It was learned today that Dr. and Mrs. L. A. Wilcox who recently leased the new City Hospital building where the Doctor will have his Diagnostic Clinic, will arrive in Palacios, Feb. 13th where they will make their home. Dr. Wilcox was here 10 days ago finishing plans for his clinic and making final arrangements at the hospital. For several years they have anticipated a move to the Texas Gulf Coast and the opening of the new hospital climaxed their decision. The Doctor is one of the best educated physicians in Memphis and Palacios is fortunate to have him to operate the hospital. The Doctor has purchased Dr. Guffy's brick home on the bay which the latter recently purchased from Manuel Glaros. Plans are being made to redecorate the home and considerable changes are to be made in the yard and surroundings. Dr. Wilcox intends to move into his new home immediately.
