J4H rrf&(4VW$i VOI XV-NEW SERIES NO. 131. NEW BEllNE, N. Q, WEDNESDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 1) 1896 ESTABLISHED a: BEVIES OF BRIDAL COUPLES. Haw Thy and lh People Enjoy l,ir at Old Point Comfort. - - Oli Point Comfort, Dec.,-7ih. Special Correspondence of the Journal. This is the time of year whoa .OH) Point Comfort puts on its most lionpita bleair, and its palatial hotels sheltei rest and pleasure seekers from all parlf of the country. Indeed, it. is doubtful if any other resort in America draws iu patrons from such on extensive terri tory. They come from. East,, West, North and South. And the bridal coup les! It seems as if this charming retreat was made specially for the newh wedded pairs who are just starting oui on the journey of life together, and ti . whom there is but qne world with twi in it. Well, . there is truly everything here to make the honeymoon a hoimj- moon indeed. As a rule the blissfi ) couples avoid the gay throng and seel IhT many sheltered nooks around the grim ramparts f Fortress Monroe when . they can squeeze hands and -look inl each other's eyes. You have to bo cure : ful when walking about Old Point Com fort, for the corners' are full of then, and you are liable to start them up as i dog does a covey of partridges. It's easy to tell 'em. The genial hotej clerks can "spot" them every time. Tin favorite bridal route is by way of tl.i Old Bay Line from Baltimore, becnuei : tbe trip down the Chesapeake is pt quietly delightful and pleasant no noW or bustle of the railroad. 80 when tit Alabama or Georgia reaches the docl here in the morning, the porters um "boys" are on the lookout for the newl; i married. The clerk knows just when to give them rooms and if you cai find any more luxurious or comfortable quarters than at the hotels here you wil have to look outside this country foi them. . They want a good breakfast too and quick, for these wedding tiipi somehow give the travelers a wonderful appetite so the waiters say. It's not ah aentiment by a long shot, and some 01 the little ladies in their dainty grci ' gowns will astonish you with their cap acity for the friod chicken, watllcs omelets, quail on toast and other deli cacies cooked and served so delicious; at the famous hostelries of Old Point. Speaking of gray, that reminds me thai most of the brides travel in gray. Occas ionally you see another color but nu. often. And the trunks they take 1 Some times there are four-or five just for oih little woman, hut she uses their 'contents; for if their is a time when a girl wishes t look attractive, isn't it on her weriilint trip? Of course It is and they know it. The prettiest ones must all come to Olc Point, for you seldom see bno who isn't what Chimmic Fadden calls Channel;) Depew, a "peach." It is generally sup . posed that every couple goes to one 0: three places on their weddiug trip Olt. Polpt, Washington or Niagara Falls, but the other places cannot come up to Ok. Point as a mccca fur the newly mated. Ii Is not an infrquent occurrence for near)) a hundred couples to be registered at tin , Chamberlin and the Ilygeiu at one time. ' They do so hate to leave, too. In fact many who have planned a trip to include other resorts find it is so truly Old Point Comfort that they change their minds ant, ' stay right here until the last minute, ant before they go away you often hear "littk wifey" say: "Now John or Charlie f , Henry (whatever the name may be), j want you to promiso that you will t-iikt .. me here a year from now when wo cele brate our first anniversary." . Aid 'oho does it, too. You see there are the dances and the delightful music of the hotel orchestras, the drills and the social events at tin fort, the many places such as the New port News shipyard, Hampton Institute, Norfolk, ' Portsmouth ' and the Navj Yard, the fine hunting near by, and tht . many pleasant acquaintances one formt ' among the elite southern people who . frequent Old Point. All these make tin variety necessary. , Old t oint is nevei monotonous. Then the enjoyable trip - up and down the Chesapeake by tht Baltimore Steam Packet Co's. Old Bay Line route is one of the features long tt be remembered with pleasure. .Thest - steamers . have elegantly appointee bridal staterooms, and have for a hah century earned nuptial pairs on then Journey in life together. . - THE COTTON MARKETS. ..;.' Decembers. Jamviby cotton opened la New York at . 7.80 and has had a declining tendency all day, finally closing at 7.14 the low est point touched for several monthi ' and net loss of 0 points -since yester- . Tiiuti Is a great fueling pf depression and Of 'general disappointment at such ' continued decline, , ;' . - It is a pleasure to note that Southern markets are reported steady from day to day, with a fair demand, and tht Liverpool market appears to be in perfectly healthy, state.' After the d cllne runs Its course llicro should be sharp reaction, and unless there Is much in the situation which is not on the sur- - face we are not very far from the turn ing point. . . . - New Bikns market, very firm at 6 to 6J , Yours truly, ' - J, E.
