Just two miles southeast of Bolivar there is one of the finest sites for a summer resort to be found in the Western District. We allude to the “Dunlap Spring;” the medical properties of these springs are beyond question, and in former years were extensively patronized. In view of the fact that large numbers of the citizens of Southern cities will leave their places of abode on the first approach of the coming summer, would it not be well to thoroughly repair and otherwise improve the buildings at the Springs? ‘There is no doubt of their being extensively patronized if proper accommodations are offered to those who will seek a temporary abiding place away from the sickly air of Hardeman! and catch some of the fleeing birds when dread king cholera shakes the bush of frail mortality. Wake up! and “put money in thy purse.”
