The city of Sulphur Springs contains about
5000 souls. It is beautifully situated on the divide between the
timber lands and prairie lands, with a good supply of wood and water
for all purposes.
Every religious denomination is represented by large commodious
church buildings, with a large church membership and some of the
ablest divines in the State of Texas. We have as fine legal talent
and as forceful bar as is in the state, with many industrial
enterprises at a great cost. Fine schools and a healthy city. The
moral tone of the town is exceptionally good. With good city and
county officials to enforce the law. Two large National Banks that
do a big business annually. The merchants and business men of the
town are all honest, upright and just men, enjoying the full
confidence of the trading public and do a large amount of business
yearly. We have electric lights, water works and the best sewerage
system in the state. The town is in a healthy, growing and
prosperous condition.
