C., and oh, how changed since 1878. when I was last there, then a dull little inland town, the people lounging about the streets and the merchants and loafers sitting around the store doors. Now 1 see, perhaps, more than one hundred new buildings, and more build ing push and enterprise seem to be de picted on every face. Old Rip Van Win kle has been aroused from his long slum bers b\ the snort of the steam horse. Murphy will soon be an attractive place. It is a beautiful situation, on a bluff, at the junction of the Hivvasseeand Valley rivers. All the hotels and boarding houses are full of health seekers. We were driven’to tho house of S. W. Davidson. Ksq.. where we received such a hearty and cordial welcome. My mind at once reyerted to the old Methodist hymn : *• [si< be tlie tie that binds <>ur hearts in Christian love ; Tie-fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above.” After resting a short time, Daisy and 1 began walking around taking in the scene before us. On the boulevard we could see the beautifhl Valley liver and the Xantahola and Willey River moun tains in the distance. My mind went back to my schoolboy days, and could but exclaim: ‘•Oh, ye crags and peaks, 1 ftm with you once again 1 if I could only have time to visit the scenes of my childhood, on Jonathans creek, in Hay wood county, where I first learned to lisp the name of mother; and then, in boyhood and manhood, in the old State j of Buncomb, my joy would have been complete. ’’ 1 expect to finish my trip in 1889. as the Western North Carolina Railroad will reach Murphy during the fall or winter. After a pleasant night’s rest we com menced visiting our relatives, dining with Mrs. Margaret Hughes, my niece, and Mrs. Moss, my sister, Monday, with Major Mark Britton, then up lliwassee river with Col. H. 11. Davidson; Mr. John McCombs, and back in Murphy with Bascom Pass, and Mrs. K. V. Davidson, on Noth’ river, ten miles from Murphy, where we also met Mr. Allen Dickey and lady, and Mr. doll u Dickey, Our entire trip was an ovation, meeting so many friends and relatives, and several of rny old comrades in the army. On our re turn. Mr. Bradley conductor, everything was pleasant until we reached Nelson's, where we overtook a wrecked freight train, and the trackbeing; badly torn up, we were stopped about one hour, giving the passengers a good chance to visit tin* marble works. It was a great curi osity to most of us to witness the pro cess of sawing, sanding, polishing, and in the finishing room visitors are not ad mitted; we could only peep through the screens at the windows. Quite an exten sive business is done. 1 have forgotten the style .of the tjrm. Alter waiting awhile fin engine came up with a fiat ear ;md fill tlie passengers were placed on it. Supt. (Raver was present,. arranging boxes, trunks, etc., for seats for the lady passengers, and away we went oh the fiat car to Canton, sixteen miles, and there our conductor got a box car and stored us away in it. Wo were fill well pleased, as it had began to rain.
