You thunder past the mighty Hawks Nest andalmost under the shade of the great Sewell andstanding over you is the great cliff of the SouthSide Thus on for one hundred miles you jour-ney through a mighty cleft in the very bosom ofthe earth, wrought in the countless ages past bythe beautiful river that wends its way over thun-dering waterfalls and great bowlders, now lashingitself to fury in a narrow channel, and anon spread-ing its waters upon the pellucid surface of its quiet. ^ On the Way to the White Sulphur 25 bed. Then you swiftly pass through the sweetnessof the Greenbrier country,—with its crownedmountains, its fertile fields, its fat cattle and pros-perous people, its springs, its clear streams, its bluegrass, its limestone hills, and its splendid men andwomen,—to where the open portals of the famousGreenbrier and the historic White welcome youto their health-giving waters, their sunlight, andtheir repose.
