WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, !
WEST VIRGINIA, 7
014I 1897 /
June 9th. 1861


MR.. EDITOR Some of your readers trust,
take sufficient interest in the mineral waters
OF the country, to make short communication
IN reference to them, acceptable to your col
umns.
The Rockbridge and Bath Alum, are both
open for the reception of company, and are pre-
pared to entertain to their full capacity. The
same may be said of the Warm, the Hot and
the Healing: The Sweet, the Salt, and the
Monroe led Sulphur, are all open Tor the re-
ceptlon OF company and are prepared to enter
tain largely. It is not intended I believe, to
open the Red Sweet this season.
Ihe White Sulphur, for more than half a
century the tavorite resort of the invalid, and
the elite OF society from every great section OF
our country, is now repaired from any damage
1t received during the war-has been reftted,
refurnlshed, economically reconstructed it YOU
please, and is now ready for the comfortable
accommodation of one thousand persons.
Even In the palmy days Of peace and plenty,
before the trump of war had sgnalled the con-
fusion and ruin that have overshadowed the
| country, the cold White did not look more
cheerful and beautiful than now. Indeed she
Is herself again, and continues to offer to her
visitors the same extensive and well shaded
laWns-the same smooth promenades-the
same elastic and life-inspiring atmosphere
the same gushing fountain of healing waters
that as regularly throws out its pristine quantl-
ty OF 80 gallons minute, as if no great revolu-
| ton had taken place to lessen its consumers.
| The fact Isl that the war desolating as it was
generally, did not occasion any very material
| damage to the White Sulphur property. The
defacing of few of the less important buildings
was ALL and this the skill of the Carpenter and
| Painter, under the guidance of the energetic
proprietors, has essentially cured.
The lessees of this property, the Messrs Pey-
ton are precisely the right men in the right
place. With a thorough knowledge of their
! business-with indomitable energy and great
urbanity, they are giving, and doubtless will
continue to give the most entire satisfaction to
all their visitors.
Rosenbargers celebrated String and Brass
Band of Baltimore, has, understand, beenen
gagged, and will reach here about the 9th Of

The Ball Room is being tastefally and beau
tifully decorated. So you perceive that the
claims of the light heart and slight fantastic
/ toe'' are not to be neglected. .,s- t.s
! The Rail Road Convention appointed to as
semble here on the 10th Of July, will hope, be
fully attended by delegates from the Valley and

soon as practicable, make out in alphabetical or

Augusta County Fair.

The County Court at its last term chose ten
citizens of the county to be Directors OF the
Augusta County Fair, as provided blythe Act
of Assembly passed last winter, and proceeded
to divide them by lot into five classes to go out
of Office annually as follows:
l. John B. Baldwin and Asher W. Hartman.
2. James Henderson and George I. Antrim.
3. J. Marshall McCue and Philip o. Palmer.
4. Saml B. Finley and James Walker.
S: VIM. A. Burke and VIM. M. Tate.
We learn that meeting of the Directory was
held on Saturday last, at which Col. John b.
Baldwin was elected President of the Fair and
Mai. Jed Hotchkiss, Secretary; and that COM
mittees were appointed, and other steps taken
= to put the enterprise at once in active opera
ton.
We understand that a committee has been
appointed to select and report suitable place
at which to hold the County Fair, and we shall
probably have some competition among the
different neighborhoods as we presume the 10
cation will to large extent depend upon the
advantages offered in the way OF suitable
grounds and reasonable prices. The neighbor-
hood of Staunton would naturally be preferred,
as the most central and convenient-but other
advantages may be offered which will go far to
overcome the claims of Staunton, and it be-
comes the inhabitants of the Metropolis to be
on the look out
The charter provides that where there shall
be one hundred and forty corporators contrib
uting one hundred dollars each to the perma-
nent endowment of the Fair-the whole man.
agement and control of it shall be taken from
the County Court, and given to the corporators.
The Directory have made arrangements to al
low five or even ten years credit upon the
amount required upon payment of the interest,
and portion of the principal each year, and
we have no doubt that the number Of corpora
tors required will be promptly found, so that
the first annual Fair will be held under the aus
pices and control of the corporators.
1t will be remembered that this is not mere
ly an Agricultural Society 1t is by the terms
of the charter ga corporation for the purpose Of
establishing and conducting fairs and other ec-
hibitions of the natural and Industrial products
Of AUGUSTA County, as q means Of deUeloplng
the resources of the County, and of promoting
enterprises, industry, economy and thrift among
the people"
We cannot doubt that such an enterprise will
meet with universal favor among our people,
and we anticipate such an active cooperation
of all industrial classes among us as will soon
make the Augusta County Fair matter of in
terest, pride and profit to the whole commu-
nifty.
