REMARKABLE SPRING Uncovered

REMARKABLE SPRING DIsCOvERED.-
A remarkable spring at the head of Naked
Creek in this county, and in the vicinity
Of Salem Church, is attracting considerable
attention at this time. A volume of wa
ter sufficient to carry mill isstes directly
from the spot, with no surrounding feed
ers. The water is supposed to be the veri-
table lithia water, such as has obtained
such notoriety in Mecklenburg CO., in this
State. It evidently contains large in
fusion of soda and potassa. Good light
bread is sometimes made from this water,
without the addition of yeast. The spring
is owned by Mr., George Seawright

CEAsE's COMPOUND has acquired really an en~
viable reputation; in fact, it has met with un-
precedented success. Never has there been q
medicine before the people that has given such
universal satisfaction. Those who once use it
will not be without it, All look upon it as a
blessing in time of affection. an children who
can but lisp its name call for it when they are
suffering with aches and pains. They have the
evidence of hundreds of our best citizens, who
claim fof it as family medicine that it has no
equal, and we advise all who are suffering from
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, or aches and pains of
any kind to try it, as it will surely give imme-
diate relief. 1t is also highly spoken Of by
Spralns, Sore Throat &c. 1t is a home medi-

tention of those who stand in need of good
