The Season at White Sulphur
SpFlnHA ..

Inc season at White Sulphur
Springs.
The visitors hero this season are prin.
cipslly from the Northern States, though
nearly every State in the Union has one
or more representatives. In all there
are about twelve hundred at this time,
and the season Is said to be at Its zenith
This time last year there were about two
thousand. The fall of is accounted for
by the panic, which ia bearing heavier
upon the country at large than at any
period since September Of last year, when
1t began. In fact in the South and West,
except in the large cities. money cannot
be had at all, as your readers well know.
It cannot be attributed to anything else,
from the fact that the White Sulphur
Springs OF West Virginia are better adver.
tised and kept than at any time since the
war; and 1t Is generally admitted that 1t
is the hcalthiest and pleasantest locality
10 spend the hot summer months than at
any other point south Of Long Branch.
1t takes money to stay here any length Of
time, hence We infer that as there is but
little OF it in circulation the small nun.
Der of visitors here is accounted for.
