The : of* the Athens party that (■ rtnigtit ago for a visit to the of North Carolina have re- Thoso who have returned are M m1 Mr*. C. D. Flannigin, Messrs. John Xcvit, Charles Scudder, Tom Ger- dineand Marlon Hull. A Bisxtit reporter met Mr. Charles Heudder yesterday anil asked liiiu for detaila of the trip to the Land of He was overflowing with en- adiniratiou for this delectii- r.m! at once piococded to give ~ . description of the trip. The party left. Athens a'fortnight ago in hicks, and drove to Harmony Glove.' The day following they drove kesvllle, and then to Tallulah they sjient a delightful admiring the beauty aud gran- Xature’a Sublimity. On Monday they set out for ig heights of the North ear ns, passing np through The roads were fearfully Hffiieavv jostling of the Wagon was a small mutter in compari son to the delightful and gratifying feast* to the eye enjoyed scanning the country for miles around from siuu- rtilfs of each lofty mountain. On the second day after leaving Tallulah Kails, tlie party safely arrived at the point of their destination, Highlands. How appropriate tlie name is! VVhat a feeling of awe at the dizzy elevation thrills one here, u feeling, however, none the less mingled with gratlflentlon and delight. Tlie root, chilling mountain air cornea floating to a weary brow like the whispering of a dying winter, and is pregnant with invigorating and' healing purity. A broad expanse of blue mountains en circled with the horizon, looks more of Heaven than earth, and the clouds in soft, white tissucy sheets float here and there in graceful confusion; for the el evation is above the clouds. Close , your eyes and In fancy picture to your self your ideal Arcadia; open,them again and you will be ashamed of your vision in admiration of the one about you. Tlio Athens party was a largo one, and oveevhotly stopped at Highlands, content 1 ,o no further in seureli of u more delectable land. Highlands Is a town of about two tlioiisund population. There are many ' hotels and boarding houses there for summer travelers, mid they are all filled tills season with vlsitois from tlie Northern eities, as well as from New Orleans nutl Southern eities. It is far away from any rallread, aud is a quiet, dreamy little village isolated from the wlilrJ of the busy world below it. It sleeps like a feather in tlie air, ’twixt Heaven and earth. “It was with painful reluctance," said 3Ir. heudder, “tbatonr party left. Many of them still remain, and will spend a month there fishing for trout and enjoying tlie bracing air ami health- giving environments of tliu spot. Among tlie number tlint remained are IMk and Mrs. Benedict, Mrs. Asbnry Hodgson ami family, Miss Alice Bow man and Mr. Walter Bishop; They will return about tlio flrst of Septem ber.” j _ Many others are expected to leave Athens soon for Highlands, and it seems to he the most favored of all the resort*. TkS Athenians now in tlie Highlands are stopping withJMIss Dixie, who is en tertaining them right royally. It is more like home than a boarding house, and the patty Jnst returned say that it Is the place to stop when you go to High lands. Miss Dixie is a cordial and hos pitable hostess, and makes every one to • fed at home with her. BUN OYER. Chief Cron Oliver Receives Painful Bruises From the Wheels of a buggy.
