Of course, all wbo were so fortunate
as to get that little notice were only too

ednesday morning there were car
ruges arid wagons filled with Carltons,
Sibleys and Hans, on their way to that

Mineral Springs.
Some fair day, an enterprising yan

comedown here and see the immense
advantages awaiting him in the devel
opment of these same springs. There
will be a railroad built over the seven
intervening miles between
