BLUE RIDGE SPRINGS, VA. July r..
The past week has been full Of interest
and enjoyment to the patrons or THIS
popular summer resort.
The Press Association Of Virginia bad
barely reached their homes bsior. the
knights of the Mortar and Pestie' COM
menced To arrive. For three days they
mingled pleasure with business as
adroitly as they can mix drugs. Iher
efforts for amusement and pleasure were
not confined to members Of the assoc
citation, but, with commendabie chaIltE'
they permitted the regular guests OF the
eprlnes to enter the contest for hand
some prizes. and as a result, the best
of feeling has been established.
Polk Miller. in his inimtable negro
dialect and song, with Mr.. j. q. Camm,
of Lynchburg, ON the mandolin, gave
a very enjoyable entertainment TUESDAY
night. Professor keaTfOOt, Of Martins
vile. gave an instructive lecture on the
possibilities of the newly-discovered
chemical light Wednesday night and
Thursday evening were given up 10
series OF interesting contests for various
handsome prizes.
This association OF pharmacists, In
its manifold relations TO the human race,
Is highly beneficial. Its object is TO secure
a careful and intelligent handling OF
drugs, and 10 shape legislative enact
ments governing the same.
The largest number Of guests here IRON
any one city is from Galveston, TEX
and a pleasant party IL Is. Among the
number l Will mention lady. whose
unselhsh and charitable character mas
won for her the soubriquet OF the presl-
dent Of the "Do-Al-the-Cood- lou-Cdn
Society" Her gentle manner and bril-
liant conversational powers. combined
with wonderful tact. would entitle her TO
n position as diplomat at any court.
Yet there Is nothing whatever about
her that suggests the idea of insincerlty,
which usually surrounds such a celebrity.
Another noticeable person Is an erect
old gentleman, whose frosted head would
Indicate his having passed by three
score and ten mile posts on the pilgrimage
OF life Yet his step and carriage are
those Of a youthful grenadier. Whether
in the ballroom. at the whist table, OF
on the promenade. he IS every lhch
cavalier in word and action.
The Bard OF Avon says: He VINO Is
last I'm the fray and first at the feast
makes a keen guest, but Il poor fighter.
l will change the foregoing 10 read as
follows: Colonel a. W. Spralght. OF Gal
weston. Tex Is first In the fray and first
at the feast, or he Is last in the ball
room and first at the breakfast table"
