Cd of informing the public that he has pur-
chased the Springs commonly known as
SprOles' Springs, which are situate in Holmes
county Mssissippi,l0 miles SOUTHEAST of Lex

Improvements of the best and most substan-
tial character have been built; and extensive
arrangements completed for the accommoda-
ton of visilers, for the ensuing season. The
multitndes who have tried these waters, attest
their valuable medicinal qualities. They have
restored to vigorous health constitutions which
have been worn down by long standing
chronic diseases. Numberless instances of
this fact, might be adduced.
A commodious ball room has been built ;
and ten pin.alley will also be constructed IN
due season. Fine hunting grounds with plenty
of game are in the vicinity: so that the lovers
of sport will be at no loss for amusements.
The subscribers will spare no pains. to rem
