beeATieN.
Judson College is located in Hendersonville, and can be
reached from midland and eastern North Carolina and
from the south by railroad via Spartanburg, S. C. Those
coming over the Western North Carolina Railroad, either
from the east or west, leave the railroad at the Swannanoa
depot, near Asheville, and are conveyed across the coun-
try, a distance of eighteen miles, to the College by a reg-
ular line of hacks.
Of Hendersonville a fascinating writer has said :
" From the valley of the upper French Broad, a plateau
rises, by gentle gradations, to where the Blue Ridge, ab.
ruptly swerving from its south-westerly course, shoots far
away to the westward. The higher peaks suddenly dis.
appear, and for a space of several miles, the traveler only
knows that he has passed the Ridge by finding the stream-
lets flowing in the opposite direction. On either hand^
giant mountain buttresses guard this lovely table-land.
It is diversified by here and there a wandering ridge or
isolated park, off-shoots of the surrounding mountains,
while far to the westward the mighty Balsam and the con-
ical peak of Pisgah, melting in ever-varying hues against
the evening sky, teem with a wealth of such glorious sun-
set effects as few landscapes on earth can afford.
" In the midst of this magnificent panorama, like a to-
paz in emerald setting, lies Hendersonville. It is the
pearl of mountain towns. Its deep foundations are not
laid in fathomless red-clay mud ; its soil is a natural filter
of gravel and micaceous sand, and in an hour or two after
a shower, slippered ladies walk its broad, aspen-shaded
streets in comfort. And in the bosom of that granitic
soil, what wells of limpid coolness! If water can be purer
20
Catalogue of Judson College.
than this, it is certainly the less delicious for its purity.
Ice can be had, but after a glass of ice-water, you go to
the well for a drink.
" And what breezes here do blow ! Not a particle of
miasma, but heaven's own elixir of life, up here 2,252 feet
above the sea.
" And what nights for sleep ! You always need a blanket
or two in mid-summer."
