Letus glance at what is before the
public for the coming season; we re.
fer, of couF9e, only what is imme-
diately connected with us, First,
there is the hotel at Round Knob,
with its elegant accommodations, its
good fare, its marvellous surrounds
ings, and It's wonderful fountain
Next, on this side ofthe mountains,
and not far from the Swannanoa
tunnel, is the Mount Mitchell hotel
al, Black ,Momt@in station, q beau-
tiful building, now completed, Very
different from what it was at its
opening last summer, ample for the
accommodation of two or more hum
dred guests, and no doubt to be kept
in good style; and with the. grand
scenery surrounding it, one of the
most fascinating resorts in the noun
tains, Here, at AsheYille, will be
the added accommodations of the
hotel on Battery Porter, q location
for a city hotel without an equal in
the United States for extent and
beauty of prospect, and for its cqm-
plete isolation in the midst of pop
ulous community. Down the river
at Alexantlcr's, is the we'll known
house, popular for.nlore than half
century, now with its large addi-.
tions, more capacious and capable
than ever. Then at Warm Springs,
a new building will be ready by the
first of June, which will not only do.
credit to the builders, but restore to
the Warm Springs the national fame
interrupted only by its calamitous-
destruction. Then the singalarly
beautiful resort at Waynesville, the
White Sulphur Springs, will, at the
same time, be restored to the devo-
tees of health and pleasure, in q
style somewhat in character with
the natural features of the location.
These are only few of tho prom

the Most charming hotel and
grounds at Arden Park, now made
accessible by railroads we might
go into Webster, or Franklin, and
find there good Accommodations for
the summer guests; and we could
not direct these amiss to send them
to our beautiful neighbortowns Hens

quite so large as cur friends th2al@

will always secure a large and much.

hotels and boarding houses, except
to add that they will put themselves
abreast with the most ambitious and
earn the laurels of the most deser9-
