been said about Cerulean Springs
and several articles written. A let
ter was received by the postmaster
here and handed to me to answer.
1t is from young ply stefan asking
for information in reference to Ceru-
lean Springs as location. lie pro-
pounds eleven questions and i will
try to answer them. He commences
by stating that certain M. ID. in
P Informed him that Ceru-
lean Springs was good location for
a physician. Well it is a tlrst-class
place for a physician or any body
else who wants health and has plen-
ty of money.
His first is how many NJ. DIS. have
You? We have 3 at this time of
writing and one has gone home cured
after drinking the water one week.
End, How many inhabitants have
you? Well, about % or so would
I'LL the bill.
3rd, How far either way is it to a
NJ. D.? 1t is not very far either
way, you can't throw a stone with
out hitting one.
4th, Is your county thickly settled,
level or billy? Yes, thickly settled
and quite hilly, but you don't have
to use a shotgun to plant wheat.
9th, How long before your rail-
road will be completed to your place,
if not already completed? In the
first place don't own place or foot
of ground, and am not amusing my
self building railroads except in my
mind. The one | have under con-
temptation will not be built soon.
9th, How far are you from Clarks-
vile, Tenn? Al miles from Clarks-
vile, l6 from llopkinsvlllc, lG from
Princeton, u from Cadiz and other
towns TO hear from.
7th, What is the character of your
land? Same character as the people
good.
Sth, If | should come to see the To-
cation where would leave the rail-
road? II would be a very pious idea
TO leave it just where it is, the Off
cials might object 10 your bringing
1t away with you, then again you
don't want TO be bothered with lug
ging the L. Il N. al over Cerulcan
Springs.
9th, Have you any drug stores
and how many dry goods stores hav"
you? We have two general stores,
wagon makers shop, two churches,
one blacksmith's shop and drug de-
partment run in connection with one
ofthem.
10th, How often do you get mails
Regularly twice week, except when
we send for them, then we get them
oftener.
llth, fyour place has no good To-
cation, do you know where could
get one? | don't think this place
would suit you in some respects
People never die here, seldom gel
sick, and don't want to. A funeral is
gala-day, and as 10 pointing you
out n location will state have trav'
eled the last winter through Dakota
Montana, Oregon, California, New
Mexico and Texas. / would advise
You to go 10 that place. The climate
will suit you; as you are only q
years old, your age is big thing in
your favor. 1t will give you chance
TO grow up with the country.

actly what l received and answered
exactly as you see here. These let
tiers are sent by young physicians al

EDIroR OF TINS BEACON:
Please allow me space in your columns to
reply to a communication signed "E'iith,'
from Ch,pco, Fla, which appeared in your
paper of July 4,h. We Richiani boosters
considered the "a-,icle" referred TO by
Edith quite joke, but the high'y cultivated
Intellect of some of the Chips saw fit to
construe il otherwise. ] can assure the in>
suited "Chips" that it rds j,ke and Mr..
Noble did not intend to cast any reflections
upon the refinement and deiiccscy Of the
young ladies of Florida.
M. Noble is one of Louisiana's old land
marks and his veracty has never before been
questioned. He said in the 1article' that the
climate of Florida was for eight mouths i'll the
year, delightful, but the summer months were
disagreeably ,ca'~s, and he s'iks to it,
know that the old gentleman did pay a good
deal Of attention 10 the young ladies Of ChiPco,
for he often speaks OF his Chipco darlings,
and of Edith" most of all.
As to Mr.. Mobiles "high expectation"
can say that he expected little when he went
to Florida. and realized less for his twelve
months stay in that State. OMEGA.
