THE ROAD TO KEOKEE.

ne K'JA0 ~ hEOhEE.
The roed to Keokee is one of
the most beautiful, if not the
most beautiful, in the entire
county, especially along Pigeon
Creek. where it winds among
the trees, rhododendrons, laurel
and other growth The ever
green hemlocks vary their
green with the changing scar
let of the naples, the sombre
hues of the poplar and the mul.
tifarious colors of the other De.
ciduous trees, SO that the whole
picture is one to delight any
painter OF, for that matter, any
lover of nature in its many
phases. The odors that arise
from the woods aud from the
drying leaves rival those Of
any new-mown hay, wild grape
bloom or locust blossom that
ever pleased the senses and far
excel any of the most skillml
products of our chemists in the
way of artificial fragrance.
There is a beautiful stretch,
too, after the Lee county line
is passed, where the road winds
among the smaller tree growth
and over the ridges that separ-
ate the small branches hurry
ing TIC the river beyond. ID is
very picturesque in this part,
as one can get views of the
Black Mountain from points of
vantage here and there aud. at
the present season of the year,
they vie with the colors of the
rainbow in their gorgeousness
and prismatic variety.
An appeal has been made to
Nj. Weuta, president of the
Virginia Coal and Iron Com
pany, to save fringe of from
100 10 500 feet of tree growth on
each side of the road, so as TO
preserve its primeval, forest
beauty, and il is hoped thnt me-
will grant this favor to all Of
us who SO much love our noun

the pleasure and charm that 20
