Igellia, Jophrenti, Anastaphia, Cetrypa are
Valmanella.
Stopping also good hotel the Louisville Hotel
$2.50 per day. A better one near by "The Old Inn".
Left at 3 P.M. in Clarksville, Tenn.
The railroad first goes over the Georgian plains
and then through the low but rough hills of the Ohio
Valley. The a long ascent into the Mississippian
Strata. At Elginville Town we are in the St. Louis
and remain in it up to at least Darling Green by
a distance of 70 miles. Through this
country one sees small holes and but few rivers.
The climax of holes is about the Mammoth
cave Junction (there is 5 miles to the west). The
county is constantly of ad down and but
few of the hills have ponds of water. The
limestone is deeply dissected, the red earth is
deep as the fields are covered with it so
that stone walls are made of them.
Arrived at Clarksville at 9.30. Staying at
the Tulane. Cost especially good at $2.50 per day.
