	OLIVE BRANCH is the next station on this level stretch (Ashton Post Office). The aspect is now pastoral and peaceful. The wayside marsh is thickly dotted with wild plants and flowers, especially iris and lilies, which bloom in succession during the summer, presenting an attractive variety of floral beauty, tempting plant lovers from the train at times. The region here is supplied with many modest boarding houses where one may revel in the air of the foothills with great informality and at low rates. Temple Pond is an aquatic attraction, lying at the foot of Big Toinje Mountain, about one hundred feet above the station. It covers about one hundre'd acres normally and affords boating and fishing facilities.
