Ishare of the patronage
 Normally the spa has precious few knockers That's SO far as tue nice
 sets in all the nice cities is con
 cerucd. Our truly wonderful winter
 climate is well known. Our remark
 able waters are famous the world over. in fact. less than d month ago Frederick J. flaskin, one ol the fore most magazine writers on general topics in the United States placed
 our waters first in the list he pre-
 pared and included in the waters enumerated below those flowing fright here were those in Carlsbad,
 Baden Baden and all other gener- ously advertised foreign resort cities, as well as other noted American springs bucking the Hot Springs waters
 At little gathering of Hot Springs linen few winters ago l well recall | a few words embraced in a happy little ia k delivered by the most es- unable Dr. J. C. Minor. God and | the government nave been very good to Hot Springs quoth pr. Minor at the time. The longer We are on our assignment here the more forcibly IDr Minors clever saying appeals to us. Not only have God and the gov ernment been good, very, very good, ] to Us, but the public as wei has been most indulgent.
 Loyal to our position, we also feel Itnat the hotels have been very good to the spa. The entire country can | not boast of better or better kept Ihoste'ry than the Arlington. We | have heard more than one good trav- eer say it comes first among all the resort hotels in the country Many | say that the Arkansas Hot Springs had q very dull summer and some | are morose enough to prophecy that eur forthcoming season. is going to be miserably dull and very unprotit- able
 still the Arlington manasement
 mas spent a small fortune in further bt autlying the hostelry. The East man hote& now the possessor of a most palatal bath house, has also been generously redecorated and fur ther improved and will fairly sparkle in the radiancy of its new attire when it is again thrown open to the tourists.
 As already remarked, the Lest Of the folks coming south this W nter are perfectly willing to come to ehe | Arkansas Hot Springs, The element planning upon remaining away, and saying that the spa vii nevsr cNperi euce anoter "s,ason of pr -pcr.ty, is precisely the element that all good citizens and ala folks with money invested sincerely hope never do come back
 Hot Springs has risen to it's proper level. 1t now takes rank with the comtrys premier resort cities. The Iultra swell folks of al the biz north ern. eastern and western cities, not l to forget our smart southern cousins,
 come here for their winter pleasure | because we have the climate, the
 water, the hotels the walks and ! drives. the scenery the golf, and kin drcd legitimate amusements.
 No resort city in the land ever
 gave such a long succession of smart
 balls as were put on in the beautiful bal rooms of the Arlington and East. man hotels last season" In reality there was dainty dance every night. never less than two special formal functions weekly. And music,
 too. concerts of unusual brlhance in the rotuudas of the two stylish hos telrios thrice dai y-mOrnins, alter noon and evening
 Each new year finds a new palace
 ou bath house row. Colona Fordyce,
 the most beloved man in all Arkan-
 sas, who has done such yeoman ser
 vice in the development of Hot | Springs, is now expending some $250-
 000 in fitting up Ais palace in the exact center of the row. Though manned on either side by bath houses Of rare masnificeuce, erected in late years at tIe cost of fortunes Colonel Fordyees property, the
 Palace. which vii be formally opened around the holidays. will be
 the most pretenuous of all; in fact
 t will be the most costly and com
 plete Of its kind in the country, ii
 not in the world
 Then. We are to have a Great
 White Way Work on the highway
 between Hot Springs and Little
 Rock Is also being rushed; in fact is
 nearing completion Those are the . things that will bring the spa back i into its own
 s The links of the Hot Springs Coll and Country Club. which are rapidly I becoming nationally famous. art forming the biggest kind of an adver tisement for our fair city It Is onl, the man who doesn't know. and can not understand but wno puts golf II first place in the list Of sports.
