been such an attendance since the wear

crowded ever since the first of August.

The waters are so healing that the

few days, eat and digest the richest di.

could not eat nor relish q meal because

everything that comes in his way.
There was but one guest at the hotel
who could hold u hand with him, and
that was Mrs. w. X. Martin, of John.
son City, who had the adj antage over
the rest by having her place nearest
the dish of chicken. She took every
thing except the wings and necks and
backs.
The first week we we're there we had
a mar and his wife from Greeneville
named Dukes. MIR. Dukes was suffer-
ing from lost appetite when he came
here, but when he left ne was the
champion eater among all the guests.
He said CT himself that he ate until his
arms gave out and always left the table
hungry. A great number of the guests
have been from the good old town of
Jonesboro, among whom were the fol.
lowing: Mrs. Judge Hacker, Mrs. H.
r. Phinney and children, Mrs. J.. |.
Hawkins and children, Mr.. r. NJ. NAV
and wife, Mrs. NJ. s. Mahoney, Mrs.
Joe M%ahoney, Mrs. Cob hardwood and
children and Miss Zea Middleton, Miss
Helen Nelson and Margaret McTeer, of
Knoxville. These people have most of
them come and gone, but during this
last week our crowd has been swollen
by the following young people from
Jonesboro: Misses Stella Pritchett.
Anna Panhorst, Lizzie Burson and
Messrs. IL. Ii. and 5. S. Kirkpatrick
and Alva Keen. This party of jolly
picnicers was c%haperoned by Mrs. Mil
ton Keen, who had her hands full, for
there has not been as much counting
done in this hollow during all the pre-.
vious years as has been done during
the last week. These young pleasure
seekers would couple off into groups of
two usually and there they would sit
and talk, and look at each other in
such u manne that even the least Gu
rious person could tell that they were
counting. We will not presume to saw
how far advanced these cases became,
but at any rate the progress was not
slow. We were real sorry when Sun
day came, when these young people
left US. 1t was certainly quiet after
the storm.
Last Friday there was a picnic here
and the hollow wasc full of pretty
country girls and ugly country boys,
but all seemed to have q good time.
Our friends from Jonesboro were here
and we had the honor of taking dinner
with them. This crowd was composed
of Mrs. r. NJ. May. Mrs. w. p. Mccall,
Mrs. +. F. Dosser, Mrs. j. M. Fink, Miss
Helen Nelson and Mrs. Printup; the
two last named acted as chaperones,
Miss Nelson having charge of the
driver, while Mrs. Printup managed
the balance of the party. Those who
were here and were fortunate enough
to get an invitation to dine with them
were Mrs. NJ. S. Mahoney, Miss Bosie
Stuart, j. j. Hunt and A. G. Britton.
This party spread their bountiful vi
ands on a little plateau near the spring
where they would be convenient to the
water. So bountifully were they SUD.

o most delightful day at this popular
resort. We had a promise from them
to come back again, 80 well pleased
were they with the place.
Among those from other places who
are here now are, Mrs DIR. Fowler and
