2S-The number of guests now at
yellow Sulphur considerably exceeds
of the place on like date. and the
bookings for August. generally ac-
counted as the banner month of the
summer resorts, are very substantial.
"A few days of sunshine after
the prolonged wet weather has
given an added zest to out
door recreations. and riding or
driving parties to Blacksburg, Chris
tiansburg or the "Old White Sulphur
are becoming popular.
1t is of interest to note that among
the guests here now are those of so
many different seasons, this natural
friendships that perhaps have lapsed
for time and an exchange of reml-
niscences that recall many happenings
of bygone days. Some have not been
here for several years, others have a
dozen successive seasons to their
credit, but there Is something about
the Yellow that tends to genial COM
radeship and makes the revival OF
broken ties and associations easy.
