A Visit to Vliiiiiuej Iturk.
Representatives of seven» 1 news¬
papers in Western North Carolina,
having been invited by Mr. Je¬
rome B. Freeman, Mrs. Judge Lo¬
gan's sons, and Mr. M. L. Edncy,
to visit Chimney Rock, the Falls,
the Caves, and the Pools, on the
Hickory Not Road and Broad
River, in Rutherford comity, 20
miles from Asheville, visited that
wonderful scenery on the 16th
and 1 7th of J nly. where they were
the recipients -of much kindness
shown them by the above-named
parties, before they separated
the following was read and
adopted :
‘• We, the members of the press
who accepted the invitation ex¬
tended to us by Mr. Jerome B.
Freeman to attend on the occa¬
sion of opening the new roads and
pathways to the grand scenery at
Chimney Rock on July 16, and
who so much enjoyed the hospi¬
tality of Mr. Freeman, Mrs. Judge
Logan and sons, and Mr. M. Ed-
ney, while witnessing the grand¬
est scenery in the Appalachian
Mountains, take pleasure in ex¬
tending our thanks to the persons
named for the very delightful ex¬
cursion which they have given ns
to Chimney Rock.
We are convinced that Mr.
Freeman’s fore-thought, energy
and heavy expenditure in open¬
ing roads and making other
improvements bv which the
magnificent scenery of this
section of our mountains may be
approached and ascended at
points where visitors can best
grasp and enjoy the wonderful
views, entith> him to the gratitude
of all our people.
We recommend to others this
section of the Blue Ridge moun¬
tains as a charming resort where
genial climate combines with al[
that is grand and beautiful in
nature to make visits to Chimney
Rock as delightful as those to
any other point in our chain ol
mountains.”
hi our next issue we will pub¬
lish an exrended account of the
wonders of Chimney Rock scen¬
ery.
The first three numbers of the
Lyceum bear evidence of the be¬
ginning of a practical literary-
magazine such as will prove ben¬
eficial to the South. The table of
contents in each number shows
an interesting series of original
articles on various subjects.
