TENNESSEE.

Leaving Philadelphia Saturday
IOct 22nd, on Chicago Limited, for
Union, thence over NJ. & NJ. on Light
ening Express to Meridian thence
over A q. S., on New York Special,
we arrived at Chattanooga, Tenn.
Sunday 23rd.
The remainder Of this afternoon we
spent driving over Chickamauga Ma
tional Park. To our surprise we
3found hundreds of people there at
tending a ball game and horse rac-
ing. What will become of the next
/ generation? Space is too limited to
/ describe this beautiful Park.
Leaving friend Lewis in Chatta-
nooga, left Monday afternoon for
Knoxville. Arrived there at 4:3o,
and was met by Lonnie Harrington,
a Neshoba County boy, who il hold
ing a fine position there, having
graduated at Mississippi A, and Nj.
College a few years ago.
The mountain scenery from Bir-
mingham to Knoxville was beauti-
full indeed. The different color Of
leaves on the trees gave the Noun
tains the appearance of a huge bou-
quets 275 miles long and u mile high.
''Some bouquets.
/ Chattanooga and Knoxville both
claim population OF 100000 people.
i The former boasts of its numerous
factories, beautiful scenery. the home
Of Black Draught and Wine OF Car
dui, Birthday Almanac and scores OF
other things. The later boasts of it's
Colleges and the State University.
| BY Gas / arrived at Maryville, a
beautiful mountain town of North
east Tenn Here is located one OF the
best schools in the South. About
1000 young men and young women
attend this college each session.
Nothing is left undone for their de-
velopment, mentally. physically,
morally and religiously.
z Returning. to Chattanooga Tues
Iday afternoon found the Fias over
flowing with Confederate Soldiers
and visitors. At least 10000 regis
tered at the Patten Hotel. This build
ling cost $l.250,000 dollars and con-
tains furniture and fixtures valued
| at $500,000.
The Reunion continued three days
land was very entertaining all the
, time. The average age OF the old
soldiers was 50 years.
The hospitality OF the people at
Chattanooga during this occasion
will ever be appreciated by the
many thousands who attended.
4 I'VE visited Lookout Mt, Mission
ary Ridge, the big bridge over the
Tenn, river costing 81 ,250, 900 dollars,
and various other places OF interest.
The Chattanooga wagon factory
covers a large area and it Is interest
ing to pass thrn and follow the oak
and hickory timbers from where they
are unloaded from railway cars un-
til a wagons completed. We met
the owner and head book keeper and
y. what do you think, after we told
them where we lived? They stated
that they had a letter from George
Mars OF Philadelphia, Miss.
| wish every reader OF the Demo.
Ecrat and especially the boys and
girls OF Neshoba Co., could visit the
Market House and the building that
contains Tennessee products. The
market house contained every thing
that could be thought of to eat.
The Tennessee products building
contains one article OF every thing
produced In Tennessee, In factory,
farm, orchard and mine. Imust say
thataI was surprised to find SO many
things produced In our sister state.
Que other item OF great interest was
the good roads that went In every
direction. The most perfect road
have ever viewed, runs from Chatta-
nooga to Knoxville alongside the
Southern Ry., a distance OF Ill miles.
! Back to the beginning OF our trip
at Meridian we made reservation for
berths on Sleeper, and this was our
4 first attack on a Pullman car. With
out any ceremony We proceeded to
retire. The writer became so enthus-
ed over sleeping at the rate OF 40
miles per hour. that he forgot to re-
move his ''britchess. In short time
the colored porter slipped our shoes
from under the bed, carried them to
the smoking room and gave them
what they needed. / thought that
my shoes were gone but knew /
had my "britches'.
l., At certain cafe friend Lewis told
ftfferolored Ma.iter to pass him some
OF those .lasses' over there on a
certain table. The writer replied
