The summer is past and the har-
vest practically ended. The thanks
giving turkey is almost ripe and
the glad yuleIide not far distant
when the summer tourists will Sit
around comfortable hearthstones
and cheslnuts will figure conspi
clously III the social entertain
ment. There are chestnuts and
chestnuts. Just so are there eX-
cursions, outings, jaun,s, larks and
lsrks, jaunts, outings and excur-
slons, but one which was pro-
nounced bv some present as the
most delightful trip of the kind
ever enjoyed, one which will fur
nish food for manv pleasant hour
of conversation around the hearth
stone, and one which is not now
and by no means will be ckesi-
nut, was a trip enjoyed by the
stockholders of the Portsmouth
Fire Brick company over their
new line of railway In Garter
County Kentucky last week. In
viialions had been sent cut by the
president, w. @. Adams, to the
stockholders and a few prominent
citizens, Of which the writer was
so fortunate as to be one. Not as
IA prominent citizen be it under
stood, but either because the age
would justify one in supposing the
wriIer would make a first class
chaperoEe or as an act OF charity
TO extend an invitation to hard
worked, under fed pencil pusher
who, no matter how many similar
trips may be enjoyed is ever ready
to make one OF The patty and can
always see something new, enter
tanning, enjoyable and profitable
In the trip, and no matter how
frequently wined and dined is ever
ready for square meal, luncheon
or treat of any kind, soda water
and flowers acceptable at all sea-
sons of The year-ihe line drawn
on chewing gum. No matter just
how The writer happened TO be so
fortunate al TO receive bonafide
printed invitation. Suffice to say
said writer was there and being of
an unselfish disposition is anxious
for all who were not so fortunate
t. know something of The trip.
There was anOih her newspaper rep
resentalIve with he party, Miss
Margaret Saumenig, of the New
York Mail and Express aud Brook
lyn Eagle, who like the writer was
never known to refuse an invita-
ton or parlake literally of a good
hing no matter when, where. or
how often The opportunity affords
itself, always provld ng there is no
outlay OF dollars aud cents con-
nected with it. The other high
from Logan whose
right to be there was unquesiioned
by virtue OF being stockholders
were: Mr.. Charles 4. Bowen and
wife, Mr.. John G. Rochester and
vile, Doctor David Little and wife,
Messrs Jonn Woodruff, Joel Kits
miller, j. P. Henderson, j. Z.
rrlisch ard Mrs. John Hopiey, of
Bucyrns. DR.. Little and wife uu-
dertook the trip in order TO get
broken in for their trip To Chicago
to The Exposition. The oldest in
habilants held a meeting Monday
evening and decided 1t was the
first trip John G. Rochester had
taken, with the exception of al
lending a funeral now and then
since his wedding tour. Mr. Ro
chester had he forelhought to ap-
proach The depot by wav of the
,owpaih lest The shock might prove
90 great for some of the residents
" tii predisposition 10 hearl
ronble. Mr.. Henderson was sus-
pected of having a sinister motive
N taking the trip. Besides the
sinister motive he had a generous
supply of his business cards bear
ng. a cut of plow of most power
ful and wonderful proportions.
which cards he distributed freely
among the natives Of Kentucky.
Candor compels us TO state some
Of the country looks as though a
strong plow used to advantage
would not be amiss. Here's 10 The
of Mr.. Henderson, mana
ger of Belts Combination Plow
Works. Messrs Woodruff, Trllsch
and Klltsmiller were dubbed he
Siames Twins and were boon and
inseparable companions during the
entire trip. One more particularly
inclined might have suggested
The Three Graces" as quite as
appropriate distinction of these
solid and substantial citizens.
The party, jolly one, left at 10
am. Monday, for Portsmouth, The
was a perfect one and he
country, as every one Knows, beau
iful at this particular season of
the year. The scenery in the
Hooking Valley is known TO be
some of The finest. although those
who live IN The valley are probably
not so capable of approaching lis
full beauty unless they visit in
other parts where the country is
level and wholly different Some
of the party who had visited dii-
ferent parts of the east expressed
themselves as more delighted with
the Hooking Valley and Ohio River
scenery than with the mountains
Of Pennsylvania or even the fam,
Dus Hudson River scenery. Just
how there can be so much wicked
ness. crime and vice in the midst
Of so much that is beautiful and
grand i'm nature is hard matter to
understand.
