For Your Summer Outing.

One Of the most delightful sections oil
the country in which to pass the hot sum-
mer days is the famous mountain region
Of the Virginias, on the line OF the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railway. No rail line in
the United States can offer to the pleasure
aud health seekers SO great variety of at :
fractions. Worldwide Is the reputation
of such resorts as the Virginia Hot
Springs, the Warm Springs, the Greenbri.
er White Sulphur Springs,the Red Sulphur
and the Rockbridge Alum Springs. Be-
sides these resorts for health and pleasure,
there are hundreds of country homes in
the mountain region where board can be
obtained on the most favorable terms.
Thefeople along the line of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio have made the care of The
summer boarder special business, aud it
IL safe TO say one can secure better accom-
modations with them than in any part OF
the country.
The scenery on the Chesapeake and Ohio
is grand without being austere. Gentle
streams flow through messy banks and
over gravel beds, long vistas open
through the rolling masses of hills, and
Delightful glades invite to
rest, and one may walk or ride with per- !
feet comfort in all directions. The climate
is equal. the days being mildly warm,
tempered by cool evenings and nights.
One does not experience great degrees of
either heat or cold and there is always
he feeling of energy aud buoyancy that
he rare mountain air inspires. There is
zone and exhiliratiOn in the atmosphere
Turing even the warmest season, and per.
ons who are listless at home are surprised
o find themselves taking keen delight in
ong mountain walks, or in riding or driv-
ne for miles over mountain roads. De-
criptive matter, with rates and general
