CONJUNCTION, VA. August 15-Braclng
mountain breesea have made the past
week one OF unbroken enjoyment for the
guests OF the 1ntermont, so far as climate
conditlons are concerned. Added to tho
natural advantages, which make this ono
Of the most favored sections Of the State
the management Of this popular hotoi
has done, and Is doing, all possible for tho
comfort and pleasure OF the many So
journers here.
Every train brings patrons to the In
termont. Some for n stay Of days or
hours; others to settle down for the sum
mer. This constant change brings an
air OF life and hustle most agreeable.
Although Covington Is situated In the
midst Of the mountains, and ono would
naturally suppose the surrounding roads
to be rough and hllly yet there are some
OF the most beautiful drives near here
to be found anywhere. and this Is a
favorlte form OF diversion. an excellent
livery stable being near at hand.
BRILLIANT AT NIGHT.
At night the 1nternont presents bril-
liant appearance, illuminated by electric
Lights and with strains OF merry music
issuing from the ballroom. There are
many beautiful dancers among the young
people at the hotel, and this number is
regularly supplemented by the residents
OF covlngton. who flock nightly to tho
1ntermont
AS at all summer resorts cards are a
popular form Of amusement, and games
of :, tat av,f ha ont
siastic devotces.
Above all however this Is the place for
any one who desires rest and quiet.
Those who wish to can dance or play
cards, but there Is plenty of room in the
extensive verandas for all who love 10
sit In idleness, looking at the Blue Noun
taips, and enjoying the health-giving
brtezes.
Outwardly the Intermont Is one OF tho
most picturesque hotels In Virginia, and
1t Is one Of the most com Portable. Just
before Mr.. w. g. Hundley took charge Of
1t ewmonths ago, the owners expended
$15. 900 In, improvements. The result Is seen
Z in modern equipment, carpets. and furni-
ture.
The local market not being up to the
standard itlis necessary for supplies to be
secured In Richmond, Norfolk, Baltimore
and Cincinnati.
An excellent table is the result, the
preparation Of the food being all that
could be desired. Mr.. Hundley and his
charming wife well understand the art
OF nlnistering to the pleasures and conf
! forts OF their guests. 81
