from hay fever, malaria and mosqui-
toes, are the grounds of the assem-

acres of beautiful timbered land, on
the breezy SUBMITS of the Alleghany
mountains and on the main line of
the picturesque B. & o. r. r. One
hundred and twenty-five beautiful
cottages are scattered about the
grounds, occupied by leading people
from cities East and West. Two
commodious and we'll managed hotels
open their ample doors TO travellers
seeking rest and refreshment. Many
cottages are open to boarders at rea-
sonable rates. The auditorium is
attractive and admirably suited for
the purposes of its construction
