ton Of yisers under the entire management OF the
subscriber.
Great changes having been effected in this hotel,

For gentlemen's ordinary, for one week or more,
$40 so per week
Ladies do. IL rs do

The proprietor takes this method of informing his
friends and the public generally, that he has pur,
chased the entire stock of Newton Gadsby, and
that the business will in future be conducted by him
self in which he thinks cannot fail to give
satisfaction TO those who may honor him with their
company.
To his old customers and friends lac returns thanks
