We Il mean the Doctor and the Dispatch
correspondent had intended going to the
Warm, the Hot, the Healing. the White Sui
phur, and aLolt half dozen other places,
but the surprising attracliveness OF the VIC
tuals and females here renders 1t Impossible
for US to leave as soon as we expected. The
doctor is in imminent peril of matrimony,
but seems 10 make strenuous efforts (barrlng
the fact that he is with the girls all the tlme)
to escape it, and if he is successful vie will
concentrate at the White Sulphur about sat
urday night. sAA.
