A telephone line has been built to con-
next Shoccho Spring, two miles north
east of Talladega, with the city. The
water of this celebrated Indian Spring is
brought daily to the city in glass carboys
and finds large sale. 1t is soft free
stone water, slightly tinctured with chaly-
beate. very agreeable to the taste, with
fine medicinal effects. Before the settle
ment of Talladega the Indians came from
long way off to drink of this spring,
attributing to it great virtue and one
of their long trails leading to the Ten
nessee river was slightly diverted so as
to pass this spring. Adams & Patterson,
the owners, are identifying and develop
ing the property, and have displayed
great foresight and business sense in
their arrangements. An hourly transfer
line will be run to the spring during the
summer months.

posted about far and wide, warning all
and sundry that such was the case.
Not only were the people cautioned to
give the car wide berth. but they
were told to remove their animals into
safe quarters.

Blanche Bates, who is practical

ness of its eggs and poultry. Down
there eggs sell in summer at anywhere

cents in the winter. When they were

The other day she overheard con-
