AT TIE HOTEL.
The Editor of the Herald and News
was at the springs few days ago and
we were pleased and delighted beyond
our expectations. The hotel IS on an
eminence overlooking the surrounding
country, and the view from the long
piazzas is very fine. Its equal to some
mountain scenes. The bills and valleys
stretch out before the eye for several
miles, and present a view that is pic
turesuue and lovely 10 behold. The
hotel is new and we'll arranged and
neatly furnished. The rooms are large
and comfortable. The culinary depart
ment is good and the surroundings are
lust such as one desiring rest, recreation
and health would be pleased and de-
lighted with. At the foot OF the hill,
about two hundred yards from the
hotel, is the spring that has already
been blessing to so many and IS des-
tined to bless thousands more IN the
days to come with its health giving
properties. :,
PEOPLE come there from miles around
in their buggies and drink and carry
the water home with them. We should
not desire better place to spend few
weeks than at Harris Lithia Springs.
Our observation and experience there
was short, it is true, but we were i'm
pressed with the fact that Mr.. Harris
is making every effort 70 secure the
comfort and pleasure Of his guests, and
those who were there speak IN the
highest terms Of the place and the bene-
fetal results obtained from their So
journ.
There is now a postoffice at he
Springs and mail is received three times
daily.
NEWBERRY EELL REPRESENTED.
During this season Newbcrry has
been we'll represented at the springs
and many more will go. Among those
who have been there are Solicitor 0. l..
Schumpert, Mayor L. w. {. Blalock,
Prof. Thos. w. Gary, DR.. J. X. Glider,
Hr. O. B. Mayer.
There are now at the springs from
Newberry, Mr.. A. NJ. Bowers, Miss
Lucy Bowers, Mrs. F. a. Schumpert,
Mrs. Sophia NJ. Redus, Prof. A. w.
Focle, Irs. Thos. +. Epting and Miss
Maud Langford. Mr. Bowers is de-
lighted and speaks in the highest terms
of the beneficial results Of the water,
and his general appearance shows that
he has been greatly improved. He IS
looking as we'll as we ever saw him:
Mrs. Redus says that she expected
much from the water, but the results
have been greatly beyond what she an
ticipated. And such is the testimony
Of all with whom we talked.
There are now about twenty guests
present and the day we left several
came in. Among those who were there
last week are Judge Samuel W. Melton,
of Columbia, Judge James Aldrlch, AS
sisstant Adjutant General Watts, who
had been at Glenn Springs. All these
bear testimony to the place as health
resort. Augusta is, also, represented.
We can conscientiously recommend
the place to all who are seeking rest,
recreation or health.
Mrs. Harris is of NJ wberry family,
being the granddaughter OF our old fel-
low-citizen, Rev. Mark Boyd, and New
berrians soon have a home like feeling.
Mr.. G.. A. Bowman, also OF Newberry,
is in charge Of the office and gives
hearty welcome to all NewbeTrians.
We feel like we would just like to
remain there about a month and forget
all about politics and newspapers
where we couldn't hear the cry of the
typo for "copy" nor the polite request
of our creditors "to please settle that
little bill'-to forget for the time being
all the cares and troubles OF life. But
such q dream is never to be realized by
the average country editor. 10 others
who are more fortunate-who have the
time and means-we advise you to 60
to Harris Lithia Springs and rest and
recuperate so that you can return TO
YOUR business invigorated and. feeling
Strong for the further battle Of life.
