From Mineral Wells.

Inc Oass, at TINS place, OF which
Mr.. w. s. Smith, also Of the Rog.
ers, is proprietor, has a large crowd
all the time. and our host feeds as
we'll and takes good care of US. In
my rounds the first night here |
pranced into the Hawthorn dancing
pavilion, not to dance, but simply to
loaf and look on. Very soon / was
aceosted by a polite young man who
+ informed me that it would cost me
one dime, ten cents, to occupy "A seat
within that dancing pavilion while
the dance was in progress. / was
already in before being informed Of
this fact and not wishing to leave
right at that particular moment for
fear some one would think / didn't
have the ten cents, | at once pro-
ceeded to dig up and held down my
seat az long | as cared to. All can
do now while listening to the music
aud watching the merry waltz is to
quently / have not visited that par
ticular place since the first night.
| am powerful on taking in all that's
free and last night there was adger-
tised comedy company at the sum-
mer theatre at popular prices and a
free moving picture snow at the
Saugcura Sprudei pavilion It did
not take me long to make UP my
mind which one 1 wanted to 90 to,
and that was the free one, of course.
The music, OF which there are
four or five bands, holding forth at
the different wells every night, to-
gether with the dancing and the gay
crowds and splendid water all serves
to give new life to sick, down heart
ed people and before you know it
you begin to feel better. Hundreds
come here invalids and 20 away
greatly benefited and many of them
we'll. For indigestion and rheuma-
tism this water is no doubt first
class, and am meeting people every
day who tell me, and love to do it,
of the wonderful benefits it has been
to them. | met one man from Mon (
tana suffering from Bright's disease
and he tells me he is getting we'll /.
This disease is considered incurable, /
yet many persons claim to have /
been entirely cured here of that
dread malady. A great many are
here from the low swampy lands of .
Louisiana some of them suffering /
this class of patients are soon re- /
heved and go back TO their homes /
well and happy. After seeing and .
hearing ali this have come to the /
conclusion that Mineral Wells IS a
great boon To suffering humanity .
aud the citizens of other states are .
realizing this fact as evidenced by .
the crowds here from many of the .
states other than Texas.
Mr.. Hobbs and his wife from near .
Ennis, one of Uncle Billie Chap /
mans daughters from near Red .
Oak, a young man, MIR. Johnson, 7
from near Waxahachie and Mr..
Goble from Ferris aud young .
groceryman from Ennis, are the cit +
izens from Ellis who are recupera-
ting here now, and all are pleased .
with the progress they are making .
and IL | can find enough free shows .
to go to from now on, l think my 1
chances for speedy recovery are 4
good.
ha no doubt that The Oaks Will .
get a good patronage since l have
published that Mr.. Smith takes care 4
of the men left with him, and looks
after their moral as we'll as physical (
welfare. l have heard since coming /
here that some such place was need
ed in Mineral Wells to take care of .
the ladies, bat / hardly believe it.
INNOCENCE.
