Editor Sentinel:

very large. HltncrtO L had considered
the world extended within the limit
of my home circle and neighborhood,
and l was satisfied; now, alas, l have
been disilluSioned-'Where ignorance
is bliss, It's folly to be wise" And
now that L have had a glimpse of this
big world, like TennySon's river, l
want to go on forever. Yet it was
nice to return to my own little
world"
Now that l have concluded my pre-
Jude L will tell Of my pleasant trip.
Que day last week my daughter and
Son-in-law came by on their way to
Allison Wells. They Insisted on my
going with them and L soon awOke to
the necessity Of a little recreation and
rest, as | had a gum boil on my
tongue and a bunniOn on my foot. So
at last after much meditation and de-
liberation, | packed my suit case and
rode away.
We got off at Grenada expecting to
remain only a few hours, but found
a big Baptist meeting in progress con.
Quoted by Bro. McCOmb, an able, in
telligent minister, who expounded the
word in such a vivid manner that it
resulted in the awakening of many
souls, embracing Jesus, renOuncing
Satan and his alluring sinful pleas
ures. While attending the meeting,
my heart was made glad by seeing
some of the friends of my college days.
The Lord had dealt kindly with them
for they still possess youthful forms
and lovely faces.
While in Grenada we enjoyed the
hospitality Of MesSrS J. G. Perry and
Rice PreSSgrOve, two of Grenada'S
progressive citizens and merchants.
we also drove out a few miles to the
suburban home of Mr.. Charlie Perry.
Found him and family enjoying life
and health. A fine prospect for a good
crop can also be seen from his lovely
home.
Well. after remaining our limit in
Grenada, we caught an early train
and proceeded on our journey. We
passed through an extensive farming
country, cotton and corn, sorghum
and potatoes, good, bad and indiffer,
ent. Some of the cotton looked like |
it might remain for a better stand
next year. | also passed through sew
eral progressive little towns, dotted
on each side of the railroad.
We Travelled on and on until the
middle of the day when we reached a
little place called Way, a short dis
lance from the point of our deStina-
tlon. The bus to convey passengers
to the Wells was awaiting those who
wished to continue their journey.
Some of us remained at Way, dining
with Mrs. G. G. Horton, and calling
Mrs. ~ROdabough in the evening.
while awaiting the return of the bus.
L must say that the Wells are all
they are claimed to be. The water.
II drank according to direction, will
the desired effect. The hotel is
large and well ventilated: the rooms
are neat and clean: a wide gallery runs :
all around, upstairs and down: and {
halls run all through, making all the Z,
cool and nice. The dining room 5
IS large and airy, the table parapha- !
lalla nice and white. The various 5

We had music at each meal, making
t pleasant to linger and listen. The
