INDIAN SPRINGS, BUTTS CO. The subscriber, Proprietor of the Indian Springs Hotel, for the last two years, would most respectfully inform his friends and patrons of this State, of South Carolina, Alabama, and its vicinities, that he has at a great expense, erected a splendid HOTEL, under the above name, for the ample accomodation of visitors during the approaching season. The House will be opened on the 20th day of May next. The McIntosh House is in depth 250 feet by 42 wide—contains between 70 and 80 large and airy rooms, together with three spacious Drawing Rooms and a splendid Ball Room; large and wide Piazzas extending around the Hotel—making it what has so long been desired at this Spring—one of the largest and most commodious Hotels ever erected at any watering place in the Southern country. During the last two seasons there has been much complaint for want of more accommodations for the hundreds that daily flock to this well known and justly celebrated watering place. This season there shall be no reason of complaint for want of accommodations, or indeed any thing connected with this establishment. The McIntosh House will accommodate over four hundred persons: Neither pains or expense have been spared in furnishing and fitting up the House so as to render it truly a house for all who may favor it with their patronage. The furniture is all new and of the most sterling kind, having been made up to order for this establishment. The location of the McIntosh House is on the brow of the McIntosh Hill, overlooking the Spring, for many years the residence of the celebrated Col. McIntosh, of the Creek nation, so well known and associated in the Indian history of our country. The subscriber, therefore, flatters himself that in order, comfort, and systematic arrangement, the McIntosh House shall not be surpassed; and hopes from his continued exertions to please, he may secure a share of the public patronage.
