might point It's current in some other di-
recIion. Its temperature Is G2' Fahrcn,
from which it does not vary during the
heat Of summer or the cold Of winter.

diseases, and Is sought for It's medical
Qualities by the diseased and the afflicted.
Ii Il special relief for dyspepsia and
liver disease by taking it internally, and
also by frequent hot baths. With u fair
trial. II no doubt will furnish an elltctual
cure for the diseases named. Persons,
however, come here and spend few days,
using the water, and finding no relief,
leave disglsIed with everything like
medical springs, which II they expect re-
lief they should remain from one to three
months at least.
THE HOTEL

largest hotel In the South. The dining
room Is 800 feet long by 80 feet In width
and will seat comfortably at ono time u
200 guests. To Use a very expressive
term 1t is a bigMing TO see that great num-
Der gathered In . dining hall seated at
circular tables oil partakiDg OF u repast

hotel Is the large, magnificent parlor,
which Is neatly but not gaudily furnish
cd on the west end Is the ball room, which
Il the same size and shape OF the pnrlor.
From eight In the evening till late at
night
THEDANcE
coca merrily on. Nearly everybody
dances from the old decrepil mercantile
hero down to the children who have not
vet reached their "teonS." The ladies, OF
course, dress elegantly, while the men are
required to flourish a swallow tail coat
aud other apparel In proportion before
they can "lip the light fantastic" on thus
beautifully waxed floor, which Is almost
MsmOolh IA glass.
THE LAWN
ia laid of in squares and circles by scr.
pentine walks sanded and graveled. 1t Is
literally covered with trees Of every
site and kind peculiar TO this latitude.
In almost a complete circle around the
main hotel Ia row Of cottages one story
high, painted white and named for aiI
tho Southern States, such rs Alabama
row, Georgia row, &c. These cottages
arc preferable 10 rooms In the nrinciDal
hotel and arc most all filled at this time.
In Tact there are days here, and even
weeks, when there are but few vacant
rooms In either cottages or the large no.
teIi a. many as seventeen hundred people
have been here at once, and all Of them
occupying comfortable quarters in sepn.

iaGt tue White Sulphur Springs at thia
time Is a town Of no mean proportions.
