best natural drainage Of any town in
the state. Situated as it is upon
a high point, the water is carried off in
all directions. In a short while after
hard rain, the streets are perfectly
dry again, and no stagnant or still
water is anywhere to be found near
the town, hence it is Of course natu-
raj health resort, especially so since
we have some fine mineral springs near
the town.
