Editor Home Journal:
While accounts of watering places, p"
"summer resorts" and other retreats
from the heated cities, are occupying so
much space in the public press, | will
attempt to bring a little notice of the
Winchester Springs to the gaze Of your
many readers.
These Springs, while they have near
" become "relic of the past" on ac-
count of their disuse during the late I'M
pleasantness and subsequent litigation,
still are noted for their excellent sui
phur and chalybeate waters, and are re-
sorted to by many during the summer
months who are willing to live away
from the hum-drum style and tashiona-
BILE bathrooms, &c, at more fortunate
resorts. The buildings here are large
and spacious, capable of furnishing
room for great many, though they are
somewhat out of repair at present.
Mrs. NJ. II. Williams, Of your town,
has rented cottage here Of six rooms,
and her house has been crowded for
some time with boarders. MIR. Bran
dron has control of the main building
and has rented quite number OF room;
to citizens of Bedford and Marshall
counties.
Among the arrivals from Winchester
within the last week are: NJ. +. Petty
and family, John Simmons and family
Ellis Days and family, G. G. Phillips
and family, W. W. Garner and family
Misses Matte Williams, Anna and Lou
Stewart, Thos. jenkins, Thos Davis, A,
DAYS, W. Henderson, Sim Nenable
Miss Jessie Houghton, and Mrs. Graves
Pennington and family. Many Others
are here whose names | have not beer
able to learn. In short, | think the day
is not far distant when the Winchester
Springs will regain some of her past
glory, and be numbered among the
most pleasant and fashionable resorts OF
the country.
