SUMMER RESORT.
JonesbOrO's Advantage as a Place Of
Summer Residence.

East Tennessee with her ~salubrious
climate and wonderful health restoring
mineral waters, is now a strong COM
petitors of the North and New England
states, as a summer resort for the inva-
lid in search of health, or the over
worked in search of rest and recreation.
The bracing mountain air of this Sec
ton, aside from the mineral waters, is
a sure antidote for many of the ills to
which people of other sections are SUBJ
Ject. A few good East Tennessee meals,
followed by an outing in the country
will do more to bring back the rosy
cheeks and cheerful spirits of former
days, than all the drugs and patent
medicines from Maine to California.
This may seem strong language, but
the large and increasing number of
people who annually spend a month or
two in our section, and return home
sounding the praises of the delightful
experiences they have enjoyed here,
warrants us in stating at least the facts,
for the information of those who have
never spent a SUMMER in East Tennessee.
While this applies in general to the
whole thirty four counties east of the
Cumberland mountains, it is due the
public to say that Jonesboro is perhaps
the most desirable place for all pur-
poses that can be found in East Ten
nessee at which to spend the heated
term.
/. The Jonesboro Inn conducted by
G. Cate, is INT of the best hotels in the
country, and they know just how to
make you feel at home.
2. s. H. Anderson has the largest and
finest livery turnout in East Tennessee,
with polite and accommodating en-
ployees to serve patrons at all hours.
8. Embreeville, the celebrated iron
works now in operation. johnson City,
Clark and Austin g celebrated springs,
all on good roads, are within one to two
hours drive from Jonesboro.
4. A ride or drive over the country two
or three times a week to these or other
points of interest, with the social life
and pleasure found at the Inn will GER
tainly drive away care and disease and
give renewed vigor and strength to both
mind and body.
While commencing East Tennessee
as the equal of any other section on the
globe for a summer resort, we do not
hesitate to say that Jonesboro the oldest
town in the State, the capital in 1876
of the State of FARMLAND mot Frank
lin, the town noted for its excellent
society, fine school and good churches,
is the place above all other for a sum-
mer home. The attitude of Jonesboro
is nearly 100 feet, and the nights are
too warm in midsummer to dis
pense with cover. As for mosquitoes
they are too few and far between to re-
bars, and if you can leave your
conscience at home, there will
be nothing to disturb your peace of
mind or body while you make Jones'
boro your home. We have good ply
good lawyers, good business
men, good mechanics, good laborers,
and the pretriest and best women in
the State, any or all of whom will tell
you, that there is no place like Jones
boro. Come and see for yourself and
be convinced that we have not over
stated a single fact.
The people of Jonesboro should use
their influence to fill the town with
summer guests and make a regular sum-
mer resort.
