The ladies of the Baptist church gave a strawberry feast on Thursday evening, June 14th, at the Academy. Strawberries, strawberry—cream, lemons, lemonade, cake, in short, everything that the taste and fancy of man could desire was here to extract from his dilapidated trowser pockets the last ragged greenback. As a majority of waiters and saleswomen were the youth and beauty of Blacksburg and vicinity, this last greenback went with great cheerfulness, and the deserving ladies cleared a handsome profit.
