Fork UNION, August II, 1890.
The yard party that took place August
14th in the grove around the Fork Baptist
church was a most pleasing affair. Fork
Union is a typical Virginia village with its
stores, church, factories. post-ofiice, black
smith shop. and graded school. The peo-
ple in and around it retain much of the
hospitality of the olden type. and there is
scarcely home in which are not found
city cousins and friends luxuriating in
easy home comforts and pleasures. Rich
mond people especially love to frequent
four hours ride.

TIKI MUSIC.
The Forks-church choir, which has long
since become famous for its good music,
rendered some exquisite numbers, and the
Misses Snead. Perkins, Gay. Mrs. Daniel,
and Others well sustained their regulation as
vocalsts. The open-air concert given by
the Fork Union Glee Club was. perhaps, the
best Of all. Familiar airs were rendered
by them with charming effect and to the
