Allen Court Visitors

The Geisslers, of Enid, Okla., who have spent three weeks at Allen Courts, are concluding their vacation, reaffirming their faith in the good fishing around Palacios.

Mrs. Geissler hung a 6 foot tarpon Wednesday morning while fishing in Tres Palacios bay. Mrs. Lewis Goss and mother, Mrs. L. H. Goss, of Rosenberg, spent Tuesday and Wednesday here fishing with the Geisslers and renewing their friendships. The Goss families were the first customers to stay at Camp Allen. They as well as the Geisslers are good boosters for Palacios fishing, having been here many times and all play to spend their vacation here next year and bring more people with them.

Mr. and Mrs. Walter Harris and Joe Krenek, E. Campo

20-Room Clyde Hotel Brought By Captain Chilton

One of the most important real estate deals that occurred in our city this week was the purchase of the 20-room Clyde Hotel on Main Street from E. L. Hardy by Captain F. B. Chilton.

Although Captain Chilton already owns several pieces of valuable property in Palacios, he is a man of remarkable vision and business acumen, who realized that our city has a great future and that it will not be long before property values here will be doubled or trebled, and for this reason he will continue to take all the bargains that come his way, even though he has to buy half of Palacios before he gets through.

He now wants some reliable, industrious, pains-taking man or woman to take charge of the hotel, and has a splendid proposition for the right party or parties.

Mrs. Enos, the new proprietor of the Frey house, has changed the name of this popular inn, and it will hereafter be known a the Lone Star Hotel--Palacios Beacon, February 24, 1911
 

Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Enos, the new proprietors of the Frey House, which is now known as the Lone Star Hotel, and who came here a few weeks ago from Victoria, celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary yesterday, at a special six o'clock dinner served to the guests of the house, and a few invited friends. The date was also the birthday anniversary of Mrs. Enos, and of which she was most happily reminded by some handsome and useful presents from members of the family and friends. Since taking charge of the hotel, Mr. Enos has been most busily engaged, remodeling, painting, papering and generally renovating the house, and now it is as neat, comfortable and inviting a hotel as can be seen anywhere. The enlarged office room is especially appreciated by all the guests both regular and transient. Mr. and Mrs. Enos are very greatly pleased with their new home, and with the city generally, and we can say from our own knowledge that Palacios and the coast country hasn't a more enthusiastic booster than Mr. Enos. Mr. E. is a northern man, from Nebraska, and an old newspaper publisher, and of course he is just a little lonesome in his new environment; but what really distresses him most is that he finds no republican party or even republican voters down here on the gulf coast to commiserate with him over the awful lambasting the democrats gave them last fall when they took possession of the government at Washington. However we comforted brother Enos with the assurance that a year's residence in the Gulf coast would in that time become one of the most unterrified democrats that ever held a public office. It was a pleasure which the Beacon editor and his wife much enjoyed to be among the guests at this most delightful anniversary dinner. May Mr. and Mrs. Enos enjoy many, many happy returns of the day.--Palacios Beacon, Friday, April 21, 1911
 

Hotel Wylie - Wylie House

It's just like old times to see Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Wylie again in charge of the well-known Wylie House. They were flooded out three times at Bay City--and the "charm" having lost its charm they came back to Palacios and to their old hotel. The new furnishings in the Bay City hotel were moved here to re-furnish the house, which makes it more attractive and comfortable than every before.
