A. Goddard and wife, of this
paper, had the good fortune to spend
Saturday night, Sunday and Sunday
night, at Wildwood Springs, which
under the management Of w. P.
Barnhill has attracted large number
of boarders during the last season and
is fast coming to the front as one of
the best summer resorts of this sec
ton, many wonderful cures being
brought about by the water. We
+ believe 1t has had more boarders and
did better business than any of the
other resorts. Mr.. Barnhill and wife
take charge..of the Sam Houston Inn
during the winter season. This
means that this Inn will continue to
be first class hotel in every respect
as Mr.. Barnhill is a courteous gentle
man and also knows how to give a
good square meal at popular prices.
We wish him even greater success
than he has had at Wildwood.
