10 the Editors Of the Columbia Herald
As a general rule, editors are considered as
public property aud are imposed upon by eve
ry one, especially by those who can manage
to get off from business for few days, to re-
tail the gossip of watering places and other
items of interest. So | have invited myself
to act as a SPECIAL correspondent of the HER
AID, on brief trip, and give you full permits
sion to use your scissors as much as you
please on any letter of mine, or throw the
whole concern" into your trash basket.
l arrived here last Monday evening, and, to
my astonishment, found the place almost de-
serted. Mr.. Theo. Lipscomb, with his family
and Miss JamiSon, being the only persons here,
Mr.. l.. had scarcely finished the "BELL
House." and although unprepared for visitors,
kindly lodged me. Both he and his excellent
wife, have been exceedingly kind and atten-
tive, and | advise any one who desires to spend
a few days pleasantly and free from care, to
try and secure quarters at the "Bell House."
Other families have been coming in every
day, and now we have quite number. The
following is a list of those present with
their families at this writing; Messrs. Geo.

You and your readers are so well informed
in regard to the location of these springs and
the wonderful curative properties of the wa
ter, that a description of them now would be
of little interest. But l will just say one
word TO the stockholders of this property
through you, and that is, that they made a
great mistake in placing the cabins in the val
Icy they should be on the hill above the
springs. There they would find place where
the camp could be made attractive; they
would have pure fresh air at all times,
and refuse matter could easily be disposed of
so as to not to offend the eye, nose or health
of those who make this a summer resort. =.

The intellectual difference between England

fact that the former has the best magazine lit
eIatHre IN the world, and the latter the best
newspapers. Nowhere else can such an ar
ray Of monthly and quarterly magazines and
reviews be found as in England, and the bal
ance of the world cannot furnish the peers of
the leading daily journals in the principal
cities of America. That in which requires the
highest selfcuture i'll special departments of
literature the, English have no supeTiOr,and in
that which requires las the newspaper enter
prise energy, will, individuality, skill, the
Americans can defy all competitors. Hence
there are but very few American magazines
that will compete with those o! the old world.

SPRING Hill, Tenn, July 22d, 1873.
In this hot, sultry summer times, the great
question of agitation is how to KEEP COOL.
The hogs are trying to solve it; the frogs have
stopped their spring notes of joy, and are now
considering the great question. Man, the
most intelligent of all the animals, brings the
giant weight of mighty intellect to bear on
this all-important subject Man, mighty man,
that builds up and pulls down, at will, gov
ernments takes the lightning of heaven and
plays with it beneath old ocean s hoary waves,
and talks with his neighbor familiarity three
thousand miles away,-man, the mighty and
grand, created "lord of all the beasts" "can't
keep cool'-and every pore of his body weeps
tear for his weakness,-and mans mate, the
beautiful daughters of Eve, they too, are weep
ing away the roses from their cheeks, and the
most gallant beau can scarcely revive the
languishing blush. Muslins, and other thin
things, fans, hoops, iced Aemonades, whisky
iced and not iced, and many other inventions,
have been tried, to keep the human family
cool. Fashionable watering places have been
established to keep them cool. The Bon Aqua
seems to be favorite place with the HERALD
and its readers. Pardon this depression, but hav-
ing depressed, will further digress, and leave
everybody to "keep cooP comparatively, and
wander myself to some shady retreat. Cayce's
Springs are my fayOrite resort. It was
well-known to fame in ante bellum times, and
the memory of its glories is well preserved in
the minds of the old folks. In this region its
fame is frequent fireside topic. As artist
viewing the landscape GER" [ should say
that the survey was beautiful. The little
mountains surrounding are scarcely grand,
but certainly very enchanting. The half doz-
en- or more fountains breaking out from the
foot of the same old grand rock is very at
tractive and pleasing to the eye divine, land

PERRY COUNTY ITEMS.

Capt Webb and another enterprising citi-
zen of Linden are preparing to build an ex-
tensive factory on Buffalo, at the place whe
the water comes out of the ground, jest be-
low what is known as the "Sinks." A large
portion of Buffalo River sinks aud passes I'M
der large range of hills, while the main
channel of the river travels many miles
around the base of the hills. This gives the
water under the ground many feet of rapid
fall, and it comes out of the earth in a grand
rush, with power sufficient to keep vast
amount of machinery in motion. An old
shabby mill is already there, we believe, but
such magnificent water power should be made
to propel something worthy of its strength.
