Blue RIDGE SPRINGS. July Is, 1890;
Among the many beautiful places In the
mountains OF the Old Dominion none ex-
Gel tins queen of summer resorts on the
summit of tho Blue Ridge. Her guests
this season are gathered from New YORK
10 Texas and from Chicago TO Florida, ail
perfectly satisfied with themselves In
having chosen this spot in which TO pass
the summer. Among the Richmond peo-
pie here are Dir. James Caskie and wfee,
Mrs Palmer. DIR. Judkins, DIR. Lambeth
and family. Rev. Preston Nash and wiie
and Master Joseph Pope Nash, Dir. Hon-
man Allan, Mr.. Tinsley. and Mrs. i. l..
Alfriend and family. Governor Mckinney
and family and DIR. Minigcrode and family
are expected. Mr.. James I. Gray and
family have engaged rooms for this week.
Although the season is not at its full, the
hotels are crowded, and many persons seek
irg accommodations have 10 be refused.
CRUELTY TO THE cAS'T-GET-ALwAYs.
II may seem refinement OF cruelty TO
tell Of pleasures when at least for the
present your fellow beings must be denied
them, yet it must be said that for genuine
comfort, cool mountain breezes, delicious
mineral water. and the best table In the
mountains Blue Ridge surely carries the
banner. Notwithstanding is real lux
ury in the braclng atmosphere, and the ball
room is a safety-valve for the stored oxnii-
aration Of youth and middle age.
ROASoKE's PRIDE.
Roanoke sends her prettiest ladies and
most gallant beaux down here to the ger
mans. and the fair show that she makes
tells us that she has much TO be proud OF
beside corner lots and machine-shops.
Blue Ridge City has an inciplent real
estate boom. but il is not quite ripe. The
springs prove too strong an attraction Just
now. IL will possibly come to head IN
the fall. when the banquet hall and ball
room are deserted. The last two days
have been among the warmest in these
mountains, but no one has suffered. and
walking. riding, and bowling. parties have
not lost their attractions. Inc nights are
so delicIously cool and refreshing that one
cannot conceive Of the sweltering heat OF
the cities.
AN EFFICIENT CORPS.
Mr.. Brown is well seconded in his man.
agement by an efficient corps of clerks.
among whom are Master Walter Cabell and
Mr.. +. b. Wilkinson. Of Richmond. The
exuuisitely-kept dining-room, i suspect,
owes its attraction 10 the constant super
vision of the fair mistress OF the Blue
Ridge. Whoever il is behind the scenes
deserves and receives credit for an execu-
tive ability seldom found among those
who minister to the comforts of summer
guests. SUNDAY service, with good SER
mons and excellent singing, Is one of the
features of the season that give us home
feeling DR.. Lambeth and Rev. Mr.. Nash
have preached the last two Sundays.
Come up and see us enjoy ourselves.
A GERMAN.
A grand german is in progress here to-
night Twenty couples led by Mr. W. H..
Fry. Jr Nearly every southern State is
renresented. The lawn and buildings are
beautifully illuminated, and enjoyment
Telgns supreme. RICHMOND.
