v After eighteen days Of rest and recuper.,
alton we are again at our post OF duty, ano en-
feel greatly benefited by our trip. we
spent the greater portion of our vacation
with an nncle's family, who reside IN
Pleasant Valley, Murray. County, Ca, at
the base of the Cohutta Mountains and q
few miles from the Tennessee line. There
were many pleasant incidents connected
with our trip, and If time and space per-
mitted us we could write column or tWo
about it. Pleasant Valley Is one OF the
hest farming sections of North Georgia,
and fine cotton is grown there. Murray
County has MANY undeveloped resources.
and the only thing it needs is railroad
and little more capital. The climate is
fine. and the pure. cold limestone water is
yery healthfnl. We spent few days at
the famous old Cohutta Springs. which
were first discovered years ago oy the IN;
dams, who would resort there to be cureo
Of their diseases. These Springs consist
of half dozen or more IN NUMBER, eacn
of which contains different mineral quail
ties. They all fow from the mountain
side. The place is most beautiful and ro-
mantic. and is visited every summer by
crowds of health seekers. The property
was formerly owned by Hon. Joe Brown;
of Georgia, and has not been improved,
very much. A Company, composed OF
citizens of Dalton and Spring Place, have
recently purchased the property and pro.
pose next year to improve it. The water
benefited pssHad our only regret is that
our stayf there was limited. We shall ever
losf Back to The trip with the most pleas
amt recollections.
