Interesting Items Os White Springs, Fla. By Mrs. Kate Pettrifoy Cook Now I think you'll nadih agree with me when 1 say I have a kind Hfil indulgent husband, to stay home, feed the cbick.-us, pigs, and let bis wife gooff and have so u.uoh pleasure. But I left him *n good hands, and knew he would be l»oun tifjully fed. This time I spent 10 days at White Springe, Fia., as the guest cf my sister, Miss Alice Peurifoy, who livesat Daytona. The water is io? cold, but has wonderful healing power . 0,.e cat! drink water all day, and then drink more. The writer gain’d 5 llwi in evvidepoiee in the ten days Ae mei with people from nearly every State in the Union. Hotels were full to overflowing The only great amusement was swimming. lha fl iw water from the spring is 32,000 galleria per minute, and flows into the river. lhe spring has quite an inter, esting history, wb'oh Col. C. H. Speoeer, of Tamp;., was kind cikdvgm to relate to me. White Springs was one of the oldest post offices in the state. I'he spring was d scoverrd by Indians, and it was told to the white people of Georgia of its heal-: ing qna'ities. Mr. Cha'fi Id, who was afflicted with rheumatism, visited the spring and was benefited before the civil war. He built a hotel of logs, on Spring St, this side of Bennett’s Drug Store, and established a ferry •cross the riv. r, on east side of spring. His sons, Chatfl-Id Bros, and I’ieoti & Spencer were the leading tie chants for a number of year*. L’hete goods were hauled from lacksonvide, a distance of 75 miiee, by mule and w igon, Long and short cotton were the leading industries, and was ginned iy horse trower; and shipped by mooner from Jacksonville. Soon after the building of the i w hotel, the Indians, seeing see ing their property was being usi J >y whiles, upvared late one after ioon at the ferry. Being refusei iHssage, they got opposite the hot bout dark, fir d their guns, aru etreated. All visitors came in private con eyances. Sonre bringing theii nves with them; and others camp <ig under trees on the bunks oi he river. The fi-at spring house was a ; tory building of hewn pm- tin, ■ r and split boards, and was ne ar man , years. Being burned, it was rebuilt i> .889 with a fr one budding and nd room upstairs, by White i> Wwell, who purchased th- pof rty and put up the new hotel -a --f the old log building, and a fe* ears afterwards, boMi building* id Lie sp iug bouse were deetr -v .’ tv fir.-. I he spring lay dormant for sev eral years, but was then purobes-d by Mr. Jackson, of Baltimore, from Mr. \\ . VV. G irdon, of Savan nah, Ga. Mrs. Jackson, widow of purchas er, opp.-rated lhe spring for a num ber of years Some 20 years ago she erected the present beautiful Spring bouse, which has becoin. : quite a resort, since lhe 80’s for I young people. ; Pryor to this several afflicted 1 people went there. During lhe Civil War, a circus watering tiiere, was a.-ked to give a performance. The little town was crowded. Some of the farmers brought their slaves to see the show. Just before tht show one of their men was killed by Mr. Hogan, a oitiz-u, and being the first killing in the to-vn, it broke up the show and cast a glomn over the whole city The beautiful creek there, now called Sil Maree, was namd foi a country girl, who was captured on tin* banks as sue went for water for the fanily, by Indian Chief Maree, r nd taken to South Fla. During the civil war, on April 7, 18(54, Company B„ of the home guards, w ,s tuustt red into service, just north of tiie spring, cotisis ing of 50 old mon and 75 boys. I’wo of lhe hitter, Henry Clay Robert! and Roland McDonald, live there now. After the company was organ ized Mr. Juo. B Spencer, of Tison & Spenc-r, ass unanimously elec ted captain of the cunpany. After the election of officers I hey marched to Lake City, a distanct fl 3 milts, and stayed in service fill the enfi of the war. Up to 1888, when the R. R. was built, visitors went by private con veyance from WeUbnrne and Mariana. The water from the spring al ways add beauty to the cheeks of the girls, and gives them grace in swimming. One young lady, who was raised there, but who now lives in At lanta, is such a beautiful diverand swimmer, that the crowds watch ing her perform, have to admit that she is mor* beautiful in water than out. Among the prominent visitors fn former year*, was Ex United States Senator Thomas Under vood and the gr-at Evangelis’ fno B Culpepper, both fron. leotgia, In t'eb 1910, the town was al nost destroyed by fire. Twenty < x heroes, four hotels and the cat i school bouse being burned. On* ■f the visitors bad rh- nmatisn*. md had a v *ry narrow escape. On state r-iaJ i,-*. 5, that It ads u h, the leading hotels are th Jal inial and EdgewooJ, on tb • her side are the Jackson, Rob -ts Villa and other small hotels iearlv a I private homes are opei • visitors, trying to accomodat il who com- to be benefited by th* >aler. We ur-l with some lovely friend ran Orianda, who added greatly • our pleasure. They took us to VOL XXVIII see the Lost City, and Oh! 'J is beautiful out there. The beauti ful tre-s o:i the banKs of lhe river, I raped to the g-ennd with Fla, moss. M ill give you a short sketch of the Lost City: lhe land was cultivated before, the civil wai by slaves. Afterwards was purchased by Col, R. yV. Adams, then t ie lands was sold tj Dr. Camp. In 190 GJ. E T. Bow- Jeu, of Waycross. Ga. bought i', laid (IT 80 acres in lots aud put down cement sidewalks for bait a mile, running paraiell with the river. In the spring of 1907 there was held on the grounds a picnic, bai becue, music, speaking and sabs of lots by auction. That fail th. y had what was called the RoseVelt panic, and only two houses was built. Since then it has been neg lected aud looks like a wilderness-, lint the cement walks are still 'here. Another curiosity is the Bone, yard just out of town, owned by a uegresa. Sue has bus bones from -v. ry slate, unfl of every shape ind size, aud her yard is laid ofF in bones of every diseription, Os course, it may make one feel a lit lie weired aud nervous at sight of so many bones, but it is all for show and curiosity. Now, we are at home, and set tled down for the coming winter vith so many thoughts of the pleasant summer, passing rapidly away. The lobacco Growers Mr. B F. Galloway is highly gratified at the result of the at tendance at Bainbridge Tuesdas oy the Miller County tobacio growers.
