In a talk wllh Captain Beall, son of Urs. Beall'
proprietrera of tba Beall spring property, Warren
county, the Clipper gathers tlie following informa
tion : The spring has been used beyond tho memo
ry of any known living citlzvn. Its first medicinal
use as f«r as known was between tho year 1*00 ahd
1823. There was a man with a sore leg who vM ted
the spring—then running from a piece of hollow
gum—and by drinking tho water and bathing In It
wsscured. This no doubt gave the spring much
reputation. In 1823 the lint cabin was erected on
the ground for the benefit of an afflicted sitter of
Rev. Ezra McCrary; the Utter sUU lives about two
miles off. lion. Augustus Beall, Captain
Beall’s father, used to tell of a man who made fir t
an attempt to take up laud about tho spring. IIo
cut logs lobulld and la tbe meantime kept working
on the spring to make it fit to drink, but, being
Ignorant of its mineral properties, declared it unfit
for use and abandoned the place. It wss afterward
taken up by Mr. Jeff Fowler, grandfather of Mr. 8.
U. Fowler. The latter Is a prosperous young farmer,
about a mile or more fr*>m the spring. Captain
Beall's grandmother settled the place, now cccu-
E led by Mrs. B-all, and where your correspondent

It has been a popular resort.
