made up on the T. c. line just short
ways from the school grounds. The
railroad company placed a baggage
coach and also a coach for passengers u
so that they were not inconvenienced n
in the least in loading up for the
trip.
The coach was pulled around to the |
depot on First avenue and Broadway
where it was attached to the regular
train. 1t was a jolly group Of stu
dents returning home to be with their
parents and other relatives for the
vacation, and teachers. going for a
little recreation after a hard years
work.
The trip over the T. c. was a most |
pleasant one. This line traverses the
most scenic portion of the state. |
Through the hills of Central Tennes- !
see the beautiful scenery was inspir-
ing to all members of the party, and
though the journey lasted until night
no one seemed to tire in the least, |
Many things were seen to attract
their attention as the train sped on
its way. One that impressed many
was the scarcity of Negroes in that
section of the state. After the train
reached Carthage Junction there was
: scarcely a colored person to be seen
until the town of lockwood was
. reached; there several were seen and
: then they were conspicuous for their
absence until the party was nearing
= Chattanooga.
At Emory Gap the school party was
: detached from the T. c. train and at
tached to the Queen and Crescent.
u When it arrived at the historic city at
e the base of Lookout Mountain and
Missionary Ridge, Prof. Hale took
y matters in charge and in a short
while every member Of the party was
pleasantly located.
The people of Chattanooga were
4, waiting at the station with open
arms to receive the party. Hacks

lin, the Scientific Embalmer, presi-
d dent Of the National Association of
Undertakers of America.

After services the members of the
"a party returned to their respective
~, homes; dinner was had and then thC
a. party assembled at the corner o
" Chestnut and Sixth streets, where
u car was boarded for the historic Look

l arrived at this point and tickets wer
ISL secured for the Incline and soon tn
eli party was on the top of the Lookou

ny weeks to tell all that can be seel
IN from this point. The surroundin
country presents a panorama tina
human mind cannot describe. At on
point, it is we'll known, seven state

hours on the mountain, studying tn
historic points and gazing on tn
beautiful panorama that stretches OF
