The Roanoke times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1897-1977, 1897-09-26

The rain during the week was most
welcome in spite OF the fact that it inter
fered with certain social arrangements.
A trolley.ride and small informal ger
man at Salem were given up and an en-
tertainment in the county was also post
poned. 1t is TO be regretted that the cold
weather is putting an end..to grass par
ties. The fall is sad season in some
respects when old nature crawls into its
hole with all is warmth and takes the
holesin alter it leaving poor moltals on
the outside with the chilly beasts and
"carried--over" overcoats. Yet there is
something cheerful in the smell of moth
bslls-possibly the sense that what we
had was worth packing away Or it may
be the feeling that we are going to fool
some one into thinking we have sprung
something new on them.
The german at the hotel on Tuesday
WAS declared by everyone to be the best
OF the season. 1t was more like "oid
times" than any given here for long
time. We can show our appreciation of
Mr.. Campbells hospitality in no better
way than by saying this: The music was
good, the floor was goou, the people we're
good to each other, and the toute ersem-
