Especial to The Times Dispatchl
ORKNEY SPRINGS, VA, July d.
The excessive heat in tho cities must
have driven away innumerablc resi-
dents. judging from tho crowds which
have poured into this resort during tho
past week. The number of guests has
more than dobuled. and very many in
teresting and delightful people have
been added to the company.
When tho thermometer was ranging
up and down the nineties elsewhere
Orkney was enjoying "A temperature OF
20 or so degrees in the evenings, with
dcliciously cool nights
Among the many pleasant happenings
none has given more delight to tho
lovers OF the old resort than the dona-
ton and raising of a beautiful United
states flag. the gift OF Captain H. T.
flag raising ceremony consisted OF n
reading by Mrs. u. j. Titiow, Of Oman
| cock. Va, and an address by Judge
Newman. of Woodstock, n violin solo
and singing Of national airs.
The children ard young people were
delighted by rshmallow roast in
the huge roasters built upon the lawn.
The porter. bearing an enormous bun
! die of faggots. distributed one TO each
OF the party. and with tho flames leap
ing nigh and the marshmallows smell
ing good the fun began. The mailows
DR. Mar% Waters, OF Baltimore. has
succeeded in interesting the guests in
the Serbian cause. and delightful
concert and reading was given TO raise
voluntary gift for purchasing ma
terial for garments. The proceeds
amounted to such a tidy sum that the
stock Of tho village store was exhaust
ed and everybody is busly sewing on
garments for the destitute Serbians.
In a concert called The Advertising
Party the prize was won by Miss
Katherine Carter
The walks and drives around Orkney
are exquisite and none more so than
that on the crest of the Great North
Mountain.
The view is a complete panorama OF
the Virginia Valley on one side. and
the beautiful scenery OF West Virginia
on the other. There is no finer view in
the west-so say those who have
travelled much.
