 Recently many people have com menced going to the springs again and wagon road is being opened direct from Mena. Last Friday a party of gentlemen were up from Texarkana to investigate and arrange comfortable quarters for their families during the summer and last evening party ar rived from Shreveport on the same errand.
 These people propose to bring their with Landlord Cramer of the railroad eating house here to put up large dining tent and furnish meals to the entire party. The Texarkana crowd guarantee fifty for the season and ex- pect fully 200 and as many more will come from Shreveport and other southern towns
 It is expected that by another season cottages will be built and these springs become popular health and summer resort
