Excursions
   The excursions gotten up by the Fredericksburg railroad company {Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac RR} to Ashland are becoming quite popular with those of our citizens who are anxious to take a day's recreation in the country. To add to the pleasures of the trip, our friend Perry has opened the hotel at Ashland, and is ready to accommodate all who may give him a call. He is one of the class that "know how to keep a hotel," and we vouch for it that his table will be supplied with the utmost that the country affords, while he will do his best to make his guests feel at home. An evening's or moring's ride, with a good meal at Ashland, at a reasonable price, is a great inducement in these times of scarcity.
