Sbaw's Healing Springs.

Shaws Healing Springs, owned by
Mr.. j. l. Shaw. The acknowledged
health giving properties of these waters,
superior to many better known, cause
many of the afflicted to seek their use.
There is a group of 16 different springs
at this place. The analysis of the water
of these springs is about the same is
that shown by Hygeia and other spring
analyses, The surroundings are lovely
and when person has spent some time
here he imagines he is in the mountains,
from the bracing air, cool waters, roll
ing hills rugged rock and enchanting
scenes. Only trial is all that is neces
sary TO convince the public as thousands
OF the patrons of the springs of Warren
| county, will testify.
Industrial.
At present there are not many indus
trial institutions located here The
raw material is shipped away IN vast
quantities. The 1900 bales Of cotton
sent away annually from here, should he
worked up in a cotton factory. There
is no better location in the State for III
vestment in this direction
The tens of thousands pounds of as
fine tobacco as is found IN the South,
should be manufactured and put on the
market from the depot here Labor
and other requisites being low. tobacco
can be manufactured as cheaply as any
other point in the State.
A broom factory to work up the large
amount of broom corn raised in this
section. would pay well and give en-
plOyment to many who are more or less
idle. No finer material grows on earth
for the manufacture of brooms than is
grown right here.
Thirty to forty car loads OF fine slaves
are shipped away annually that could
be worked up into barrels and money
invested in this enterprise would pay
handsomely, the material being the very
best and lnexhaustible.
, If the vast quantity of timber and
t woods, such as pine, holly, hickory, dog
wood, persimmon, poplar and Other
, woods could be worked up iuto shapes
that would bring thousands of dollars
into the community, that are now SEN
t North, what revolution it would ere
. ate in the place. Enterprise and capi-
tai can find no finer field for Investment
. than here, because the advantages oil
+ shipment and the raw material are equa

S ticles of wood, will one day be manu-
q factured at Littleton and why not now

' The county Of Warren contains a
