some such plan, 20 that business men could leave
their families ut the Huguenot 10 the morning and
return to them In the evening, we have no doubt
that hundreds of families would spend their sum-
mers there instead OF at home or fn the mountains
of Virginia. The grounds around the "Huguenot'
might be made all that the eye could wish; and as
the waters are known to possess invaluable medi.
cinal qualities It is only necessary to provide pro-
per facilities for getting to and from them to induce
the public to patronise the Huguenot extensively.
Men of business cannot afford to hire buggies to
to the Huguenot very often in a season, and the
route by the railroad to Robious station and thence

great credit to the establishment In which it was
built, and the workmen employed in building it.
The tender to this locomotive is also splendid af

signs on it appropriate rejecting credit on the
artist who drew them, as well as upon the painter
who executed them.
