Flying Trip of Lancastrian
Through the Shenandoah Valley.

l recently had the pleasure of
making flying trip through the
Shenandoah Valley in tho western
part Of the State of Virginia,
stopping off at Roanoke and Salem,
Virginia, and perhaps a brief
description of the same would not
be uninteresting to the readers of
your paper,
Roanoke is city of $4,000
inhabitants, situated on the
Roanoke River, between the Blue
Ridge on the east and the ALE,
ghany Mountains on the west.
The climate is healthful and in
vigerating. In winter it is cold
but free from blizzards so com.
mon in the north; in summer it
is mild and salubrious. The sani
tary condition of the city is all
that could be desired. The great
natural attractions in this place,
which make it of 80 much interest
to the world at large, are the
Crystal Springs and the noun
tains which almost surround the
same. The Crystal Springs COM
prises two springs, one limestone
and the other freestone, in about
Eve steps of each other, which
flow from the foot of Mill Noun
tain, a spur Of the Blue Ridge.
These two little springs, not more
than two feet across, feed to large
lakes II the same park, and the
supply Of water seems to be in
exhaustible. The water is as clear
as a crystal from the time it leaves
the springs and passes into the
lakes, until it mingles with the
turbid waters of the Roanoke
River, hence its name, this clear
ness not being affected at all by
rainy weather. These springs are
. great resort for summer visitors
and the city is always full Of these
pleasure sookers in the summer
and spring. These springs can be
easily reached in fifteen minutes
from the city by electric car,
which passes right by the same.
The other attraction here is the
mountains. Mill Mountain is
situated at the head of the Crys-
tai Springs, just on the eastern
edge of the city, and rises many
hundred feet above the surround.
ing country. Good roads have
been graded around the same and
q pavilion, observatory and other
amusement places mark the sum-
NIT, which is great rendezvous
ing place for picnics aud pleasure
parties in the springtime, when
the mountain is covered with her
verdure Of green. The Blue
Ridge Mountains run along the
eastern edge of the city, while
the Allegheny are some miles
distant on tho west, both of which
lend enchanting scenes to be
viewed and admired by all who
are SO fortunate as to behold them.
The Virginia College for young
ladies is situated on the eastern
edge of this place at the foot of
the Blue Ridge and is surrounded
on all sides by everything that
makes up an attractive and com

stand in the midst of this old

impressed with the omnipotent

how Insignificant and perfectly

the Allegheny. AS is we'll known,
this is one of the oldest colleges
in our country and is noted also
for it's fine library, where you
will find great many curiosities
in the way of ancient publications..
This is one of the most attracti ye
features of the Roanoke College
and is the pride of tae same. The
grounds are also beautifully laid
off and enclosed, the backgrounds
extend to the foot of the noun

very inspiring.
