TEXAS HOTEL,
[SIGN OF THE SINGLE STAR,]

MATAGORDA.
 

Daniel Elam, respectfully informs his friends and the public of Texas, as well as strangers travelling to and from the United States, that having purchased that large and commodious Establishment, lately occupied by Messrs. Goodwin & Alford, the premises have undergone a general and thorough repair, together with various additions and alterations--and he pledges himself that no pains or expense has been spared, to render it as comfortable as any Hotel of the kind now in Texas.

His TABLE will be furnished with every thing that the country can afford; and having made arrangements to have fowarded from New Orleans regular supplies of

Provisions, Luxuries & Liquors,

of all kinds suited for a Public House, to be prepared and served up under the direction of an able and experienced person, he hopes to render that satisfaction to his friends, which may ensure him a generous continuance of their custom.

--> The BEDS and BEDDING of the Establishment are entirely new, and will not fail to afford the best satisfaction to those who may favour the House with their patronage.

A New and Extensive Stable,

is connected with the Texas Hotel, where Horses will be provided with good CORN and HAY, together with the very best of attendance by experienced Hostlers.

He has also fitted up a SPLENDID BAR, which is and will be furnished with the most choice

Wines, Liquors, Cordials, Segars, & c.

and in fact nothing shall be wanting, on the part of the subscriber, that can be procured, to render every comfort to those who may favor him with a call; and he hopes, from his assiduous attention to business, to share a liberal portion of public patronage.

Matagorda, Sept. 27, 1837.

N. B. The subscriber wishes to hire four or five good HOUSE SERVANTS, for which liberal wages will be given.   D. E.
