The Newberry herald. [volume] (Newberry, S.C.) 1865-1884, 1883-07-19

Nv letter last week contained the
promise to tell how the stage OF con-
valescence progressed. Well, the road
over which l travel is exceedingly
rough, and the consequence IS that
conyalescence is slow. 4 multitude OF
pains possess me, from the sole
of nv head to the crown of my feet;
large double window sash has not more
pains than have, then they are all
whole. not one cracked. They take
hold in the morning and hold fast till
evening, and partake Of every variety
in character. Variety is said to be the
spice of life-I don't like variety.
l am advised affectionately to take
water.-I take it. But will not har-
ass YOU. dear reader, with recapitnia-
ton of my woes, hundreds OF others
are worse off than l. Ehis is my
ELEVENTH ANNUAL VISIT
to Glenn's, and my attachment to the
place and the people is sincere. have
seen many wonderful cures effected by
the use of the water. and Ihave the hope
that it will ere long 90 to the root OF
my disease, and | be blessed With
health. Let this be the hope OF all.
Glenn's is fuller now than it has been
at this early season for many years
and the company is remarkable 1or It's
welI-bred quiet; the number OF old
ladies with hair silvered by the frosts
of many winters, together with the
cares incident TO life, is large, and they
are all of them pleasant and kind; the
gentlemen also are on their best be-
havior, while the
ABSENCE OF FAULTFINDING AND
GRUMBLING
at table is i noticeable and
agreeable feature. The babies. too,
are the dearest little Jumps
OF humanity I ever saw, they seem tc
have forgotten the privilege all young
sters indulge in, and do not cry. L
have heard but one infantile voice Ell
gagged in this disagreeable pastime as
yet. Barnm's happy family might be
compared to this company of water
drinkers, the number of which now Is
one hundred and thirty. The walters
also seem impressed with the character
of the guests, and do their devoirs as
if they had been
TRAINED TO 1T ALL THEIR LIVES.
The majority of the dusky dish
carriers are from Newberry,
hence the Newbel1y guests are assm-
ed OF satisfactory attention. SO lar
all goes as happy as marriage bell
except the writer who labors to con-
valesce. learn from Mr.. w. c. Cog
gans, who came up last nights that
several NewbeITianS will be here TINS
week, and the more the merrlcr, let
them come. | notice that q CORE
spondent Of the NeacS and Courier, in en-
umerating the amusements here, says
that the pistol gallery is one Of them.
He is mistaken, the only powder on
the place is OF that harmless kind used
by the ladies. The water is eXhilerat-
ing in its effects, and | have no doubt
he was
UNDER ITS INFLUENCE
when he wrote. Butter is abundant, and
better than all, is fresh and sweet. and
so is the milk, the supplyis ineXhaust-
lDIes on the WNOlc Illc improvement III
the Hotel is marked, and decidedly
better than in previous years, and the
young proprietors are doing their best
to make their guests comfortable and
contented their success is assured.
Mr.. George Smith, on Pleasant Hill,
has thrown open his house to the pub
lie, Mr.. Wendt, from the best county
in the State-Newberry-is there, as
so is w. C. G., mentioned above.
Eugene is improving, his face and
hands are cleaner than while at home
and his appetite is splendid. And this
is all and the best that the sick man
can do.
I hope the printer will serve this
letter better than he did the former,
for in the first line of thai ne made me
guilty of a gross grammatical error,
| in the last line he omitted 4 word, and
in about the twentieth line from the
top he made me say l don't like to
take two bites of a cheUing, the word
should have been cherry.
