SALE OF STRIBLlNG SPRINGS. is rumor-
ed that this famous summer resort has been
purchased by Mr.. R. N. Pool, representing a
number of Pennsylvania parties, at the price
of $4,000. 1t is the design of the purchasers
we understand, to materially improve the
place, and to this end landscape gardener
and architect will soon be on the property
with view to the Identification of the
grounds, and erection of handsome and sub
stantial buildings.
The property is cheap at the price named,
for there is no place in the mountains of Vir-
ginia with greater attractions in locality, beau
ty of scenery, variety of water, and general
desirability. This season as many as forty
guests have been turned away in single day,
owing to the insufficiency of accommodations
1t will be gratifying to the springs going
public to learn that Mr.. Chesley Kinney, the
present popular proprietor and most genial of
hosts, will probably accept the position of SUI
perintendent under the new management.
