NEW HoTEL.-Thc movement, just set
on foot, for the building Of fine hotel,
in this place, must commend itself to eve
ry one feeling an interest in the character
and prosperity of the city. Our town can
never rank according to its true impor-
lance, either at home, or abroad, until we
have hotel combining the modern con-
veniences and kept in style to which they
are accustomed, who have visited towns
and cities where the comforts and luxuries,
now become necessaries, are literally pro-
vidcd for transient and permanent board
ers. Ask any traveller you may meet, how
he likes such or such city, and nine out
of ten will signify their impressions by
speaking of the merits or dement's of the
hotels at which they boarded; and this
fact, trivial as it may seem, is powerful
argument in favor Of the movement under
consideration. Ask our merchants how
GAINESVILLE stands in the eastern cities,
and they will tell you that it stands high,
and would stand far higher but for the
want Of such hotel as the one now pro-
posed to be built, and our deficiency, in
this respect, is the subject of injurious
comment by all visitors from whatever
quarter. ...
We have Female Academy that is ia
king rank with the very first in the south
west; we have Male College, now being
placed upon basis Of progressive impor-
lance; there are parties in the South who
have sons and daughters to educate, and
would like to send both to the same town,
and spend portion of the summer with
them, could they live in the style of first
class hotel. Can they do that here?-
True, we have the schools and there the
inducements stop. But there is no use in
proving self-evident proposition. A fine
hotel would help all the interests of the
town-every body knows it yet nobody
seems TO care whether we have one or not.
But where are we to build it ? asks one,
who is looking out for individual benefit
from its location. So asks another and
another, and upon this single point hinges
an obstacle that may defeat the project
For our own part, we say build it any
where, so it is built, and such should be
the feeling of all. We want the hotel for
the whole town, and all who may visit it.
and not to benefit this mans property,
or that street, or this section. Let the
citizens interested in the movement, go for
its success, as leading object, resolved
that the locality shall interpose no Sc
rious obstacle. With this sort of spirit,
the work can be easily accomplished
without it, it will end in smoke as hereto
fore.
