A. W. GREENWOOD, Superintendent, The Members of the Juniata Valley Editorial Association Oo Sight Seeing. Monday, Ootober4th, the editors of the Juniata valley, accompanied by their ladies, started on a trip to the Sunny South. The journey to Harrisburg was made by different routes but most of the party reached that city on Sea Shore express. From the Capitol oity to Chambersburg the excursionists were chaperoned by Ed Burns.of Hagerstown,traveling agent of the Cumberland Valley railroad. Mr. Burns is a bureau of information as well as a traveling agent and this isn't the first time the Juniata Valley editors have had the pleasure of his company on such trips. He is a whole-souled genial gentleman whom it is a pleasure to greet. His quiet business manner impresses one with the fact that business is his pleasure. At Chambersburg the party was met by Hon. J. Nevin Pomeroy, of the Repository, and Hon. M. A. Foltz and son, of Public Opinion, and escorted to the waiting train of the Western Maryland road. These gentlemen hoped the editors would find it convenient to tarry at Chambersburg on their return trip in order that the people of the chief town of our neighboring county might have opportunity to extend hospitality to the party. This hospitality was necessarily but regretfully declined. The journey from Chambersburg to Gettysburg over the Western Maryland road, popularly known as "Thaddeus Stevens' Tape Worm'* was delightful. As a traveler approaches the summit of the South mountain at Pen-mar there spreads before him a panorama which beggars description. The fertile Cumberland valley—full forty miles wide—with its well tilled soil, cozy farm buildings, herds of choicest cattle, and dotted here and there a village or town with its busy hives of industry, presents a sight whioh any one might travel many weary miles to view with profit. One of the party exolaimed as he gazed upon tins soene, ''Little wonder that Lee's soldiers were eager for an advance into Pennsylvania when they feasted their eyes upon suoh a sight." At Edgetnont baskets of the ohoioest peaches of that section were brought aboard the tram and eagerly did the members of the party purchase and deyour the delicious fruit. Here we found chestnuts under cultivation—a new sight to most of us —and it is evidently a profitable business. The burrs were full four times as large as those we have in this seotion and we were told that the nuts have a finer flavor than those grown wild. Gettysburg was reached early in the afternoon and the party became the guests of the Gettysburg Electrio road and was escorted over the famous battle field by officers of the oompany and under the guidance of Prof. Hankey. In the evening Capt. James T. Long gave a vivid description of the battle at the Gettysburg House. After Capt. Long's leoture a hop was given in the hotel dining room whioh was participated in by a number of the excursionists. Guyon H. Buehler, of tbe Star and Sentinel, spared no pains to make the stop at Gettysburg a pleasant one. Here we met James Booher, formerly of Cromwell township, to whom we are indebted for many courtesies. Early Tuesday* morning the party boarded the speoial car provided by tho Western Maryland officials and oontinued their journey to Baltimore. In the Monumental oity it was "go as you please" and the party, divided into squads of from two to I six and spent the afternoon in sight seeing, visiting friends and transacting business. Druid Hill park seemed to be the favorite objective point of many of the squads* At this oity the editor had the pleasure of meeting A. Parlett Lloyd, Esq., witb whom he at one time roomed at Williamsport Dickinson Seminary. Mr. Lloyd is a prominent attorney at the Baltimore bar and is the author of at least two legal text books which are considered excellent authorities throughout the land on tht subjects of which they treat, Mr. Lloyd spent a short time with us and placed us under obligations to him in pointing out places of interest and giving us valuable information. Among the places to whioh be piloted us was St. Paul's (Catholic) cathedral where we viewed two fine oil paintings presented to the diocese of Baltimore by Louis XVIII. of Franoe. In the evening we boarded the Old Bay Line steamer, "Georgia," at the Union Dook. Here we were met by Frank A, Heywood, editor of Southern Progress, of Philadelphia, who during our further journey south was to be our guide. ■ He it was who had plauned the trip and made the arrangements for our reception in the places to be visited. It didn't require five minutes acquaintance with him to satisfy one that he had all the preliminaries as well as the details thoroughly under oontrol, and that any party under his guidance would have a good time. On board also were Murray Forbes, of Portsmouth, traveling passenger agent of the Seaboard Air Line and Joseph Strang, of Boston, New England passenger agent of the same company. We found these gentlemen valuable acquisitions to our party. The voyage down the Chesapeake Bay in one of the palatial steamers ot the Old Bay Line is one long to be remembered. Early Wednesday morning we were landed at Old Point Comfort, par- took of an elegant breakfast at the Hygeia Hotel and made hurried visits to Fortress Monroe—the most formidable fortification in the United States—the Hampton Industrial School and the Soldiers' Home. At 11 o'olook we took passage on the steamer Luray for Norfolk. The route was over the Hampton Boads where occurred the famous battle between the Monitor and Merrimac. Arriving at Norfolk we took dinner at the New Atlantio after which we were tendered and accepted a trip to Virginia Beach, eighteen miles eastward, by the officials of the Norfolk, Virginia Beach and Southern Bailroad. Virginia Beach is a popular resort where tbere is fine bathing from the middle of April to the middle of November. The beach is not quite as fine as at eome of the New Jersey resorts but being more diversified is possibly more attractive. The Princess Anne hotel with a capacity of 300 guests is finely furnished and presents an inviting appearance. The waves of old ooean seemed to bid a welcome to our party but most all Something; to Know. It may be worth something to know that the very best medioine for restoring the tired out nervous system to a healthy vigor is Eleotrio Bitters. This medicine is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone to the nerve centres iu the stomach, gently stimulates the Liver and Kidneys, and aids these organs in throwing off impurities in the blood. Eleotrio Bitters improves the appetite, aids digestion, and is pronounced by those who have tried it as the very best blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for 50c or $1.00 per bottle at B. O'Connor & Sons;' lacked the fortitude to breast the breakers. The editors of the Item and the Huntingdon Globe, however, couldn't resist her blandishments and plunged in. A few others followed and enjoyed an October bath. Returning to Norfolk supper was served at the New Atlantic after which we crossed the ferry to Portsmouth where we found three tourists' sleeping oars placed at our dis* posal by the officials of the Seaboard Air Line. These we boarded and started on the journey to Charlotte, N. 0., which city was reaohed Thursday morning. A line of carriages were in waiting to convey the excursionists to the Central Hotel where breakfast was served. After breakfast we were escorted to the pleasant rooms of the Southern Manufacturers' Olub where liquid refreshments were served in abundance. After introduction and a cordial weloome by the mayor the entire party waa again summoned to the carriages and driven about the oity, through the park and to some of the manufacturing establishments. Charlotte is known as the "Queen City of the Carolinas." Itis a busy industrial oentre, and has modern improvements. It is a very old city and the oounty seat of Meoklenburg county. Here it v.as that the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence was promulgated May 20,1775, more than a year prior to the Declaration of the Continental Congress. The wording and spirit of the Mecklenburg Declaration were much the same as that afterwards adopted at Philadelphia. The Louise cotton mills were visited. This is one ofthe repent industries of the Queen oity and it is a complete plant having thirteen thousand spindles and four hundred looms. The oity has six of these mills and and also hosiery, towel, olothing, sash cord and other factories. There are in all forty-five establishments in the oity of Charlotte in which skilled labor is employed. The population of the oity in 1890 was 12,000 while five years later the population had increased to 19,800. One of the great industries of the piaoe is the Charlotte Oil and Fertilizing Company. Of this and the cotton industry of the vioinity we shall speak in another issue of the Item. Thursday evening a reception was tendered the editorial party at the home of the Southern Manufacturers' Club. H. S. Ghadwiok, president of the club, was master of oeremonies, in whioh he was a< y ass st- ed by his handsome and charming wife. Mr. Ghadwiok is a native of Vermont and Mrs. Ohadwick of New Tork. Among the entertainers were other handsome women whose names have slipped our memory but their hospitality will not be. forgotten. After some hours in sooial inter-, oourse an exchange of greetings took place. Remarks were made by Pres. Ohadwick, G. H. Maoklin, Gapt. Mortimer, Dr. Brumbaugh, Capt. Watts and Tom Harter. At 5.10 Friday morning we bade good-bye to Charlotte and started on the return trip. ' Tbe first stop was at Hamlet for breakfast. Twenty minutes were allowed for this meal aud when we stepped from tbe train it was the general conclusion that five minutes were sufficient for a party of hungry Yankees to olean out all the provisions in the unpretentious place, but when we entered the dining room we regretted that we hadn't at least an hour for the meal. We have eat- Yon can't alford to risk yonr life by allowing a oold to develop into pneumonia er consumption, Instaut relief and a certain care are afforded by One Minute C'oiiglvCure, A. B, Gillam aud J, O. Heaton. en our meals in several states and at some of the finest hotels in our large cities but permit an humble country editor to set it down that never has he eaten at a railroad or other dining room a better breakfast than was served" us in the S. A. L. dining room at Hamlet. The cuisine was perfeot and the service complete. If any of our readers travel in that neighborhood we advise them to plan their route so as to take a meal at Hamlet. Friday morning we reaohed Southern Fines and registered at the Ozone hotel. Southern Pines is a comparatively new town, and has no industrial establishments. It is a health resort, and has good hotels, chief of which is Piney Woods Inn situated on a commanding eminence back of the town. This hotel is not open to the public except during the winter months. Since its erection every season bas found it filled with guests from the north whose constitutions are suoh that they oannot stand the rigors of northern winters. Most ot the residents of Southern Pines are from the north and they are energetic people. The olimate of this region is mild, the air is light and so healthy is the place that in the twelve years the town has had an existence bnt two graves have been dug in the oemetery and the occupant of one of these is a native. In the afternoon the excursionists accepted an invitation to visit Pine- hurst, six miles distant, and oonneoted witb Southern Pines by a trolley road. On the way we passed through the famous Van Lindley fruit farm which covers an area of oyer six hundred aores, over fonr hundred of whioh is planted in peach trees. Twenty-eight thousand crates of peaches were shipped to the New Tork market alone this season. Pinehurst is a new place, the first moye towards starting the town having been made but two years ago. In that time a complete sewerage system, water works, eleotrio light plant, magnificent hotels, casino, school building, store room and several cottages have been built. Pinehurst embraces an area of six thousand acres and is the property of James W. -Tufts, of Boston, the soda water fountain manufacturer. Mr. Tufts has spent over three million dollars at Pinehurst and the work he has had in view is but commenced. No land is for sale. His idea is to make this a resort for invalid persons of moderate means. The cottages are of fine architecture, handsomely finished and have all the modern conveniences. They are furnished ready for house-keeping—bed and table linen excepted—and are rented at very reasonable prices. The water at this place is obtained from artesian wells and is almost absolutely pure. The village green consists of twelve acres in the heart of the town and tbis is surrounded by tbe choicest of shrubbery and flowers. No liquors are sold on the premises and no extortion is permitted. Everything Continued on fourth page. —A few weeks ago the editor was taken with a very severe cold that caused him to be in a most miserable condition. It was undoubtedly a bad case oi la grippe and recognizing it as dangerous he took immediate steps to bring about a speedy cure. From the advertisement of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and the many good recommendations included therein, we concluded to make a first trial of the medicine. To say that it was satisfactory in its results, is putting it very mildly, indeed. It acted like magic and the result was a speedy and permanent care. We have no hesitancy in recommeding this excellent Cough Remedy to anyone afflicted with a cough or cold in an/ form,— The Banner of Liberty, Liberty* town, Maryland.

A. W. GREENWOOD, Superintendent, The Members of the Juniata Valley Editorial Association Oo Sight Seeing. Monday, Ootober4th, the editors of the Juniata valley, accompanied by their ladies, started on a trip to the Sunny South. The journey to Harrisburg was made by different routes but most of the party reached that city on Sea Shore express. From the Capitol oity to Chambersburg the excursionists were chaperoned by Ed Burns.of Hagerstown,traveling agent of the Cumberland Valley railroad. Mr. Burns is a bureau of information as well as a traveling agent and this isn't the first time the Juniata Valley editors have had the pleasure of his company on such trips. He is a whole-souled genial gentleman whom it is a pleasure to greet. His quiet business manner impresses one with the fact that business is his pleasure. At Chambersburg the party was met by Hon. J. Nevin Pomeroy, of the Repository, and Hon. M. A. Foltz and son, of Public Opinion, and escorted to the waiting train of the Western Maryland road. These gentlemen hoped the editors would find it convenient to tarry at Chambersburg on their return trip in order that the people of the chief town of our neighboring county might have opportunity to extend hospitality to the party. This hospitality was necessarily but regretfully declined. The journey from Chambersburg to Gettysburg over the Western Maryland road, popularly known as "Thaddeus Stevens' Tape Worm'* was delightful. As a traveler approaches the summit of the South mountain at Pen-mar there spreads before him a panorama which beggars description. The fertile Cumberland valley—full forty miles wide—with its well tilled soil, cozy farm buildings, herds of choicest cattle, and dotted here and there a village or town with its busy hives of industry, presents a sight whioh any one might travel many weary miles to view with profit. One of the party exolaimed as he gazed upon tins soene, ''Little wonder that Lee's soldiers were eager for an advance into Pennsylvania when they feasted their eyes upon suoh a sight." At Edgetnont baskets of the ohoioest peaches of that section were brought aboard the tram and eagerly did the members of the party purchase and deyour the delicious fruit. Here we found chestnuts under cultivation—a new sight to most of us —and it is evidently a profitable business. The burrs were full four times as large as those we have in this seotion and we were told that the nuts have a finer flavor than those grown wild. Gettysburg was reached early in the afternoon and the party became the guests of the Gettysburg Electrio road and was escorted over the famous battle field by officers of the oompany and under the guidance of Prof. Hankey. In the evening Capt. James T. Long gave a vivid description of the battle at the Gettysburg House. After Capt. Long's leoture a hop was given in the hotel dining room whioh was participated in by a number of the excursionists. Guyon H. Buehler, of tbe Star and Sentinel, spared no pains to make the stop at Gettysburg a pleasant one. Here we met James Booher, formerly of Cromwell township, to whom we are indebted for many courtesies. Early Tuesday* morning the party boarded the speoial car provided by tho Western Maryland officials and oontinued their journey to Baltimore. In the Monumental oity it was "go as you please" and the party, divided into squads of from two to I six and spent the afternoon in sight seeing, visiting friends and transacting business. Druid Hill park seemed to be the favorite objective point of many of the squads* At this oity the editor had the pleasure of meeting A. Parlett Lloyd, Esq., witb whom he at one time roomed at Williamsport Dickinson Seminary. Mr. Lloyd is a prominent attorney at the Baltimore bar and is the author of at least two legal text books which are considered excellent authorities throughout the land on tht subjects of which they treat, Mr. Lloyd spent a short time with us and placed us under obligations to him in pointing out places of interest and giving us valuable information. Among the places to whioh be piloted us was St. Paul's (Catholic) cathedral where we viewed two fine oil paintings presented to the diocese of Baltimore by Louis XVIII. of Franoe. In the evening we boarded the Old Bay Line steamer, "Georgia," at the Union Dook. Here we were met by Frank A, Heywood, editor of Southern Progress, of Philadelphia, who during our further journey south was to be our guide. ■ He it was who had plauned the trip and made the arrangements for our reception in the places to be visited. It didn't require five minutes acquaintance with him to satisfy one that he had all the preliminaries as well as the details thoroughly under oontrol, and that any party under his guidance would have a good time. On board also were Murray Forbes, of Portsmouth, traveling passenger agent of the Seaboard Air Line and Joseph Strang, of Boston, New England passenger agent of the same company. We found these gentlemen valuable acquisitions to our party. The voyage down the Chesapeake Bay in one of the palatial steamers ot the Old Bay Line is one long to be remembered. Early Wednesday morning we were landed at Old Point Comfort, par- took of an elegant breakfast at the Hygeia Hotel and made hurried visits to Fortress Monroe—the most formidable fortification in the United States—the Hampton Industrial School and the Soldiers' Home. At 11 o'olook we took passage on the steamer Luray for Norfolk. The route was over the Hampton Boads where occurred the famous battle between the Monitor and Merrimac. Arriving at Norfolk we took dinner at the New Atlantio after which we were tendered and accepted a trip to Virginia Beach, eighteen miles eastward, by the officials of the Norfolk, Virginia Beach and Southern Bailroad. Virginia Beach is a popular resort where tbere is fine bathing from the middle of April to the middle of November. The beach is not quite as fine as at eome of the New Jersey resorts but being more diversified is possibly more attractive. The Princess Anne hotel with a capacity of 300 guests is finely furnished and presents an inviting appearance. The waves of old ooean seemed to bid a welcome to our party but most all Something; to Know. It may be worth something to know that the very best medioine for restoring the tired out nervous system to a healthy vigor is Eleotrio Bitters. This medicine is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone to the nerve centres iu the stomach, gently stimulates the Liver and Kidneys, and aids these organs in throwing off impurities in the blood. Eleotrio Bitters improves the appetite, aids digestion, and is pronounced by those who have tried it as the very best blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for 50c or $1.00 per bottle at B. O'Connor & Sons;' lacked the fortitude to breast the breakers. The editors of the Item and the Huntingdon Globe, however, couldn't resist her blandishments and plunged in. A few others followed and enjoyed an October bath. Returning to Norfolk supper was served at the New Atlantic after which we crossed the ferry to Portsmouth where we found three tourists' sleeping oars placed at our dis* posal by the officials of the Seaboard Air Line. These we boarded and started on the journey to Charlotte, N. 0., which city was reaohed Thursday morning. A line of carriages were in waiting to convey the excursionists to the Central Hotel where breakfast was served. After breakfast we were escorted to the pleasant rooms of the Southern Manufacturers' Olub where liquid refreshments were served in abundance. After introduction and a cordial weloome by the mayor the entire party waa again summoned to the carriages and driven about the oity, through the park and to some of the manufacturing establishments. Charlotte is known as the "Queen City of the Carolinas." Itis a busy industrial oentre, and has modern improvements. It is a very old city and the oounty seat of Meoklenburg county. Here it v.as that the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence was promulgated May 20,1775, more than a year prior to the Declaration of the Continental Congress. The wording and spirit of the Mecklenburg Declaration were much the same as that afterwards adopted at Philadelphia. The Louise cotton mills were visited. This is one ofthe repent industries of the Queen oity and it is a complete plant having thirteen thousand spindles and four hundred looms. The oity has six of these mills and and also hosiery, towel, olothing, sash cord and other factories. There are in all forty-five establishments in the oity of Charlotte in which skilled labor is employed. The population of the oity in 1890 was 12,000 while five years later the population had increased to 19,800. One of the great industries of the piaoe is the Charlotte Oil and Fertilizing Company. Of this and the cotton industry of the vioinity we shall speak in another issue of the Item. Thursday evening a reception was tendered the editorial party at the home of the Southern Manufacturers' Club. H. S. Ghadwiok, president of the club, was master of oeremonies, in whioh he was a< y ass st- ed by his handsome and charming wife. Mr. Ghadwiok is a native of Vermont and Mrs. Ohadwick of New Tork. Among the entertainers were other handsome women whose names have slipped our memory but their hospitality will not be. forgotten. After some hours in sooial inter-, oourse an exchange of greetings took place. Remarks were made by Pres. Ohadwick, G. H. Maoklin, Gapt. Mortimer, Dr. Brumbaugh, Capt. Watts and Tom Harter. At 5.10 Friday morning we bade good-bye to Charlotte and started on the return trip. ' Tbe first stop was at Hamlet for breakfast. Twenty minutes were allowed for this meal aud when we stepped from tbe train it was the general conclusion that five minutes were sufficient for a party of hungry Yankees to olean out all the provisions in the unpretentious place, but when we entered the dining room we regretted that we hadn't at least an hour for the meal. We have eat- Yon can't alford to risk yonr life by allowing a oold to develop into pneumonia er consumption, Instaut relief and a certain care are afforded by One Minute C'oiiglvCure, A. B, Gillam aud J, O. Heaton. en our meals in several states and at some of the finest hotels in our large cities but permit an humble country editor to set it down that never has he eaten at a railroad or other dining room a better breakfast than was served" us in the S. A. L. dining room at Hamlet. The cuisine was perfeot and the service complete. If any of our readers travel in that neighborhood we advise them to plan their route so as to take a meal at Hamlet. Friday morning we reaohed Southern Fines and registered at the Ozone hotel. Southern Pines is a comparatively new town, and has no industrial establishments. It is a health resort, and has good hotels, chief of which is Piney Woods Inn situated on a commanding eminence back of the town. This hotel is not open to the public except during the winter months. Since its erection every season bas found it filled with guests from the north whose constitutions are suoh that they oannot stand the rigors of northern winters. Most ot the residents of Southern Pines are from the north and they are energetic people. The olimate of this region is mild, the air is light and so healthy is the place that in the twelve years the town has had an existence bnt two graves have been dug in the oemetery and the occupant of one of these is a native. In the afternoon the excursionists accepted an invitation to visit Pine- hurst, six miles distant, and oonneoted witb Southern Pines by a trolley road. On the way we passed through the famous Van Lindley fruit farm which covers an area of oyer six hundred aores, over fonr hundred of whioh is planted in peach trees. Twenty-eight thousand crates of peaches were shipped to the New Tork market alone this season. Pinehurst is a new place, the first moye towards starting the town having been made but two years ago. In that time a complete sewerage system, water works, eleotrio light plant, magnificent hotels, casino, school building, store room and several cottages have been built. Pinehurst embraces an area of six thousand acres and is the property of James W. -Tufts, of Boston, the soda water fountain manufacturer. Mr. Tufts has spent over three million dollars at Pinehurst and the work he has had in view is but commenced. No land is for sale. His idea is to make this a resort for invalid persons of moderate means. The cottages are of fine architecture, handsomely finished and have all the modern conveniences. They are furnished ready for house-keeping—bed and table linen excepted—and are rented at very reasonable prices. The water at this place is obtained from artesian wells and is almost absolutely pure. The village green consists of twelve acres in the heart of the town and tbis is surrounded by tbe choicest of shrubbery and flowers. No liquors are sold on the premises and no extortion is permitted. Everything Continued on fourth page. —A few weeks ago the editor was taken with a very severe cold that caused him to be in a most miserable condition. It was undoubtedly a bad case oi la grippe and recognizing it as dangerous he took immediate steps to bring about a speedy cure. From the advertisement of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and the many good recommendations included therein, we concluded to make a first trial of the medicine. To say that it was satisfactory in its results, is putting it very mildly, indeed. It acted like magic and the result was a speedy and permanent care. We have no hesitancy in recommeding this excellent Cough Remedy to anyone afflicted with a cough or cold in an/ form,— The Banner of Liberty, Liberty* town, Maryland.
