Sandersville Progress September 8, 1926
  One of the best mineral springs in Georgia is what is known as Brooks Spring, 
eight miles southwest of Sandersville, on the state highway to Milledgeville. 
This water has accomplished some most remarkable cures. People who suffer from 
indigestion find that it affords immediate relief, and it is also a cure for 
many skin diseases when used for bathing purposes. Nature has so blended the 
minerals that gush forth with the water that it seems to be a palliative for 
almost all ills of the human system. Many of our people have availed themselves 
of the privilege of visiting this spring and imbibing the health giving water, 
and thousands of others should do likewise for the improvement of their health. 
A small admission fee is charged to all visitors, as it is necessary to raise 
some money for the purpose of keeping the property in proper shape for the 
patronage of the public. The spring is now owned by Mr. W.H. Sheppard, who has 
spent considerable money in the erection of buildings and providing a swimming 
pool for those who are fond of water sports.
