The Summer Hegira.

The first of July was hot, and the
people were beginning TO pack their
/ grips for the springs, when the ram
came, and there has not been many
warm days since But II is heating
up now ana besides very many people
! have promised themselves to go some
where this summer, and 90 they will.
and go they should, and the question
now is, where Will you go fishing
and eaten chiggers? Will you camp
out ana come back more tired than
whan you lefty Will you 60 to the
springs, and find nothing but little
water, and that surrounded with hogs
and fees and cattle2 Or will you 90
to a real summer resort, where you
may combine health, pleasure and,
comfOTt2 There are more things to be
considered than one, wnen you start
off either for pleasure or health The
main thing to be eonsideren is, where
can / get the most tor my money!
Speaking from experience. we place
our money at Bon Aqua You may
find as g bod water elsewhere, but none
better. You may find as clean linen
and fresh rooms. but you don't often
find them You may meet as nice
people, but you won t run across them
everywhere. You may strike as fine
dancing pavilion, but we DO not know
where. You may dive into as beautI-
full bathing pool, but it is not IN
this State. You may find place that
Will com Dine health and pleasure and
comfort to equal Bon Aqua. but you
won { iind 1t very close about. Every |
thing considered, we advise you to
give Bon Aqua trial. That is the
advice all those who have been there
and have come back, are giving their
friends. And acting upon that advice
about 30 OF 40 people will leave here
next week for Bon Aqua. Better get !,
in the band wagon and have good
time.
