HorELs.-The proprietors of our Hotels will do
well to enlarge their accommodations much
possible for the present week. The city will be
crowded to pyeriiowing with visiters-so much 50
that capacities to accommodate, both public and
private will be put to a test We hear ofnum-
hers from almost every direction who are coming to
the Association and we may anticipate that Lynch
burg will be filled it never before In this
emergency extraordinary exertion should be made
by the managers OF our public houses to meet it
The present Hotel accommodations of the city will
not provide for one half of those who will come with
the intention of staying Hotels-so that the
sity of charging and expanding those accommoda-
tons to the farthest possible extent is obvious.
In this connection take occasion to suggest that
the present will be an excellent opportunity for the
exhibition of hospitality on the part of our citizens
generally, and we hope they will avail themselves of
it. Let the strangers who will then visit Lynehburg
be taken in and q cared for in such manner
as to impress them fvoraby with city and elicit
their good will and good words in its behalf.
The CouRT HousE.-We have been requested by
the Committee on Repairs at the city Court House to

animation for themselves.
