Correspondence OF THE EVENING STAR.
THE PLAINS, FAUQUIER Co., Va, August s.
At a goodly altitude above the capital city,
situated on the Virginia Mi dland railroad, fifty
three miles distant from Washington, the So
journer finds all that he desires in the way of
rest and recreation from the heat and hustle of
the city. Located in valley and surrounded
by the mountains that wind their way through
this section of the Old Dominion it is especially
sought by the scenery-lovins people and those
in quest OF pure country air. Unlike many
other sections this neighborhood has
been blessed with copious rainfalls during the
growing season, and the crops, as q conse-
quence, are looking very fine and giving prom
Use of good yield. Every kind of vegetable
is ripe and abundant, but in keeping with the
general condition of this part of the country
the fruit season has proved failure-no apples,
peaches, pears or plums.
Tennis, lawn parties picnics, bush meetings
and other social entertainments are of frequent
occurrence and prove a source of enjoyment TO
the old and young.
Among the many people summering about
The Plains are the following from Washington:
Mr.. Jos. Will, Mrs. Alice Will, Miss Hutchings,
Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin Clarke. Mrs. Rosa Davis
and child, Mrs. Reeves, Mrs. Walk and three
children and Mr.. l.. s. Mortimer and family.
All speak in the highest terms of the situation
and the extremely agreeable and hospitable
people. Nj.
