The Healthiest Spot on Earth.
Place to Spend the Spring
and Summer Months

Southern Pines Moore Co., N. c., is situa
ted on q high sand mountain, and there are
several causes which go to make it the
healthest spot on earth, and the very best
place to stop at during the spring and sum-
mer months. It's elevation above the sur
rounding section for more than one hundred
miles causes a delightful breeze at all times
during the summer. Its location amid vast
forest of long leaf pines gives it an atmOs-
phere which physicians Of national reputation
say is the most healthful to be found in the
United States. The soil being pure white
sand gives perfect drainage, and therefore
no form of malaria can exist. The mineral
springs near by, issueing from a singular
medical store house bnilt by nature and curl.
ously situated in this sand mountain seems
as though the Creator intended this spot as q
place where mankind might rest and regain
health.
This place was first noted as a winter
health resort, and thousands of persons from
the Northern States have come to it during
the past few years; and without single ex-
ception they have been benefited. During
the past two summers it has been shown by
actual test that. those suffering from weak
ness of mind or body can find greater relief
at this place than any other known resort.
cut and editor of the New England Medical
Monthly has been investigating for the ben
eft of Northern physicians, and he says
Southern Pines is the best known place for
those who need rest and sleep. lie says tho
first inclination one has is to sleep, and that
this rest, without the use of Glhgs, enables
the natural forces of the body to impart
strength to the diseased parts Those suffer
ing from indigestion, rheumatism and all
blood disorders, nervousness caused by over
work or any other cause find relief and
health without taking medicine. y
Visit Southern Pines and stop at the
Southern Pines House.
Rates of board less than at the majority
of summer resort hotels in the South ac-
commodations superior; every attention Civ
en-. The most eminent physicians of Penn
sylyania and New York constantly in attend
ance. The arrangement for bathing in open
air. Swimming, plunge, shower, hot water,

Raleigh 81 Augusta Air Line Railroad, thirty
miles north of Hamlet and seventy miles

Those who cannot visit Southern Pines can
arrange to have the mineral water shipped to
| them in barrels or half gallon bottles.

OPELoUsAs, La, Sept. 10, 1892.
To the Hon Board of Police of the }
Town of Opelousasas.
Gentlemen--I respectfully and earnestly pro-
test against the proposed Survey of the Town
for the following reasons, viz:
1st. Because you have no autnoflty WhaL-
ever to order such a survey. the C0uTts-ln
suits instituted by owners may order surveys
to be made-but you have no such authority
Cd Because even If you had such authority
the Data for such Survey is not to be had
there is no map OF the town-nor has there
been any Map OF the town, or any OF its various
additions, that can furnish any reliable infor-
nation in regard to the matter.
sd. Because of the expense of said proposed
Suryey-which would be an absolute waste of
public money devoted to it-say waste of $500.
Tor 5000, and
4th Because such asurvey-being made-ab-
soIutely without authority would not have any
binding force on any owner of land-if it gave
him more land than he thought he had ne
might be willing to accept it-but surely If it
took away from him any land hei would soon
ascertain that the Survey was not binding on
him. Respectfully yours,
Whereupon motion of Mr.. e. Latreyte, duly
seconded, the Mayor was ordered to proceed in
having the town surveyed as heretofore IN
structed by resolution of this Board. Carried.
