T&e PiyaB Bannmj Ife Wednesday, September 1,1875 ON THE WING. The Junior's Visit to Union and Glenn SpriLgs. On Thursday the 19 th inst., the Ju-j - - J-Miiftiri i nior left Aooevine, wkuuui miu\hi%; exactly where lie 1 e returning to the inoi^dfes^!$ dullness of ^ the Summer's ai*<t : certainly without anj? itate&pr- i tentiou of iutlicting so irfj^^arlett^rjupon the many readers of fSfe -Prcnwatul Banner. Much more might hatfe?been 5 said, but we fear that .soia^jK^'Qur i friends may regret that we liaye&ud so;1 much. ; ! On the train that morning there were ; several ladies, and consequently A LAltOK SHII'MKXT OK CHLLDKKX. ; Among the mothers ~were Mrs. C. V. < Hammond, Mrs. (Jeorgo Syfan, Mrs. W. Hv Hammond and others. Mr. and j Mrs C'. V. H. were going on a visit to', Mr. Rut ledge's, near .Spartanburg; Mrs. j: S. was going to the mountains. Taking the train at Hodges' Depot, we made a pleasant lady acquaintance, j who, however, soon got oil' at Ureen-j; wood. Here Judge Tarrant, the popular president of Wier's Shoals Cotton Factory "Company, got aboard for Ninety- i Six. Among others at that place await-; ing the arrival of the train was Dr.! ./M. , . , f.,?n cuuan, wuuse nrau uuu , younger with the return of each sue- j< ceeding year. Two o'clock of that day i found us AT ALSTON, . where we remained all night. Tlieji Messrs. Elkin are warm hearted, obli-.i fflng people, who do nil in their power, 1 for the accommodation and comfort of i their guests. We bad the pleasure of! looking over a field of their famous K. ! K. corn, and were astonished at the pro- i ] <ductiveness of the crop, and were re-;i minded of Mr. F. XV. 11. Nance's luck at < Due West, in making thirty ears from l one hill. The ears were not of the larg-. i est kind, but they were <jiiite numerous* j< Mr. Elkin's thinks he will make fifty or I sixty bushels of corn to the acre, while11 there is no estimating the number of i pumpkins or the amount of beans that t will be gathered from the same field : At 9 o'clock next morning we got.i aboard the train and moved toward* i Spartanburg, but stopped AT U.VIO.V COURT iroUSK, ( and were soon beneath .the roof of the;' "' Kentucky House,'" kept t?y i\ir. n. Dunn, who did what he could to make our stay a pleasant one. After getting: dinner, we hunted up the ollice of an old friend, Mr. R. M. 'Stokes, editor of the Union Times, from whom we received a j hearty greeting. The That* is a good j paper, and not wholly unknown to our, readers, as our frequent allusions to that journal have made them more or Ic.-sj' acquainted with at least the name. We < afterwards presented ourself at the ollico ! of Messrs. Wallace & McKissick, lead- ( ing lawyers at Union, and had the j pleasure of meeting l'ol. Melvissick?J Col. Wallace being absent. Here weil were also met by Mr. Johnson, a promising young lawyer, who, we learn, ex-:: pects to fouu a partnership with some of j the legal gentlemen of our town, audi identify himself with us. We should indeed be pleased to have so nice a gen-! tleman come among us. Maj. Steed-!] man, a prominent member of the bar ; here, was also among the many pleasant | acquaintances we formed while in town." At night we accepted an invitation to < TKA WITH. MU. STORKS. j ! Mr. ami .Mrs. JStoKes arc in a rcmanta- j bly good state of preservation, ami .still; have warm young hearts, that are happy !' in being the parents of three grown I; bons, who are exemplary young men,j? with good business qualifications and] fine prospects of excellent-success in:; life. The oldest. Robert, is in Charlotte,] the second, Archie, is connected with i one of the best houses in town, whilei Samuel is the .sprightly loual editor of the | Thar*. Miss Laura we did not havej; the pleasure of seeing, as she was on a j ] visit to friends in Charlotte. The two older brothers we had met before, when j they sat at the table on high chairs, 1? 11 ] the young lady was not in the family j nineteen years a^o. XIIK TOWN" OF UNION in not as large a place as Abbeville, but j there are here some new business; houses that will compare favorably:! with any in our town, t'nion, it will; j be remembered, a few years ago suHerod j i severely by fire, but* in the end thisji burning was an advantage both to the i nrmmrfv-holders and to the srcneral an- < X I J O- a < pearanee of the town. Willi only two,: exceptions, ami our friend Stokes was j one of the unfortunates, the property-!: holders were well insured against loss ( by (ire, and the sites of the old buildings are now being replaced by elegant new! structures of modern architecture. THE NEW UoTEL j| fe now completed, and one of the lessees is in New York buying furniture preparatory to opening the house for the winter I business* The hotel is owned by a stock company, and cost twenty thousand dollars. Messrs. Wallace & Thomson have rented it for five years at twelve lain- , dred dollars a year. Thestoreand bank < on the ground floor have each been rented for four hundred and fitly dollars i a year. the insurance oh this large building with bank, store, : and the olttces, and twenty sleeping rooms, in board companies *is two per cent., while one-ami-three-quarters per cent, will secure a policy in non-board companies. Insurance in this town is a little different in price from the regula-|' tions at Abbeville. The owners of isolated buildings here pay from one to , one-and-a-half per cent. Jn Abbeville we beiieve the owners of the detached residences pay one per cent. In Union it seems that dwellings and Mtore houses are chai ned very nearly the same. When we inquired why the hotel was charged but little more* than iso- j luted buildings, it was claimed thai therewere so many persons in the building and so much passing that even if a lire should break out it would likely be discovered in time to save it. There is one risk here, a wooden building, upon which the owners pay four or live per cent. In Union we had some very pleasant acquaintances which were formed AT Til K CHARLOTTE CENTENNIAI,, ' some of whom we had the pleasure ofj meeting, but there were others who , / were absent, having a good time in the mountains. On Friday afternoon we attended the ICE CREAM ENTERTAINMENT, for the benefit of the Methodist church, j and had the pleasure of making the acu^atnTanCe-of-suw^of those fair creatures fwhojjive a susceptible bachelor the pal ?'pitation of the heart. On Saturday and Sunday we ***** I * * * * [When the reader sees three stars in the middle of an ar-' ticle he always knows that something has been omitted, but when he sees a whole line or more of these characters rL together, he knows that a great deal more has been left out. Sutlice it to Hay that during that lime?Saturday and Hun day?the Junior enjoyed that elegant hospitality which might equal the UWlIl'SWl 4.1 Ijr 1'HHitJ SL'\I?AV XIOJIT being wgt auu a little chilly, we had a tire njade in our room ami toasted our feet and read the newspapers until timei p>retire. We were then mistaken by' ftotne of the hotel guests for a Methodist j preacher. Speaking of Methodist j preachers, we would mention that the, Methodists of Uuion seem to be PliOO K ESS IVE >rKTIfOOISTS, Jn the fact of their dancing or playing! whist, as inclination may prompt. We believe dancing here is not looked upou : fis an unpardonable sin, even if it should be participated in by church members. We are of that class who think dancing I p graceful accomplishment, and have; Never been able to discover the least tjemblance of sin in it. There may be improper dnnccs, but we -have never | seen them. As for the Crime of playiug i whist, we have never been able to dis- J cover it, though others with different I optics may see sin lurking in the pointed ] paste boards. There is some SICKNKSS IN l"NION f just now. At the hotel the landlord has a son lying with the typhoid fever, j' while an inmate of a neighboring house i recently died of the same disease, jt The 'andlord could 11<>L account for the. s sickness, but in his g.-.rden and the ad- It joining lot there was a quantity of rot- i ting cabbage which, as everybody! knows, is as unhealthy as possible. I 1 Fifty cento cost would have removed the' ( offensive vegetable .matter, but fromji mil! :is a^conseqiieg$f.^roi^e>s and tleutli 1 follow, auefl^^HHBfterblitious sur-'c vivors lay ti all ijpfo " a mysterious dispeiisattun ,pf??ag?v!ne Providence.' i Sickness c^i&vJtTim some cause, and ( much ofitnuiybe prevented by a liitlc 'l iitteOtfon'to the rules of health.

On Monday we bid c AIMKC TO TilB TOWN* OK I'N'ION", J t iiid turned our eyes towards (flennj!" Springs. On our arrival at the depot,, v we found waiting on the cars one ofje Union's fairest divinities, whose iutelli-j v iient eyes sparkle and light up a lovely 1< face. After a pleasant ride of two hours,\ e we arrived at Itich Hill, twelve miles t from Spartanburg, where we parted with j il our fair and accomplished friend, who s was 011 her way to Spartanburg, while Id we, in company with a lady, tier hus-Ji baud, and an odd fellow, filled up the h already crippled vehicle, and struck oft', o it the rate of two miles an hour Koit (iLKN.v si'i;(N(;s. After traveling some live miles, our car-j u riajre "gave out" entirely, and we came; h to a standstill. The driver unhooked ihis horses and went forward to the ho- a N'l for another vehicle, stating that itjv ivas only three-quarters of u mile <Iis-'c; Unit. The Junior never did mind walk- t; ing, and being tired of riding lie tookitl up the line of march for this "fountain ; u >f healing waters," where he arrived in b he course of an hour or two, entertain-, o ngquite a diifereut opinion from thejc Jriwr as to the distance from 'the! jreak-Uown to the hotel.

The young ladies with the efficient |l assistance of Mrs. Kraser and Mrs. ;t Shiuglcr arranged an interesting .se-jd ries of tableaux with which to en-MJ tertain the quests of the hotel on Tues-j [lay night last, ami a glance at the pro-J a rrrnnne may give our readers a faint t idea of the skill and tact exercised by j i m .. . w*i. .,,1 m KV.iin.i* in nr. ] 1] k>i I r~?Il Ui^KJi ciuu i o. a i aov t * * *% j ranging the subjects ami of tin; fine v execution of the various pieces by the s fair performers. The entire audience a were highly entertained and those ta-ia kin.u' part in the exercises have every jt reason to be gratified ai the success of j t theaflUir. !l The first piece, "St. Valentine's Day," 1 by Misses Melton, Shingler, Dunn, and i 1 Mr. Wright. was a pleasing prelude to u the pieces that were to follow. s "Tiie (iipsy (iiri's Jieverie," by Miss v Jennie McCrery, looked perfection, as,s die stood with foot slightly poised and j tambourine in hand, apparently in J| Jeep thought upon an absent lover. |s "The Pillars of Greece" were two[v burning caudles, placed in a candle|t stick on the table. Other scenes had * been expected. > j "The Last Hose of Summer," by Miss ? Ma Shingler. The Ijeautiful young t lady held in her fingers the fading, falling flower, and was in striking contrast ? with the budding flower which stood c before us in all the freshness and beauty of early maidenhood. To those of a re- f llective mind this scene furnished a ser- 1 moii. e "The Sleeping Beauty"?Miss Fannie Melton?made a lovely and beautiful I1 picture of purity and innocence, and I * was much admired by toe audience. t lilt' r>ISi;>IV, blisses .UIIMIIC I "III I- | lips and Fannie M<:('reery?a sweet piclure. I "The JJelleof (jIon 11 Springs" broughti down tin* house. J "Prayer and Praise," Misses Fanniej Mo!ton ami Jennie MoC'roery, was pcr-j foully rendered. "Flower (Jiil, No. 1," Miss Minnie 1 Phillips, made a happy effect. "Flour (jlirl. No. 2," Miss Gore, pro-it sented a humorous contrast. j 1 "The New Bonnet," Miss Shingler> and Mr. Wright, exhibited the joy do- j picted upon beauty's lace, as she stood ' t before tho mirror admiring her new j bonnet, while her old husband stood, behind her with the bill for the same, j t showing unmistakable. signs of his 1. want of appreciation of the beauty,* but i showing a full realization of the amoitnt j i of money which his wife's pleasure had 1 ; cost hi in. jt "The Bridal Scene," was good, .but !t quite different from what we had ox- u pected. Tho owner of tho bridle seety-j \ ed to l>e looking for his horse. j r "Jealousy," Misses Minnie Mellon''j and Minnie Dunn, was much admired.! n Miss Dunn was sitting gazing at thel picture of the "favored one," perfectly I unconscious of the presence of her;* rival, who stood behind her with a dag-j( gerinan uplifted hand, ready to strike jc a death blow to the unsuspecting fair i \ one. Nature has sufficiently favored jc both the fair actors in this scene to make! i hosts of conquests with other and more11 certain weapons than daggers. 11 " A Christmas Dream," Misses Lula'' Toasdale and Minnie McCreery, could ( not have been better conceived or better j < executed. A lovely picture by two love-11 ly little girls. After which the happy < scene of "A Christmas Morning" 1<?1-1 j lowed, illustrating the great pleasure j that may be so cheaply conferred upon innocent little hearts. "The Skeleton in Every House," was a hoop skirt, suspended over the stage., i "Temptation" and "Triumph" wereji excellent tableaux, by Misses Minnie i Melton, Dunn, and Jennie McCreery. ' j * -. "When the Oat's&way* -the Mice will!] play," a laughable school scene, which c is easier imagined than described, Misses \ L. Teasdale, M.

Finally, '] o the relief of all, the '"Belle of (ileiinjtl springs" was announced, the curtain lg ras withdrawn, and the gaze of every.I in ve in the hail fell upon the Motel Bell, c rhen enthusiastic applause fol-'g owed. Kvery lady then resigned herjci laiins and hopes for the honor of being c he Belle of (Jlcnn Springs. The con-|C luct of the ladies and gentlemen in re- ia ponso to the Bell's intimation thatshejei csired the guests to assemble in the a irge hall on the Western siiU; of t he J e; otel was cheerfully responded to by (ci very guest on the next morning.

LESS SI'UINUS AND r.KSATt'S HK.VD, At. Glenn Springs there is ample ac' nmmoilatiuus for about one hundred nd fifty or two hundred persons, 'here being now about one hundred and liirty guests enjoying the society and ood water of this place. There i.aom for more company here than al liesar's Head, but the scenery is not sc rand. The waters of this place art nnsidered very excellent and is the liief inducement to visitors, while al 'ie-ar's Jlead the pure mountain ait nd the sublime scenery are the prinipal attractions. So if our friends art illictcd with dyspepsia, or other disises for which these waters are a apeilio, we would advise them to conn ere, while we would advise those siel; f malarial diseases, or those who urn esire to see some of nature's grand seecry, to go to Caesar's Head, where the liiitl of the beholder cannot, help being lised to a higher plane, and made pti.T ill the contemplation of the powei nd majesty of ilim who "overturnetli lonntains in his anger," and who maj snaKe me .eartn out or uer iounuaon* and causa the. pillars thereof tc vmbli'," but who in His love for sinful lan has prepared for him a place in nit city whose streets are of gold and hose gates' are of pearls. \VH SI'KXI) OUU TIMi: i many ways: Jn reading, writing, aneing, playing cards, rolling ten pins romcnading, listening to good music, jurting, ?i*c., Ac., and each man or wolan elects for himself or herself the janner in which the time shall be !">olit.

After tea nearly II the guests assemble either in tlu arlororiu the dance hall where tlu lusic is resumed and kept up untill ten 'clock or later.

The large company ami the itrercut amusements attord continued njoyment or recreation in one way .01 nother and one forgets the cravings ol ersistunf creditors and is even inclined 1 give impecunious debtors a furthet . spite. But all this enjoyment 01 musenu nt is as the syllabub to the relilies of life.
