The soda water season IL near at hand. 1t may
be said that 1t has already opened. and the time
for dispensing this delightful and universally
popular beverage commences this week. Sill
yer, steel, block-tin. glass and marble are the
materials from which science. artistic skill,
and ingenious minds have wrought into hand
some and healthful designs the apparatus and
ornaments which are employed in dispensing
Soda and Mineral waters. To be absolutely
assured that no corroding or impure influences
attach to the fixtures through which the cool
ing draueht is received. which the acids In the
syrups are calculated to produce, is what all de-
sire.

brated manufacturer OF Soda Water Fountains,
ment to examine the location and furnish a
design suitable for the store OF our city drug

adopted. and last week Mr.. MilIner placed it In
position where but few who pass by can re-
frain from pausing to examine the beautiful
fountain at the right window of the store. The
marble material is of three kinds. The face is
Of Genoa. the sides Belgian. and the slant roof
superstructure Bardiglio. with curved ridge
piece of Belgian adorned with tracery and
ornamental plate. The sub-lift plate which
screens the syrup-valves and goblets is of silver

uniquely arranged in the roof. The cylinder
coolers for the soda and coils for the other wa
tiers are all compactly arranged. The escutcheon

summit Of the fountain is lost to view in art
attraction and drapery with two full length
mirrors thanking lis sides. The large ornament

Messrs. Berkeley & Walters have placed this
fountainin position at very heavy expense.

be well sustained by their corps of young assis-
tants.-in rendering the "Moselle" worthy of
the city and to the delight of the crowds that

Death of Miss Lilly Hoffman.
A telegram received on the 18th inst, by the
friends of Miss Lilly Hoffman here. announced
her death on that day at Selma, Ala" Miss
Hoffman was educated in this place at the Va.
Female Institute. and has many sincerely at
tached friends here who will mourn her loss.-
She was general favorite, and won her way at
once to the hearts OF all who had the good
fortune to meet her. None who knew her can
ever forget her lovely disposition. her brilliant
conversational powers and her sweet and win
ming manners. She was endowed by native
with many rare gifts OF mind, and traits OF
character. She was one upon whom all eyes
rested in loving admiration. In every assem-
blage she adorned. Long will her memory be
green here where ''none knew her but to love,
none named her but to praise"
Among her many friends in Staunton no one
occupied SO tender place In Lilly Honman's
affection as her devoted friend Miss Annie Hen
dren. the late Mrs. VIM Patrick. Lovely and
pleasant in their lives, In their death they were
not divided. IA few weeks ago Miss Hoffman
had placed In Trinity Church here beautiful
memorial window to Mrs. Patrick. How little
we thought when this beautiful tribute to her
friends memory was received that they were SO
soon to be reunited, where the bond will never
again be severed,-wherefriends are made one
forever.
