The Fourth passed of very pleasantly in this
town. There was q sort Of basket picnic at the
mineral spring. Such as had a mind carried their
dinners, and others obtained theirs at the new
hotel, where good dinner could be hal for fifty
cents. There was short Grafton by Professor
Weber Of Mt. Vernon, in the forenoon, with
music by The band. In the afternoon and even
ing those that wished had chance to dance.
There was floor ahout 40y50 feet in the shade
near the spring. There were about 900 persons
on the ground and everything passed off ve;y
pleasantly. 1t is one of the best places to be
found for such gathering, for there is plenty OF
shade and great plenty of the best of pure
water. Some wonderful cures are narrated sris-
ing from the use of this spring water aud If one
half is true, then folks with kidney troubles had
better leave off doctoring and partake of this
water, which is said to contain such healing quail
tiles. We think il must be good drink.
That bot spell Of weather has at last abated a
little. We do not hear Of but one man that was
affected by the heat. Mr. G. X. Bessee was so
overcome with the heat that he had to be carried
to the house, and it was about two hours before
be could be brought to.
