We'll, we certainly extend our full sym
pathies to George and his sweetheart. 1t
was long and sad drive to Capon Road,
and George looks terribly broke up over
it this morning Tuesday, as he leaves for
White Sulphur Springs, Greenbrier coun-
ty, w. Va, on Thursday, and it will be
long three months to them both but we
hope that the bracipg mountain air and
sulphur water and the dellcacies of tho
table of this greatest of American summer
resorts will tend to soothe his aching
heart, and then, as he is the stenographer,
it will be an easy task to drop his dearest
few lines each mail. White Sulphur
Springs IS a delightful place to pass
happy honey moon, and we can't see why
George don't take the advantage Of this
opportunity and have no more partings
"Think on these things" George.
Well, the Shenandoah Amateurs Just
downed all the old sore heads and grum-
blers in "Ten Nights in a Bar Room" 1t
was perfect success in every particular
The door receipts we're about $500 gross
and to take everything in consideration
the Company deserve a marked degree Of
credit. There was never anything that
has ever been started here that has been
showered with 80 much cold water-even
a minister and would-be temperance al
lance gentleman and lecturer did every
thing in his power to discourage it, and
come of our people went so far as TO say
the building would break down, and that
the proceeds were for silk dresses for the
ladies. But tho Shenandoah Amateurs
are not made Of the kind of material that
falls at every puff OF wind. No, they have
the grit and backbone not TO be scored or
downed by any weight that may be
brought against them when they know
they are on tho right side. They have
promised to repeat the excellent drama
again 10 the near future, and they will
have a packed house whenever it may be,
notwithstanding old fogies.
