The Newberry herald. [volume] (Newberry, S.C.) 1865-1884, 1883-07-12
Sniffies at Glenn's Spring.

Yes, am at Glcnn's, old Glenn's OF
my old happy memory; got here at
7.30 in the twilight cleaning Saturday
evening last, tired, almost tagged out
by the long, hot ride by rail, through
a dusty, parched country which is suf-
fering for rain, and supplemented by
the twelve mile hack ride from Spar
tanburg. How my bones ached. Every
mile of that weary, iolting, humping,
humping ride I wished l were home
again. Before leaving Spartanburg |
met the Rev. J. B. Campbell, and
would have accepted his pressing invl-
tation to lie over, but I dislike to He-if
it only be over,-when the objective
point is definitely fixed upon, l don't
like to make two bites at chewing,
particularly if a sour one as in this
case, was tired. promised to visit
him on my return, after convalescing.
l forgot to inform the reader that l am
on the convalesce, have been on 1t
since Friday, the day I left MY sick
bed, and pulled away from home fast
enings and comforts, to hunt the thing
beyond all price-health. l have had
very little OF it in late years, and ap-
preciate it very much when 4 little
taste is afforded me. I HOPE TO FIND
1T HERE, and Mr.. Wistar Simpson, the
father of the clever boys who run the
Hotel, and for whom the spring yields
it's supply of life-giving water, tells
me that 1 surely shall. believe him.
am pleased to say that he is looking
and feeling vastly better than when /
saw him one month ago. l am not
the only one here, there are SIXTY
OTHER CoNvALESCENTs; almost every
county in the State is represented by
one or more. I need not say that
Newberry is-Clark is here and looks
as keen as cambric needle, Burns is
here, vastly improved, Wheeler is here
also. and so is Reagin and then l am
here, and Eugene Sniffies; my old and
long tried friend, Capt. Sigwald is
here, ior which I am glad, besides
many others, among whom are a large
number of wives, mothers and daugh-
tiers, the latter largely predominating,
and but for the fact that most OF the
gentlemen here have unruly livers,
unmanageable kidneys, weak digestive
organs or some one or more OF the
many ills to which flesh is heir, l
might think that these fair ones
have come HERE TO GET HUSBANDS,
but such is not the case. Many Of
them, no doubt, in spite OF their frisk-
mess and ability to hide the canker of
disease, have similar troubles, and
have to drink the water, and partake
of the good things afforded by the
house. l notice that there are no
vacant places at table, the entire sixty
five doing full work. How pleasant
it is when brethren dwell together in
unity, and they can do so when the
needs of the stomach are properly
provided for. occupy a cabin, it is
cooler than the hotel, and can sooner
get up a good condition OF GONZALES
cence in the cool OF the cabin than in
the main building, and it shall be my
pleasure to tell you very soon how |
am progressing. In the meantime
will like to see Newberry coming up
to her old time duty with larger re-
presentation at Glenn's than there is
at present. Several inquiries have
been made already as to when Silas
Johnstone, Esq, will show his beaming
face here. / wish he were here now,
and Chris. Suber, and host of other
good spirits. Chancellor johnson,
OF Marion, is also here. Come one,
come all, and be cured of all troubles
you.
