of the mineral wells. a new health resort
which is creating some excitement, located
some miles distant in Palo Pinto county

ton of some 800 inhabitants.

cesslbc from MiIlSap on the Texas and Pa
cific railroad, at which points regular hack
lines MAKE prompt connection with all the
trains also from Weatherford, from which

great that certain capitalists have deter
mined To erect n magnificent hotel OF lou
ROOMS b, fore the next season opens, and
the Mineral Wells of Palo Pinto are no
