"GREEN HOLLOW".
-- In a recent journey a Herald
reporter chanced to visit the picturesque hamlet of
Green Hollow. It lies in what is generally known as
the Waubonsie Hills and rivals the grandeur of
Lover's Lane, Barefoot Nation or Slippery Elm
District which have been so graphically portrayed in
poetry and song.
Now is the time to visit this place, as later the season will force upon
it a more business like aspect and the vision will
not be so enchanting, as now dale meets forest and
the sweep of meadow land is broken by the darker
foliage, while here and there purpling shadows lie
dense and close, almost to the brink of the waters
that seem to catch every gleam of the sunlight
pouring down from joyous heaven.

Nothing seems to indicate change,yet all is variety and
no where can one feel so entirely, wholly and
undividedly an humble worshipper of nature as here.
Society is always flood tide and every assembly must be
ultra-fashionable, and also the drivers of rubber tired
buggies, have first choice of the belle and
occoasionally cupid cracks his whip.
It is here neighbors meet to exchange greeting, spend an hour in
recreation and divert their minds from ethical
meditation and, as Josh Billings would say:
"Gather round the
kitchen fire.
Pile the chunks on higher and higher.
Get out the old fiddle and partners choose.
And shake'er down in your cow hide shoes."
