Cottonwood Springs.

COTTONWOOD SPRINGS, April H.
Greens and young unions are ripe.
1t is almost a certainty, just now,
that Hon. II. p. Warden will be the
brand new manager Of the Springs
this summer, with DIR. Geo. Brock a
fierce second. But owing to Mr.. War
denis wide acquaintance throughout
the Middle West, with Texas on the
side, II is almost a dead cinch that be
will get the much sought-for position.
DR.. Brock would make a warm mana
ger but Col W. r. Carter says he is
too slow, but a mighty good man, in
close touch with Bill Gregg and RUDE
Dill, two former managers, who made
fortunes out OF the management OF
this popular resort and are now living,
or trying to live, the good simple life.
Later.-Dr. Brock has pulled out"
of the race, and If no other good man
has the nerve to ask for the position,
Mr.. Warden has the call. Many are
called-few are chosen. We would
like very much to carry a lock Of a
mans whiskers who could defeat our
warm personal friend, Mr.. Warden.

"half sick,' we shall never again steT
our best foot into that elevator. The
new Ledger will probably be completed
by the 4th Of July.
