BLOUNT SPRINGS. [ALA.l=

The undersigned, as Trustee, for the
parties interested, has the pleasure of an
nouncing to the public, that the Hotel at
Blount Springs viii be open for the recep-
ton Of visitors and boarders
Q" the Tenth day Of May, nert,g
under the supervision Of Mr.. Joseph Bon
durant, so fayorably known throughout
South Alabama, for his peculiar fitness
for management and direction of a public
house. Every thing that the most fasti-
dious can desire, viii be in readiness by
that time to render the Blount Springs a
delightful summer residence.
While the wants Of the sick and nfirm
will be particularly attended 10, the gay
and fashionable will find the sources of
amusement and pleasure SO numerous
and varied, that none need have their ap.
PetItes for enjoyment, paled by safety.
In addition to the many other amuse.
ments and pleasures provided for visitors,
the undersigned has procured the services
Tor the whole season, of an excellent
BAND OF MUSIC,
which, besides attending the even ing par
ties in the Saloon, will perform on the
green at such hours as will be most agree.
able to the boarders.
The Undersigned, need scarcely re.
mind the public that there is a great va.
riety of Mineral Waters at the Blount
Springs, possessing in higher degree
healing virtue for almost every disease
with which the human race is afflicted
than at any other watering place in the
United States. This, with its pure air and
delightful climate, its beautiful and sub
lime mountain scenery, and its central
position, must ere long, render it the most
popular summer retreat in the south, for
the afflicted and invalid, the fashionable
and opulent, and the wearied seeker of
repose from toll of business.
1t is the intention of the undersigned to
spare no expenditure of either time, per-
sonal trouble, or money, in an effort to
give to the Blount Springs the character
to which it is so richly entitled; and he
INDUCES the hope that liberal and gen.
erous public will sustain him in an enter |
prize so important to large portion of
he South.
