CAYCE SPRINGS. Julv 9th.

warmed up to the task of writing
this epistle, it is SO delightfully."- cool
here. Like the cannon that hedged
in the Old Guard, children are to be
seen in every direction. What a
place il is for the little ones
Cayce's is destined to stand out
pre- eminently the place for chill
dren. Romping in the play grounds,
trooping over the hills, splashing in
the branch, filing the woods with
merry, screaming laughter, varied
now and then with a home-like
squall as some youngster stumps
his toe against root-these sports
bring a ruddy glow to the fair
young cheeks. But the greatest
good for them is in the splendid
waters that gush so plentifully from
the mountain side. Feeble, teeth
ing, complaining children are made
whole here in a few days. / wish
all the dear little ones in Pulaski
could be turned loose here this hot
weather. Bring them up. Don't
punish them by keeping them in
that hot, unhealthy place, when
here is life and health and teeming
pleasures for them.
There are just enough guests
here to make it comfortable. No
fashion restraints-every thing free
and easy. A ten pin alley is Just
being finished. Mr.. Cayce is the
most assiduous host we ever saw
in looking after his guests comfort.
But there are too many Pulaskians
who know this for me to spend
space in telling them of his kind
ness and attentions. We have in
the dining room spring power fly
brushes and they keep the flies off
the best spread table we know Of
real solid, good eating, such as a
real good appetite calls for. We
arrived too late for the opening ball
last week. The large ballroom Is
lighted by Mr.. Cayce's incompara
BILE gas. may have something to
say about this gas machine in fu-
ture. Sufficient now to say that
the light is perfect and all
ing.
One great addition to the Springs
this season is the manner of get
ting over from the station. A good
livery stable at Thompson's fur
nishes the means for a lively, pleas
ant dash over the three miles inter
vening. They are also to change
the road soon, so that it will be lev
ell all the way. Persons desiring to
come need apprehend no trouble
now in getting over from the sta
ton.
We had preaching Sunday and
will have it again tonight. Ell
der E. b. Cayce. of Franklin, is a
thinking man and a good preacher.
So you see we are not given over to
sports and idleness here without
any care being taken of our spiritu-
al selves.
Mr.. Cayce contemplates before
long to build a sail pond just above
the hotel. A magnificent spring
gushes out at the head of large
hollow that can be damned at
small expense aad made into large
lake. The hotel spring comes out
of the mountain side high enough
to throw water to the ceiling of the
highest room on the place. 1t will
be utilized perhaps by next season.
Taking Cayce's altogether, the
immense advantages with which
nature has crowned it, and its sus-
ceptibility of improvement, and
add to these the curative properties
of its waters, especially for children,
but health-giving and invigorating
to all ages and conditions, and we
have, verify believe, the finest wa
tering place in the south. Mr..
Cayce is devoted to the place, but
he has been so wrapt up in other
business of momentous importance
that he has not finished up all the
conveniences he designs. AS it is,
our people are delighted with it, as
everybody else is who comes here.
This was the banner low tax dis
trict last year. 1 haven't heard
it mentioned here this year. Isn't
that ominous?
Judge McLemore and family are
here. At least his family is and
the Judge has been. He went to
Pulaski yesterday to open his
court. He could hardly drag him
self away.
l have been here but two days
and have learned but little to write
the CITIZEN, but there are some
there who wish To know of the ac-
commodations here, and L write
this to inform them. They are am
pie for all and good enough for
anybody.
There are are many wonderful
things in Mr.. Cayce's laboratory
that L wish to write about, but l
will give them a separate chapter.
For a two days sojourn, l think
this large enough. L. d. Nj.
