Jackson Springs, n c., June 22.-In
the good old days of yore, perhaps far
back beyond the memory of the oldest
citizen in Moore county a Mr.. Jackson
was hunting deer in this vicinity where
at that time deer were plentiful. The alert
hunter peeping through the shrubbery and
bushes saw a beautiful buck standing in
a beautiful and cool shaded branch run
ming and splashing over an immense
rock. Had Mr.. Jackson known at that
time what wonderful discovery he was
about to make / guess his deership would
have gone unframed from the never err
ing bullet of the skilled marksman, but
of course not knowing he took good aim
and fired and the splendid buck fell dead
upon the rock. Mr.. Jackson after con-
graduating himself on his fine buck and
being thirsty and seeing water plentiful
in the cool sparkling branch was stoop-
ing down to quench his thirst when he
noticed crash in the rock and issuing
from a small rough bowl just about a
foot from the branch and not larger than
the crown of mans hat he saw gurg-
full clear water and instead of. as was
the custom, drinking from the
branch he tried the spring and Jackson
Springs was then discovered.
Time forbids me from telling how from
than until now this little insignificant
looking spring, whose waters were SO
full of healing qualities, has worked n aly
way into the hearts and affections OF 50
