Springs
We have three fine watering places in Montgomery county. The Yellow Sulphur nearest the College, is one of the most delightful among them
The proprietors are very kind and polite to their guests; they do all in their power to make their visitors feel at home.
The water and fare are certainly delightful. I have no hesitancy in saying, that if any one wishes to come to the mountains of Virginia for health and pleasure, the Yellow Sulphur Springs is the place to come to.
To show that they spare no pains in entertaining their guests; a party of ladies and gentlemen from Blacksburg, went there a few evenings ago and though late in getting there, immediately on arriving the ball room was ordered to be lighted and music to be brought.
Of course in a few minutes the young people were dancing, and continued to do so until one and a half o'clock. Next morning the party returned to town highly delighted with the accomplished proprietress, Mrs Capt. Wade, who made herself so agreeable to every one on the occasion. C. A. S
At the White Sulphur Springs, Memorial Day was a complete success.
Parts of Co. A and B, formed into one Company, under the command of Capt. M. F. Brown, and marched to the Springs, and, by a good drill, won many flattering compliments from the assembly.
The portion of students who rode there and did not drill, received a compliment from Gen. Preston, which was characteristic of that old soldier.
He said it was "d— poor militia that had to be hauled about in ambulances."
