Description

A newspaper article of Daggers community news, which reads,

"Notes from Daggers.

We have had during the week some prominent guests at the Mountain Hall, among whom were Judge G. W. Atkinson and wife of Washington, D. C., who is ex-Governor of West Va., having served four years as governor of that state. He has also served four years in the United States Congress. He is now judge in the United States Court. They were here looking after the Daggers Springs property.

Mr. W. B. Bean, our genial and accommodating neighbor from Gala, Va., also spent the day at Daggers and kindly showed the Judge the property. Mr. Bean was well suited for this as he spent about fifteen years as proprietor of the hotel there.

Daggers Springs is a delightful place in the summer. There is not a more heathful [sic], nor quiet and restful place to be found any where. It would make an ideal summer home for people who want to take a rest.

Mr. G. E. Grief, wife, daughter, and son, also Miss Jenkins of Pittsburg, Pa., stopped over night at Mr. Hall, on their way from Natural Bridge to the Hot Springs.

Miss Sallie Crawford from Augusta county [sic], and Miss Mattie Hook visited Misses Daisy and Olivia Deisher last week.

Mr. Anbrey Houser made a flying trip to this town Saturday.

Mr. J. A. Deisher spent two days in Fincastle last week attending court.

Messrs. Lyle McClung and Frank Hannah were callers at Mt. Hall Sunday afternoon.

Mr. John Boyd, who has been spending the summer here, left for Cleveland, Ohio Friday.
