BACK TO OLD BLOUNT AND ITS SCENES
By MRS J. D. REIn

Even a day spent at old R!ouny Springs compels one to bring home a memory on even a message Of what used to be-"
 Nestled in the shade of the noun tains, she slumbers in vslley-''na- ture with folded hands seemed there'- waiting for recognition of her merits.
 In all of our soutnland there Is no greater possibility for the develop nent of a splendid year-round resort than there is right hero within an hours ride of our overtlowing cly. Man must be awakened to this op- portunity ere Blount will bloom again with life and rigor as was her fate in years gone by.
 Nature has been on her job in this Creation of an ideal health and rest spot. Only man has ceased to do his part, and Blount sleeps today oa its yesterday laurels.
 We can but refer to the shattered past.

If memory serves me right. and l am sure it does, our present gi eat statesman, Senator oscar w. Underwood, was nominated first for Congress in the old ballroom in the Jackson House" This announce ment was formally made to the visi- tors to the springs in the old pavilion by Colonel Arnold, the distinguished father of Dolly Dalrymple.
 Blount was great gathering place for politicians--these occasions being the scene of picnic and bar btcues; when famous orators voicey rang through the woods for demo- cracy. The old cold spring was the choice locality for these events, and the gurgling waters of the Blue Hole" near by seem to echo the spirit or the past to me who retrace our steps and recall the joys of those good old days.
 Dolly Dalrymple painted a gorge ous pen picture of what has been done for French Lick and what the result has been to the world. Ala bama needs 8 Tom Taggart" to bring out the resources of her noun tain possibilities-she stands wish iEg for n genius of his kind, with

 There are bold streams Of running water, whose source IS from cold mountain springs, dug out of native rock, oftentimes reaching far back under the crevice of the mountain In many instances these streams unite, and at their functions wero grist mills and sawmills operates b. waterpower.
 The natural pssturage is good for stock, and Blount county was notes for it's fine fruit and mutton n fact, there can be a home market made at Blount-unequaled any where.
