Bv far the pret,iest spot on Jamestown
to-day 10 ShoTeby Hill. where roads are 80
well kept and where yarieeated flowers are
In full bloom In wide banks to view which
persons from the hotels and cottages often
journey. The entrance TO the hill Is styled
"Lorgfellow road" which leads up TO the
fine cottages Of the St. Louis visitors and
continues out to the main road on Emer-
son read. which is poetical enough for any
one TO travel
