opened a House of Entertainment at Lronn which he is determined shall not
be surpassed by any other in the State of Texas. Having travelled much himself

are the comforts to be found at a well spread Table and a comfortable Bed he is de-
termined that no pains on his part shall be spared to give satisfaction to those who
may patronise him ; and while the traveller h enjoying these comfoits he may rest
assured that his Horse will not be neglected. His Stable will be in charge under
his own inspection of a faithful and experienced hostler who will be amply pro-
vided with the best qnality of Corn grown on old ground Hay and Fodder. From
the care and attention that will bo bestowed on this cstablUbment by himself his

the business they will from this time on keep it supplied with the

ulated bars usually keep on hand. I have also disposed of my (Di-
van) Restaurant formerly attached to the Houston House which is
now being fitted up in magnificent style the Hall above for a Billiard
iSaloon and the lower part a splendid Bar Eating and Club Room.
This building is rented and will be kept by a gentleman .who knows
his business well thus confining myself hereafter to the legitimate
business of Hotel keeping will be enabled to give my visitors my per-
sonal attention and will use all reasonable efforts to give entire satis-
faction. My House is situated in the very centre of the business part
of the city and only one square from the steamboat landing. All the

will continue the same as formerly 01 25 cts. per day and I wish
your patronage. no42;24t ISAAC THAYER.
