The Mineral Waters Of Eaton.


Eaton can boast of two as fine min
eral springs as are in the United
States. One is the white sulphur wa
ter and the other the black,-located
on Main street, and within fifty yards
of each other-one on the public
square and the other in front of the
DEMOCRAT office. The curative quail
titles of these waters are incalculable
and innumerable. We know long
standing cases of rheumatism, Govt,
Palsy, Heart Disease, Spinal Aztec
ton. Vertigo, Erysipelas, Asthma,
Dyspepsia, Hay Fever, Consumption
and General Debility, and in fact al
most every disease that the human
family inherits, that have been cured
among our own citizens. In addition
to these two celebrated wells in the
centre of town, we have four flowing
wells in the suburbs, the waters of
which have been analysed and found
10 contain valuable medical qualities.
And while men and women are tray
cling hundreds of miles, and spend
ing fortunes TO obtain the health and
vigor o fyouth, here we have i in the
beautiful and pleasant city of Eaton,
free to all who will come and "accept
of the waters of life freely" There is
no doubt that the flowing well on the
premises of Mr.. Frank Deem, is the
long sought Fountain of Youth, and
not only possesses the healing virtues
of Sloan, that issued from the flinty
veins of Mt. Olivet, but it can smooth
the wrinkles of the aged man, recolor
his snowy locks with raven beauty
that shall never fade, sprinkle him
with the sparkling dews of childhood,
and rejuvinate the strongest and dear
est passions of his bosom. AT the
touch of its waters all care flies from
the mind, and one seems transported
TO another sphere of existence, where
he can ~leisurely pursue the path ofhis
desires. Within him is breathed a
new vitality, and the sweet waters of
life flow gently and joyously along
his veins. His mind has gathered a
new strength. 1t is fresh and vigor-
Gus, and is gladdened by the beauties
that surround him. His bosom CLOVIS
with the new-sprung fires ofexistence,
and no dark care sits brooding ver
his soul. He lives and enjoys a new
life-a life that is all pleasure and
contentment, and he again realizes and
enjoys the sweet innocence. and yir-
gin simplicity of youth.
And just across the way is another
fountain well on the premises of Mr..
Haywood, which in its use has devel-
oped itselfto be the long sought Foun-
tain of Wealth, and more highly ap-
preciated by some of our citizens than
the Fountain of Youth, as they can be
seen frequently bathing in its waters,
with the hopeful delusion that it will
guide them to princely fortunes. If
there are any persons skeptical on the
powers of these wells, let them come
and try them "without money and
without price," for il is a well cstab-
lished fact that old and decrepid per-
sons who have bathed in the one
went forth in the vigor of youth,
while those who washed and drank
of the other, came forth with their
mind and desires renewed for the ac-
emulation of the "root of evil"

From the Kpo1viIe 49,

/ From the Knoxville Age.
The life and history of Andrew John
son shows what cao be accomplished by
energy, pluck and perseverance,. There
is no use in repeating for the hundredth
time that he was poor, very poor, born
Of humble parentage and had no fnilu-
ential friends. He had, literally not q
scholastic advantage, having never at
tended school day in his life. To
add to his burthens, he was compelled
to take care of an aged mother, whom
he watched over with the tenderest sol
icitude during her declining years.
Thus, at the threshold of life, he was
hampered with serious drawbacks, and
sufficient to intimidate the stoutest
heart.
All this, however, was not enough to
curb his ambition, or to demolish his
energies. There was a goal before him
| thatZhe intended to reach. Hence he
prepared himself for the conflict. 1t
was, indeed, sublime one. From its
incipiency to its culmination, there was
tussel with life that challenged the
highest admiration, and even his bitter
est enemies could not avoid giving vent
to their appreciation of his herculean
strides On and up he went in despite
of poverty, and in the face of the fer
cest and most formable opposition, fer,
it must be understood that Mr. Johnson
passed through stormy period. He
was bounded by cruel and relentless
Ecnemies They charged him with being
low down and contemplate demago-
que, full of hypoericy, untrue to his
pledges, false to the very class he pro-
fessed to serve and recreant to the de-
mands of lofty political integrity.
This was the sort of current he had to
stem. Let an impartial history deter
mine whether he succeeded or not.
Now for the lesson. What AIr. John
son-accomplished may again be accom-
plished by the young men of the present
generation. 1t is within their power
to achieve success. not perhaps, so bril-
| liant as that achieved by the great Com
moner, but nevertheless a creditable
one. They could not do better than to
study the philosophy of Mr.. JOhnson's
life. 1t is pregnant with Significance,
and full of suggestive thought. There
was not a lazy bone in his body. If he
could find nothing else to do, he would
supcrintend the reconstruction of the
Streets in his own quiet village, which
he did. He worked; he applied his ener-
gies to active pursuits, and whether in
the presidential chair, or domiciled in
his own unpretending home, he was q
man of work. indeed, he worked too
hard. Nevertheless, this was the basis
Of his triumph.
Genius is very good thing in its way
and has a mission to perform, but what
is genius compared with even medic
Gritty, which relies for success upon its
own unaided cffortsg Genius will never
dot our country with towns and cities,
dig down hills and excavate mountains
for the iron horse, and fill our rivers and
seas with vessels of commerce, but a
working mind will If our young men
ever hope to achieve success in any de-
partment of life, they must put their
shoulders to the wheel and push like
men.
