OUR WEST VA. DOCTORS.


wrsros, May %, 1878.
Editou Intslissnoer.
On yesterday l happened to visit the
ancient but jolly old town Of Weston.
am neither q doctor o in any wise re.
lated to one, that 1 know Of; bet as .
friend Of the TNrELIIoEEtER, and q firm
believer in the good effects Of a mutual
interchange Of views among the pbysi'
clans Of the State, ! determined to remain
here during the session Of the State Med
ical Society, and endeayor to give to
your readers 8 synopsis Of the proceed
ings Of that body. But frat let me say q
word in behalf Of Weston and her PEG
pie; and in doing go, IRhall only pay q
lust tribute, and render unto CRsar the
things that are CRsar's. The town al
ways looks beautiful to me, but now.
when 1t Is clothed in all the grandeur Of
natures brightest garb, it Is worthy Of q
better puff" than / cang give Il. ItH
hospitable people, noted as they always
were, and Justly so, too, for their extreme
kindness and sociability, have lost none
Of the graces which have made the place
a sort Of an oasis in social life.
NO HOTEL BILLS 10 PAY.
Upon the arrival of the visiting ply.
sicians I discovered that quarters had
been selected for them. They had nc
hotel bills to pay; but q good old Virgil
MIA welcome awaited them, TO the effect
that the latch.string was always out; and
that the people would regard II rs q 10
yor il the doctors would make theii
homes with them. II strikes me, that L
tired and weary physician, who attends
these meetings In the interest OF the pub.
lilo health and benefit, pro bono pnblieo, and
for an interchange Of views looking To-
ward an Improvement in the practice o.
medicine, such a greeting would b.
enough TO carry them back 70 the days o.
the fathers, when hospitality was deem.
ed q duty, and not, as now, q means o.
making friepds for selfish purposes. The
town OF Weston and its people are ex-
Optional, and he must be q queer chap
indeed, who, after having once visited the
place, does not desire 10 renew his &C
quaintance. The proposed narrow guage
railroad will soon be completed and Their
Weston will take It's place US one Of the
first towns OF the State.
A number Of the physicians last nigh
visited the State Hospital for the Insane
where a sort Of informal reception wa
given them. It may not be amiss TO say
that Weston has a charming a set 0,
young ladies as the eyes Of man ever
gazed upon. Added TO their beauty, they
possess the charms Of good sense and cul'
tivation; and the bachelor portion oil the
medical fraternity who are here will Ions
remember with pleasure the charms o.
W%eston's fair diyinitles.
