We were only in this hotel one week-end when our Metroplex Round dance instructors held a week-end of teaching new dance steps, but they gave us a "grand tour" of the hotel for which it had become famous, including the enclosed mineral springs. I remember back in the late '40's when several people went for a week or two during the winter to soak in the pool filled with the mineral water. They didn't appear to get around any better when they returned than before they went! Maybe they felt better because their wallets were lighter?, just a thought in my old age! bettyeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5284597030233351185.post-37605137072524793422010-01-11T10:18:11.185-06:002010-01-11T10:18:11.185-06:00I am tickled to hear that Grandmaw Posey got cured...I am tickled to hear that Grandmaw Posey got cured. The Marietta Springs are a fine symbol of the Mills-McKay family roots in Northeast Mississippi. Hope all of our Texas and Arkansas cousins get to visit the little clear water springs some day.Arvelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00309249600850743655noreply@blogger.com
