BLUE RIDGE SPRINGS.
The First German of the Season.
Two Original Colonies.

RIUE RIDGE SPRINGS. VA, July %
Cspeclal)-It is very difficult under
taking to write an entirely satisfactory
letter from "the springs" There will be
some who think they could do a trine
better. others who think they should be
mentioned in connection with the little
incidents Of spring life. and still others
who say, II don't wish TO see my name
in the papers in any shape or form l
doubt the sincerity Of the last class. but
in the event of my failing to mention any
who are now here. I'll take refuge BENIN
this admirable suggestion.
We have two original and entertaining
colonies from Galveston, Tex. They have
both passed the three-score-and-ten line
in life's journey. and their minds as wen
as bodies are strong and vigorous, ana
both are retired lawyers. They possess
admirable qualifications for discussing the
all-absorbing topics OF the day. one Is
gold-standard advocate. while the other
asserts with equal positiveness his belel
i'm giving silver an equal chance with soia
at the minis Of our country.
Every few minutes | hear the tinkle!
tinkle, of the progressive euchre bell, I'M
mediately followed by dead silence, each
PLAYER intent on his or her best efforts 10
win one of the prizes.
The first german of the season was
danced last Friday night, and others VIII
follow every Friday until the season be-
gins to wane. Roanoke contributed large
iy to the success and bri!liancy Of the oc-
casion.
