A Trip to Mountain View.

Dear Sentinel: The morning
Of August End dawncd fair and
lovely and there being different
places of interest to attend on
that day we hardly knew where
we wanted to go worst, but !
got out the car zone horse wag-
on) and cranled it up q mean
hitched in the horsc) and we
started for ono place. but we
had not gone far before | found
out that the girls in my party
were inclined toward Mountain
View. Now | haze always
noticed that the easiest way to
get along with women folks
and girls especially is to do lust
what they want you to or let
them do as they please. And
taking this view Of it | turned
old Dobbins' head toward Noun
tain View. Well it was a good
long drive but we kept pegging
away until we came to a nice
cool spring and nice shade where
we stopped and had us a regular
little picnic. When having
rested we proceeded on our way.
Good crops and signs Of pros
perity enlivcned our trip until i'm
sight of the church we began to
wonder whore all the people
were coming from. They were
coming on foot, horseback, in
buggics and carriages, and from
every direction. Well at about
Ia O'Clock, as arranged, Prof.
Bolding marched his class into
the church, then things began
to happen. Such singing is sell
dom heard. Now | cannot tell
all that was sung; q number OF
the best sacred songs; one comic,
Farmer Browns Old Buggy, -
was worth going miles to hear.
Now | cannot tell all in this let
ter, 80 | will close by saying it
was a trip long to be remember
ed. and wishing every reader of
The Sentinel one like it, and
prosperity and happiness to
those good people out there.
l am respectfully.
