The excessively hot weather Of the last
month or so has not seemed to put a stop
to the amusements of the young people, for
the neighborhood has been unusually CAV
all summer. Many charming young ladies
from different sections of the country have
been visiting in our midst, and as there are
just now large number of young men in
the vicinity, they made it very gay for the
girls. Many river parties have taken place,
one nearly every week and several days have
been spent by our residents very protitably
in fishing for the willy bass. Prof Nelson
and wife have been visiting Mr. Reading, at
Hillcrest, and the Professor spent much time
on the river, and caught some fine fish

landing place opposite Sharp Shin, on the
Virginia shore, on the evening of Septem.

Griffith and her guests Mr.. aud Mrs. Bart.
lett, of Baltimore, Miss Birdie Griffith, of
Laytonsvile, and Miss Sallie Griffith, of
Beallsvlle, were among the number who
enjoyed most delightful evening.
The NJ. |. Club, not deferred by the
hot weather, has continued its meetings
during the summer. Miss Windsor, of
Jamestown, entertained the club on the
afternoon of August 23d. The evening was
a stormy one, so the attendance was small.
The President, however, braved the ee-
ments and presided over the meeting. The
Secretary being detained by the rain, no
minutes were read. The program was me-
cessarily a short one. Selections were read
by Mrs. Broome, Mrs. Nourse and Miss
Windsor. Dainty refreshments were served
by the Misses Windsor, and the club ad
journed to meet with Mrs. H @. Reading,
