MILLBoRo, VA.
June 18th, 1880.
The season has fairly opened here as
well as at Other watering places in these
mountaiEs, and they are filling up rapidly.
The largest arrival at Millboro this sea-
son was oil some 40 persons who got off the
Eastern mail Saturday afternoon. Some
went to- the Millboro Hotel where there
are about forty visitors including Judge
Manning and family recently from Staun-
ton. Some went to the Jordan Alum six
miles and others to the Warm 16 miles
over the mountain. The Hot is four or
five miles further and the Healing now
under the new management of Mr.. Carter
Eubank, three miles from there.
There have been some substantial I'M
provements here this present year. Mr..
J. w. Warren has erected another neat
cottage in the grassy yard under the oaks
west of his main building which adds as
much to the appearance OF the pretty place
as it does to its CONVEX fence ard accom-
modations. a few hundred yards further
west, Mr.. VIM. Fl. Grigsby has built
| another neat, cosy-looKing cottage and not
far off, the Loyal Brothers are building a
large, comfortable dwelling. MillborO is
evidently not finished yet.
There is branch of the Windy Cove
| congregation here which worsbips IN the
Yarbrough- Hall, where "a 'urishing Sun
day school OF some sixty scholars meets.
| Windy Cove III connection with the Pres
| byterians here have extended call to Rev
| G. s. M. See, of Montery. 1t i; thought
he will accept A movement has been set
on foot to build a Psesb} tel ian church
| here and seven hundred dollars has been
subscribed for the purpose, q suitable site
| having been donated by u liberal citizen.
| The undertaking beng in the hands OF
| Jealous and energetic elder OF the congre-
| CATION, / think there is no doubt of its
| success.
Several prominent citizens are taking
| steps looking to the organization of d
Lodge Of Knights of Honor, and judging
frona the success met with the first day and
the vim with which everything here goes
ahead, they ought soon to be- ready to or
ganize. They expect to associate with
/ them in the organization the gentlemen at
Millboro Springs and New .lLlnore ,
| where there is some fine material.
Dr. Ii. G. Miller has been recently ell
gagged in a very commendable undertaking
the stocking of Cowpasture River near
this point with bass. He has caught ID
number with hook and line at Clifton
Forge, and at no little trouble conveyed
them to this stream. Some were full
grown and their increase MAY be expected
| at once and generations of fishermen yet
unborn will rise up aud call him blessed
when told Of the old Dr.. Miller who had
stocked the stream.
The Cincinnati ticket has aroused Demo
| cratic enthusiasm here to the sanguine
pitch. A gentleman, who was a member
of the recent Virginia convention, told me
that he had travelled on the train with three
Pennsylvanians last week, who said they
had been voting the Republican tick
ct for eighteen years, but they were
all going for Hancock and English and
Pennsylvania, would take him into the
| White House with a rush. This gentle.
man said his confidence in the success Of
| the ticket was inspired as much as any
| thing else by a cOnversatio had will
Judge Harris more than month ago a
the Richmond convention in which Mr.
| Il. said with much positiveness that Han.
COCK would be the m an the National Con
ventlon would settle upon and he would
be elected too. He says John 7. never has
missed in political guess and he will be
| right this time as usual.
