WARM SULPHUR SPRINGS, August
! 3O.-Harvest moons have waxed and
waned in August, its days are passing
swiftly to their appointed end; soon we
shall awake to consciousness that the
! last has come and, so awaking, must
/ regretfully say: "Good-by, summer;
good-by." But while golden September
| remains and is yet to be lived through,
| we feel that much bloom and beauty,
/ much warmth and richness, still are ours
/ and will abide with us. We bask In the
| glorious sunshine and breathe in the
fragrance Of the flowers, and are de-
4 voutly thankful still, TO the great
Giver of these and all other like mercies.
At the Warm our summer sway still
| holds its own, and our summer circle Is
still unbroken. our past weeks record
must still chronicle an unbroken round
| of gayety and amusement, as much APP
preciated and as keenly enjoyed as when
il first began in June.
