Additional Description: Olympian Springs,
Bath County, Ky. The Proprietor would announce to the public that this watering place is now open for the reception of visiters. He deems it unnecessary to say more at this time in regard to these Springs, as they are so well known as not to require it. — The present proprietor has had charge of them for a number of years, and leaves to those who have visited them while under his control to speak of the manner in which they are kept. It is sufficient to say that his best efforts will be devoted to the comfort, convenience and pleasure of all who may visit during the season.

Lines of Stages run daily from Lexingon, Maysville and Paris to Mt. Sterling, at which place comfortable Carriages are always kept in readiness by Mr. A. B. Wilkerson, to convey passengers to the Springs at $1.50 each.
