The Other Group.
And now we come to another group OF
very popular Springs on the line of the Altar
tic, Mississippi and Ohio railroad. the centre
of which is the point of crossing of the
Allegheny mountains hy the railroad Those
Springs are varied in character, and have
won great fame for their curative powers,
while tue district in which they rise is re-
markable for its lovely scenery, its delight
full airs, and its rich resources for good liv-
ing. Several of these Springs are adj
vertised III the Dispatch, and to these we
invite the attention Of our readers:
TIE ALLEGuAsY SPKINGs.-These famous
waters are five miles from Shaw's
depot. nea: the top of the main Ale
ghany, where it is crossed by the Atlantic,
Mississippi and Ohio. They are in a sort
of cove of the mountain side. amongst the
crystal streams that give their tribute to the
beautiful Roanoke river.
The water Of the ALLEGHAEY SPRIEG is
noted for its efficacy in dyspepsia. that
being the parent of number OF ailments
which flow from imperfect digestion. 1t
is Alternative, tonic, and detergent. 1t is good
in all phases of disease of the mucous men,
brane. Perhaps in This way it is one of the
most famous of the Springs of the day.
The establishment is capaciolis, and the
management of the place is this year in the
hands of Mr.. j. B. T1SsLEY, favorabIy known
to the public as one of the most experienced
and .iudicious of the fraternity of "Spring-
keepers" He is considerate and polite
gentleman, and knows how to feed and lodge
good people. Nature has done wonders for
the ALLEGHANY, and T1SsLEY will do what
art can to make things complete. There are
abundant means of well-rewarded rambling
in the vicinity. The mountains and valleys
and clear streams of Montgomery county
will break down the traveller long before he
grows tired of their evcr-changins beauties.
YELLOW SULPHUR SrRINGS.-Now, here is
one OF the most interesting and peculiar
watering-places we have ever visited. 1t is
on top of the Allegheny ridge, in Mont
gomery county. The waters on one side of it
find their way to the Roanoke river, and on
the other they swell the volume of New
river. 1t is in forest range of line and
richly-drcssed trees, and seems to be the
headquarters Of the superintendent of the
summer zephyrs. Cool and shady, and yet
bright and joyous, is this mountain summer
resort.
1t is perhaps the oldest in the group of
Springs TO which it belongs. 1t was opened
to the public in 1900. In 1910 Bishop MADl-
Son. of Williamsburg, made an analysis of
the water and published highly favorable
account OF its virtues in cutaneous diseases,
Inflammation of the eyes, bilious complaints,
enlargement Of tho spleen, &c. 1t was also
found positive remedy in many cases OF
nervous disorders, in chronic diarrhua, and
other long-standing maladies.

Weller will be satisfied at the Yellow Sui
phpr; which, besides having great sources
OF health and pleasure by itself, is cligibly
located for departure to other localities of
great interest. 1t is only three and half
miles from Newbern depot, on the Atlantic,
Mississippi and Ohio railroad, and is distant
hive miles from the Montgomery White Sui
phur Springs, twelve from the Allegheny
Springs, seventeen from the Mountain Lake,
in Giles county, and nineteen from the New
River White Sulphur, &c.

sort high UP in the mountains. IL stands on
the western slope OF the Blue Ridge near its
top, in Botetourt county, amidst charming
scenes and commanding picturesque views.
