/ 1nlS is one OF the most Suhetantlal
and pleasant homes of the many
summer hostelries of the town, and is
conducted by Mayor +. F. Droege
and presided o ;er by his accomplish
ed wife, whose genial bearing toward
her guests brings scores of patrons
year after year from New York, Bal
timore, Washington and other cities
of the east and west, and also from
Europe. But | wish to speak of Mr..
Tanbell, the first guest of this resort.
He is a brother of Prof. F. b. Tarbell,
of Chicago, ILL.,, and prominent in
educational work in that great Yves
tern City and a contributor to many
of the leading periodicals of this coun-
try. Mr.. Tarbell is one of the leading
photographers of this country, as a
visit TO his studio and an examination
of his skilled work in this art will
prove to the most artistic eye. His
many views from all parts of this
country, both North and South, attest
his efficiency as landscape photog-
rapher and an expert in his line. He
will take pleasure in showing you as
he has the writer, specimens of skill
and with the privilege of your space
would like to call the attention to
scenes such as the dining room of Prof.
Tarbell referred to above and the
home of George W. Vanderbilt, at
Biltmore in North Carolina, Girl and
Kitten, General Sherman's head
quarters in Savannah, Ga, and hun
dreds of other and more fam Gus
scenes of Civil war times, but space
forbids.
Mr.. George Marley, who made
such narrow escape from deaf h last
week as noted in your columns, has
with his usual English tenacity, pur-
chased a new wagon and harness and
with the horse which by some mys-
FERROUS circumstance saved his life,
hired another horse and continued
his contract on the stone work of
Mr.. Walter Engle's new residence
and this morning it is complete and
the contractor Mr. VIM. b. Miller,
says it is the best stone work in the
town. We congratulate Mr. Marley
and also Mr.. Clark who did the i'm
ishing work on the masonary.

and other points of interest.
Rev. Mr.. Faust, of the Baptist
church is located here for the summer
and will preach to his people, both
here and Thayerville and other places
where he feels that he may accomp-
lish some good. This young minister
is from Georgia and bids fair to be a
credit to the church of his choice.
Mr.. John Feltv Jr, wife and little
daughter, of your place visited friends
and relatives last Sunday at this
place. We soon found the young
Miss Marion attracted more attention
from the aunts and relations than
either father or mother, but to the
parents we say come again"
