a letter TO The Democrat while ON his
recent st. Louis trip, Rev. Score gave
his impression Of Hickman, KY, as fol.
lows have seen a good deal of the
world, but L don't know that / have
ever been struck with any natural
scenery as | have with the scenery of
Hickman, KY. The majestic Mississippi
below and the town built upon the hin
side and on top of tit is certainly un.
ique, beautiful and striking. As tried
to ascend the hills to-day had a desire
to spend the rest Of my days right there
You may from that understand that [
got awfully struck on Hickman.
