The famous Salt Sulphur Springs seem to De
ENJOYING an unenviable reputation this
season. II is strange that seekers after
health will wander way off TO Saratoga and
other fashionable resorts, when right here is

a nation Of dyspeptics and it has besn set
tied beyond a doubt that the Webster water
is an iufalible remedy for that malsdy and
nearly all diseases Of the liver and kldneys.
know of several cases of dyspepsia that
this water has cured. When the parties
came here they could scarcely eat anything
and after q weeks use OF the water they
could eat almost any kind Of fat meat. am
satisfied that if a correct analysis Of the
water could be made and its medicinal viz
tues known, it would be utterly Impossible
TO accommodate all who would come,
with the present facilities. This season
has been a very profitable one
to the hotel keepers, in fact, thu place has
been so crowded that it Lds taxed the hotels
beyond their capacity but they have man
aged some way to accommodate ell. II some
enterprsiug capitalist would erect a suitable
hotel here. one that would accommodate
$50 or 700 guests, he would fnd in it q pay
ing investment. There are four hotels here:
The "Woodrll House Curry House
'Invalid's Home and Webster House.
But their has been such a rush here this
season that all OF them have been crowded
with visitors from different parts Of the
State.
Addison has been highly honored this
season as she has never been before. Among
the DISTINGUISHED visitors who have been
here for several days are |. S. Senator'S ).
y. Camden and 10 n T.. Renni. StAs
Treasurer ". L. Thompson, eX-Attorney
. General c. c. Watts. Auditor DuHg and
Gov. Wilson have been expected here but
have not arrived up to date. We do not
think the two SENATOR'S were freed from the
opportunities OF Office seekers If oae ls to
iud,e from the manner in which they are
button holed.
A very amusing Joke was perpetrsted on
Senator Kenns which caused a great deal
of merriment among the boys. Both Sena-
tors Camden and kenns are great yotaries
of the piscatorial art, and the object Of their
meeting here was to have boats constructed
at this place and proceed on down the Elk
10 Charleston, enjoying the scenery aud en-
ticing the 6uny tribe from their retreS'.
Senator kenna is a great admirer OF noun
tain scenery and an amateur artist OF some
p~reteutions. He has q csmerao bscura with
him to take views by the dry plate process,
and afterwards deyelopes them when he
reaches home. lie succeeded in taking
some excellent views OF Addison from the
adjacent hills, and wound up by taxing a
large group Of visitors Tear the Salt Sulphur
Springs. There is an artist here from Mich
oias, Mr.. Starbuck. The night before the
senatorial party left some mischieyous boys
took Starbuck's sign down and placed 1t
over Senator kenna's door with q schedule
OF prices for pictures. When the
Senator came out the next
morning he found over his
door. Photograph Gallery. Gems 10
cents; photographs 20 cents; %tin-types 10
cents. kenna taks pictures 10 cents
chcarer than S'arbuck dsres to Of course
the Senator enjoyed it as much as the boys.

Circuit Court has been in session here for
several days with Judge Henry BrannOu on
the bench. Since the last term OF court
some one entered the clerks office and car
ried off about 40 indictments, consequently
the Grand Jury was retained several days
longer to make them over. The case of
Miss Frarcins Fisher for running . whisky
shop was continued until the next term.
William Williams who was in jsil for rob-
bing was tried and convicted at this term
and sent to the'penitentisry for two years for
stealing whisky while in jail. Itseems that
some whisky belonging to 8 man named
Huey WAS attached for debt and plscsdi in all
for safe keeping. Williams game dforci6le en-
trance into the cell where it was and had q
regular picnic, for which be will lsnguish at

Brannon, in accordance with the Presidents
and Governors proclamation, held N court
on Saturday, but adjourned IS q respect to
The memory Of Gen. Grant. w"
