IN the SOutD, .tnls is now u mOSt
important and practical question,
Such a place would certainly be
more than an Eldorado to many
in the South so fearfully visited
last year by the yellow fever.
We think we can safely answer,
Cleveland Tennessee is the place
you seek. This is a most beauti
full village of $500 inhabitants.
/ located in a country altogether
| free from malaria and from all
engendering or exciting causes OF
disease of any character, and is &C
knowledged to be the most
healthful as well as the most
beautiful village in the State
and for health it is surpassed by
none in the South or elsewhere.
And while epidemics like vul-
lures lowered over other towns
and cities in the South in past
years, Cleveland was as free from
disease as any Of the most popu-
lar resorts in East Tennessee or
Virginia. And this freedom from
disease is uniform and in all sea
sons. This being so, most people
would be content without regard
to other conveniences and attrac-
tons. But Cleveland is not
wanting in anything necessary to
make a sojourn or even a resi-
dence pleasant and attractive.
Situated on the East Tenn, Y.
& q. r. r. at the junction Of the
Cleveland and Chattanooga with
the trunk road to Dalton, she at
once is in the very gate to the
South and on the line of all the
East and West travel. Most
beautiful in design as well as in
artificial beauty, she claims pre-
eminently to be the queen vii
lage Of the South.
The society is most intelligent and
refined. Supporting every year one
school Of very high grade where a
thorough college course is taught,
with various other school of lower
grade.
Blessed with six churches whose
pulpits are filed with the best tai
ent of the South.
But where men and women, BOYS
and girl nre in fine health as they
arc bound to be in Cleveland, they
are certain to want something to eat
and plenty Of it, and that which is
good. Did you ever hear of the Ocoee
House? That house is in Cleveland.
A large well arranged commodious
brick building capable of acconmoda-
ting regular boarders by the hun
dred and feeding custc mers by the
thousand And did you ever hear of
Pat Layne? a genuine, thoroughbred
Irishman with a soul rs big as said
Ocoee House and with q generous no.
bic bearing peculiar TO the noble
Irish blood? Well, Pat, with a wife
with every noble bearing far sur
passing him, if possible, runs the
Ocoee House, whose tables groan un,
der the fat and luxuries of the land
and whose lodgings are of the neatest
and most convenient appointments.
You all know George Hatcher, OF
course you do. You remember the
gray headed yoang man who used to
keep the De Lano House at this place,
the Railroad eating house, and was
then Justly styled the prince of feed
ers and most accommodating land
lord on the line between New Orleans
and New York. Yes, you all know
George. and that same fellow keeps
that same house, and is still the same
prince he always was.
Cleveland is surrounded by well TO-
do farmers, on good farms, who cul-
tivate their farms accordingtoth the most
improved methods, and furnish q pop
ulation industrious, intelligent, yir-
tuous and happy.
But we must not fail to note the fact
that Just 3 miles south of Cleveland
is located what is usually termed
Spring Garden. There is no particu.
lar garden there--but the finest
springs that ever hurst out of the
hills, with several varieties of water
including free stone, lime stone and
chalybeate. near which the enterpris.
ing Mr.. S. Y. Pierce has formed two
fine lakes covering some three acres Of
ground and averaging five feet deeI
of pure clear water, and which al
ready are sparkling with the inny
tribe, especially the spotted trout
These two lakes are connected by q
channel and in afew days will be GOV.
cred by row and sail boats which Mr.
Pierce is now constructing for The
amusement Of yisitors. AS a health
point or a pleasure point this is moi
surpassed in East Tennessee Of
Virginia. Beside this, Mr.. Pierce thu
proprietor, will soon have completed
a large, we'll appointed and
commodious Hotel; and will in every
way be prepared to entertain in tht
best style al who may call upon him
From these springs can be seen from
fifty to seventy.fve miles of the louG
range of mountains forming the Tor
derings Of the two great States Of
North Carolina and Tennessee
Three miles only from Cleveland K
these springs, with splendid road
making a most pleasant drive, while
stock of the best quality, buggies
carriages &c. con always be had a
