Nacogdoches and Waco Stage Line

The undersigned take this method of informing the traveling public that they
have obtained the contract for a tri-weekly line of four horse Mail Coaches,
from Nacogdoches via Rusk, Palestine, Fairfield, Springfield to Waco, and will
put the same in operation on the FIRST DAY OF JULY next.  Connecting as this
route does, at Nacogdoches, with the Alexandria and Shreveport Stages and at 
Waco with the Dallas and Austin line Stages; and being too the shortest and
most direct route from Red River and Eastern Texas to Austin, gives it superior
advantage over any other route from Red River, or Eastern Texas to Austin.  We
have procured good NINE PASSENGER Coaches, good teams and shall have none but 
the best and most reliable kind of drivers on the route.  And hope to receive
that patronage which the locality and accommodations of the route justifies.
Our days of departure from each end of the route, price of fair, &c will be 
made known in a short time.  
  The Stage Office at Palestine will be kept at the Osceola Hotel.
