"Optimus" Among ilio Western Hills of North Carolina. S- ' I JO , , . Mr. Kimtou :?After weeks of ]<r n planning and arranging business affairs Mrs Optimns, three little ^ Optiniuses and myself were ready j for a trip of several weeks in the Western part of North Carolina. ^ , Mrs Optimus remembered the _ ^ many inconveniences of tho numerous bundles, baskets and boxes us of former trips and this time she ' decided to tako just as few as ^ possible to the great satisfaction ? of Optimus and the littlo Optimuses. She even discarded wors 4 ^ man's indispensible hat box. On J the morning of tho 29th of duly, p long before the streaks of earlv n ' ' dawn were visible, the little Op- | >tl , . , I U I tunuses were acting the part of an alarm clock and had every one ' up and stirring. The early train ' on the OC&N was on time, and s. ' [ ..j before old Sol had cast his splendor over the eastern horizon, we ? bade adieu to friends and tho lit- i tie village of Van Wyck, and r_ were carried rapidly over the ... magnificent Seaboard to Monroe, | . N. C. Hero we had a rest of over ' 1 an hour, which we spent in viewer ing the beautiful flowers of the Seaboard's garden and chatting II with friends in the waiting room. 10 ^'e sftw 80,110 Uncle Sam's * boys in their uniforms of blue 8 i? and brown who were on their wnv I? " J t] T_ North. They were handsome fel- 1 " lows and stirred up u patriotic H', feeling, that made others feol like ^ offering themselves to their conn- * try and donning the blue and ' hrown. The C C truin pulled up, * and the words "All aboard for ^ Charlotte" were given. This it train was well tilled with passen- ft ia gers on their way to the raoun>n tains. At Charlotte we had a stop c ef of another hour or more. Here ? ?n we saw much to amuse us. There , to was a colored excursion to he 11 ri- hitched on to our tiain. The exy cursionists began to gather al>out xl the depot and many words of . ? le croetincr nassed fiom one to an- ^ o O I ? c t other, that would evoke the risa- a lo hies of the most dignified. The ^ )Q cxcurHion had its indispensable * ry brass band which dispensed music ? of various sounds from the 1 screetch of an owl to tho shrieks ir' <?f a catawaul, nevertheless, the * excursionists seeme<l to enjoy it ^ very much. The train pulled out 11 amid the noise of tho band and l' 8 ~ shouts of those on !>oard and 11 those left behind. Tho excursion 11 conches were dropped at McCords ^ . Station, near the Catawba Kiver * and we moved more rapidly on- ^ ward towards tho western hills h and now and again we would hear some one cry out "look at that "j beautiful mountain in the (lis- I vo tance. !" The scenery became nt more and more enchanting as we L?d approached nearer the foothills of this mountain country. A thrill whistle notified us that wo were n> nearing Cincolnton and when wo id looked out we saw that the little id Narrow Gauge train was pulling' rd UP parallel with us at tho depot ,n at Lincolnton. Here we changed h\ cars to the Narrow Gauge with t the connection so close that we ,o did not have even time to get our 0| tickets but the kind conductor as. ,it stired us it was all right, we could ] or pay our fare on the train which < or would be the same as if we hnd : 1 purchased tickets. We arrived at Newton on time, where we got j p- off and enjoyed a few days rest in ^ :le this lieautiful western town.
