Everyone who has visited Coyner's
Springs this season is eager to admit
that nowhere among all the beautiful
pleasure resorts, which Dame Nature
has among her other beautiful blessing
bestowed on Southwest Virginia, is there

with one spring of healing water, the

chalybeato waters, all within sight Of

only say come and SEQ for yourselves.
But with this we would add, be sure that
your stay includes one OF the delightful
germans that every Friday night trans
form the ballroom here into veritable
fairyland. Lovely girls and handsome
men glide around and Irvine In and out
in graceful figures. each wearing, in
addition to an exquisite and becoming
costume, constant smile Of happiness s,
and we do not wonder who, with such
companions and dancing to such sweet
music could fail to be happy.
The german last Friday night was an
especially enjoyable one. and when at
last, as all good things do, it came to an
end, in the wee small hours of the morn.
