A Wedding Occasion.

| "A WCNUAuS OCCASION.
One of the most interesting we'd.
dings that it has been our privi.
lege to attend lately, camo of on
the Goth ult., in the north western
portion of Pickens county.
Having had previous notice we
loft Pickens Oh tho afternoon of
the 25th and after travelling about
five miles spent the night ut the
residence of the groom's father, l..
B. Gravely, whore we were very
handsomely entertained in various
ways.
On the morning of the Goth we
set out about sunrise, our objective
point being McKinney's
Chapel some IL miles away.
Though tho air was somewhat cool
the scenery on the way was 50 im-
posing that tho time seemed short.
For natural scenery no public
highway that we have ever travel
od for the same distance, will sur
pass that clustering along the
Nino limos road over which we
travelled.
This course takes it's name from
tho fact that in distance of
about 6 miles we cross tho same
stream nine times. 1t was ANUS
ing to hear one Of the party say
that since this stream vas bridgod
we do not Cross SO often. Mean
ing that we do not ford SO often.
The scenery includes mountains
gorges, valleys and streams, of
various names and sizea, all beau
tiful for situation.
Three of the largest are Twelve
Mile, Little and Big Eastatoo. Tho
mountains on either side overlook
tho valleys below, as if conscious
of majesty and strength, with sev-
eral belts of peaks rising quite u
distance above the Lowell; tho sides
are formed Of slopes from which
rise battlements turrets and pin
nacles alone or in clusters Of tall
conical spires. On this mass of
material, nature has lavished her
wealth Of colors with spcnd-thrift
hand.
Some of the taller of ruddy
browns or pompeian red melt away
in the debris from which they
spring, to rich yeliows fading be-
low to cool greys in exquisite gra-
dations. "''-
This is the region whore the ven-
orable Wilkes made such heroic
tour, and where his much lameted
steed "Dash" dashed hoadlong
down fearful precipe the fond
remembrance of which still at
times engages his facile pen.
The wedding parties consisting
Of q few relations and friends and
the Rev. Inabonett, of North Pick
ems circuit, reached the church
tho place set apart for tho mar
riage ceremony about 10 a. m. al
