ideal place Tor the tired 0ity worker
TO find rest, the depleated, weary in
valid to regain health and strength,
the poet and artist to gather inspira-
tion, and the gay votairies of society
to enjoy pleasure under conditions
that will cause young eyes to brighten
and overstrained nerves to regain
the tension and be ready for the
strenuous demands of the gayeties of
he coming winter season.
The sublime scenery of the noun
tains attract the traveller as the train
rolls out of the station at Asheville.
and, as the ponderous locomotive
goes laundering along over stream
and trestle vision of grandeur un-
folds itself to the eye which indeed
lifts the spirit into the actual reality
that you are nearer Gods beautiful
home above the clouds.
Peak after peak lift the'r towering
tops higher and higher, upward, ever
upward, until they are lost in the
clouds, and the heavens above and
the earth beneath are locked together
in the everlasting regions of Gods
beautiful creation--the wonderful
old Earth.
On arriving at Waynesville you
take the stage for the famous sulphur
spring, and after pleasant drive of
ten minutes, over most comfortable
road along the winding bank of the
Richland river, you arrive at the
hotel. The park in which the hotel
is situated contains 50 acres of beau
tiful lawn. A tiny, ripping stream
winds like a silver thread in and out
between banks of wild roses scattered
like fairy elfins, in gauzy robes of
pink and white, along its sloping
margin, tinting the picture with an
atmosphere of dreamy, reposeful
quiet.
Above towers the life-giving Bal
sam mountains, which send down,
with every whispering zephyr, their
healing odorous breezes. At their
feet are found the two now famous
springs of sulphur, iron and lithia,
which draw so many to this favored
spot.
The hotel is surrounded by broad
piazas on which guests can take the
exercise so necessary to perfect
health during tho roiny spells 80
common to the mountains. The
rooms are we'll furnished, clean and
attended by the white graduates of
the Asheville Industrial School,
which insures honest and polite SER
vice.
But, the dining room! Chief of
all rooms IN every household, what
shall l say of that?
"You may live without friends, you may
live without books,
But civilized man cannot live without
cooks"
With high ceilings, spacious floor,
and windows on every side of the
compass, it is place of beauty and
of comfort beautiful with It's wealth
of rhododendrons, comfortable with
its many well-prepared and dainty
dishes of meats brought from the
neighboring farms, vegetables and
fruits culled fresh daily from the
garden and orchard belonging to the
hotel, and milk which needs no in
spection save glance at the we'll
fed Jerseys roaming in surrounding
pastures, while the bright faces of
the rosy-cheeked mountain wait
resses as they smilingiy hand around
the good cheer, tempts the appetite
to the enjoyment of the healthy
viands SO abundantly provided.
Soon the annual visit of the Cbero.
kee Indians of the neighboring res
ervation will take place and many
a stalwart chieftian will testify,
"Drinkee smelin water, no die
neber," as he quaffs, with unabating
faith, the never-ceasing flow from
this "fountain of YOUTH" and then
