A Trip on the Electric Line.

The first of the week, a trip
over the new road was exillerat-
ing to say the least. The MORN
ing was one of early Indian Sam
mer with a clear atmosphere,
high cliffs on either side, of gray
stone, aud the leaf of trees had
commenced to turn, the grassy
sloaps were still green with a
rich tinge givea to it by early
frost. While our mode of travel
over this road was primitive, yet
we could immagine how it would
seem, travelling in a modern
electric car, while we now were
pumping up aud down on the
stubborn hand car.
This will be interesting to the
sight seer, who, for want of a
change of scenery, comes this
way to view the landscape of
southern Missouri. No lack of
irregularity will bore the view
ers gaze as he looks out from
the window of his car. Aud the
constant change of scenery will
give him a recreation which will
rejuvinate his whole system.
The excitement experienced
on the trip will ever be retained
as an event Of exilleration and
enjoyment.
