The picnic at the White Sulphur
Spring was quite success. People
were there from all points of Bath
and every one seemed to have a
good time. Dancing by the young
people was kept up until a late
hour. The rain was the only thing
which interfered with ones pleasure,
several heavy showers falling in the
afternoon.

We see a great deal printed in
the newspapers of adjoining coun-
ties about the new railroad that is to
come into this "uninhabited wilder
ness" according to these newspa-
per correspondents, and bring life,
liberty and happiness to the few
benighted inhabitants thereof. This
road is to be engineered by the well
known w. C. Craig, of Deerfeld,
assisted financially by W. D, Stokes
of New York. The railroad fever
has been so often reported in this
part of the country and has never
materialized that one is naturally
inclined to be rather -skeptical con-
corning it. When the last rail is
laid and the first engine is run, we
may believe we have railroad.
Mrs. j. H. Marshall entertained
a fishing party last week, consist
ing of Mr.. Devenner, wife, child,

to take summer visitors this sea-
son. All who enjoy fishing, hunt
ing and boating will find this
pleasant spot in which to spend the
hot days OF summer. NJ
