A Delightful Occasion.

A Delightful Occasion.
Last Thursday, the 2Sth, was a
gala day for the people of West Tsz-
ewell, of all ages and sizes. Accord
ing to previous arrangements insti-
tuted.and formulated by the Sunday
school orkers in the bounds of the
Cedar Bluff and Midway Circuits, for
joint picnic at the historic "Chim-
ney Cave, near the residence of Mr..
Robert K. Gillespie. The people be-
gan assembling on the grounds at
an early hour, and by noon fully Eve
hundred people were present. and
the exclamations of "such crowds of
people" were heard on every side.
They were there from the neighbor-
hood of the "Painted Rocks" that
stand Midway" between the beau
tiful towns of Tazewell aud Leban-
on. They were there from where,
II ancient tins, our foresathers used
TO pound the corn", and where n W
fourishes the growing little town of
Pounding Mill. And then our friends
from the beautiful Steele Valley,
always as true as 'steeln in every
lsudable enterprise, were early OF
the grounds as representatives OF
their Burg. And then came { e
good people from that section of
Tazewell that used to be styled Egypt,
where people of less favored lands
used to come to buy corn, the 'Rich-
lands" Where from the "Cedarn
and the Bluffs that overlook
.Clinch River near here, great crowds
poured forth. And from other local
tiles in East Russell, and West Taze-
we'll, came scattering crowds.
The day was fine; the vast crowd
orderly iii the extreme, aud good
cheer and enIoyment was man fest
on every side, and amongst all ages
AID sexes, and was a reminder of the
days Of long ago, when our people
delighted to gather on similar oe-
casions. After brief addresses by
Rev's. Jonah Sparks, of Pounding
Mill, P. J. Lockhart, OF Cedar Bluff,
and R. t. Webb, OF Pocahontas,
Rev. j. A. Bilderback, after an ap-
propriate prayer made the announ-
cement for dinner, which was spread
beneath the shade of grove OF
giant sugar. trees, and partaken OF
by every one present, and after all
had been literally served the was
plenty and to spare. In the after
noon many of the young folks, and
some older ones explored the won
derful mysteries of this underground
Cavern, which is widely known in
this section as the Chimney Cave,
and famed for its wonder full forma-
ton. Others engaged in social con-
verse, IN games, etc., whilst the
strains of inspiring music from the
violins in the hands of Messrs. T. A.
Gillespie and Robert Steele, added
greatly to the occasion. The vast
throng fingered until late in the
afternoon, when in carriages, bug.
& es, road wagons, on holeback, on
wheels and on foot, they repaired &c
their homes aater q pleasant daJ
spent In recreation, rest and amuse
ments, and with fond anticipation
of the return of many more such
pleasant occasions.
