Had we come. over that route we would nave saved four hours and would have reached Nashville for early supper instead of at midnight as we did. The third day we took 1t easy and came only as far as Fayetteville, Tenn, a distance of about so miles. The fourth and last day. from Fay ettcville to Birmingham, we found mo- toring very tedious. The road from Huntsville via Guntersville and Gads- den is, with the exception of a little stretch north of Gadsden and 20 miles coming into Birmingham, simply wretched.
