Elizabethtown. Oct. 2O.-A
party from this city boarded
Steamer Lyon two weeks since
tor trip to the "City by the
Sea-" it was eninently a
''lovely' outing. Sunrise n
the river is particularly beauti-
fui, especially when ever-shitt- !
Ing, light fog rises, to disappear
a few minutes later. Good COM
pany, wonderfully fine stretches
of foliage and water views, extra
nice lunch" baskets to fall
back upon, when talk became
listless and a change was needed,
all made up perfect day.
About IL o'clock the Lyon made
a stop at Oakland" formerly
owned by Gen'l, Thos. Brown
of Revolutionary fame. T h e
company decided to view the
grand old place and en- masse
stormed the massive old brick
lone, the brick Of which, tradi-
ton says, came from England.
The welcome extended by Mr..
Brisson and his kind family was
cordial in the extreme and all
hands voted a return visit at the
first possible moment.
Your correspondent visited Mrs.
Roger Moore. That historic name
gives at once the charm Of a
visit there. The ''prince Of good
fellows, mir. Louis t. Moore, is
known to you newspaper men.
Mrs. Moore returned to E-town
with this correspondent, co.n!ng
up on the City Of Fayetteville"
with ministers and delegates to
; Presbytery. 1t seemed strange
that in this Cape Fear section the
river should have been q new
thing with most of the travellers.
, 1t was pleasant to see their sur
l prise at and admiration OF our old
stream Had not imagined such
beautiful scenery" ''Oh for a
kodak to get that view to send
. to Boston" !" ETC., was heard on
all sides.

much While real work goes or
