Well Hot Springs has this and more; right down our French Broad River. v "The water -of this spring must have come from thousands Of feet below the surface to have obtained such heat. There is one spring on the south bank al ready equipped with a fine - bath house. - Another spring has been found in the middle of the French gad River, it Jbeing accidently uncovered by men' repalriffgi abndgeof the State Highway, Still another , spring is on the north bank.
