Excursion vs.. "Hard Times

The cry Of hard times is heard from
"early morn till dewy eve" and every
breeze that stirs is heavily laden with
it; yet the cry OF excursion" always
inds the blatant ''hard times" howlers
provided with the necessary commo.
'lity to pay the round trip price.
Parties who complain that they find
nothing to do whereby to keep Il e
"wolf from the door" and pay just
and honest debts, are seen mingling
with every crowd OF excursionists
that goes and comes. Truly there il
magnetism about the word excursion.
1t draws forth crowds every time, and
these crowd, carry immense amounts
OF money away from town on every
occasion which presents itself, and in
many instances haggard and pincbed
faces are left behind in consequence,
the wolf standing at the door with
raveaous appetite Notwithstanding.
1t has always been so, however, and
we suppose it will continue to be 10
for all time. Excursions give Che lie
to the cry OF "hard times" and go to
show that in the majority oil instance 8
they exist only in imagination. 1i1a

Excursion 10 Knoxville.

The large number OF citizens at the
depot Saturday morning was aug
mented by an unusually large crowd
which came in on the narrow gauge
who were picked up all along the line
from Cranberry to johnson City.
The immense throng standing about
the depot was composed of old and
young, white and colored, both sexes
also being represented, Not less than
| 900 persons must have been present,
and when the train rolled into position
there was general stampede Of hu.
nanity. Everybody at once made an
fort to get ab ard, and the confusion
was Of course great Notwithstanding
all this haste and hurrying end eager
ness to get on the train, there was
ample TINA for every soul of the
st,rner sex tn have seated himself
comfortably without subjecting the
ladies to the embarrassing and rude
treatment of being jostled about by
those lords OF creation IN then frantic
efforts to get aboard first, as the traiu
stood there at least trree.qusrters oil
an hour before it's departure. II
finally bounded away, however, carry
ing along at least half the number
who had gathered at the depot. We
didn't 20, Of course, We we're not ex-
pected in Knoxville; so We stayed at
h me. We swspped knives the day
before the excursion, but failed to get
the boot We were promised in the
trade. Our funds were consequently
short, and we were compelled TO stay
aud foregO the pleasure Of the trip.
We are told that everything passed
of pleasantly, both along the route
and while at Knoxville, but a great
many looked tired, worn out and
sleepy upon their return, while others
took better care Of themselves and ap
peared to better advantage. Johnson
City and the surrounding country fur.

all occasions, land don't you forget it. u

Excursion to Cranberry.

Last Friday afternoon when the
narrow gauge train came in, which
had on board large crowd Of mem,
bers OF the synod and citizens of the
town, it was difficult to recognize a
great many OF them. In fact, they
unprecedented the burnt cork people in
the way Of color. They had ridden in
an open car behind the engine, and
the smoke and coal dust did it's work
most effectually. A lot of the ladies
shared the same fate.
They we're doubly repaid for this
drawback, however, as they report
having been most pleasantly enter
tanned at the other end Of the line.
They enjoyed a free dinner at the
Cranberry Hotel and had the salts
faction otteasting their eyes upon the
rare and beautiful sights which that
mountainous region affords. The
picturesqueness Of the scenery along
the entire route is worth the trip OF
any one at any time upon the narrow
gauge road.

FOOLS Errand,

Last Sunday afternoon the report
leaked out that the wreck vas just
this side OF Watauga, and it was not
long before stream OF humanity was
moving hurriedly in that direction.
The writer followed close upon the
heels of the balance Of the dsmphools
only to find that the wreck had occur
red just few miles this side Of Bristol.
There was nobody to flag us, and we
came very near walking into Watauga
before the eastbound train, which had
been waiting at johnson City for or
ders, flew by us at what we thought
was the rate of seventy i've miles an
hour. That convinced US that the
road was clear, and that we had per
formed FOOLS errand consequently,
we shambled back TO johnson City
and managed to make the trip, along
with the other fools, by about twilight,
broken down and hungry.
