What a pleasant Sunday
afternoon we recently spent
at Allison's Wells, a noted
resort with plenty of person
ality, a place that knows how
to mix dignity with fun.
1t was in 1879 that the first
mineral we'll was dug on the
premises, and only 81 feet
deep, the medicinal proper
ties of the water was proven
after having first been dis
covered by a colored tenant.
Something of magic goes to
work on the visitor shortly
after his arrival at the Wells.
If he expects modern archi-
lecture and formal gardens,
neatly manicured, he may be
a trifle crest fallen for a mo-
ment, because Allison's is not
that kind of place.
In fact, it has been we'll
said that this is not so much
a place as it is a way of life,
here one finds true southern
hospitality, typical of the
cold South. This conviction
usually grows and deepens as
the spirit of the place takes
over.
