THE NEBRASKA SALOON
AND RESTAURANT.
A GARD TO THE PUBLIC.

Since have succeeded to the sole
management of the above popular
House, it has been my constant aim to
make it a place Of agreeable resort
for the business classes and visitors
generally. No pains or expense have
been spared to place my establish
ment on a footing that will bear favor
able comparison with the most fash
ionable and best regulated saloons in
the Southwest. How far have been
successful in my efforts to Nplease all,
can be best attested by the recent
handsome improvements the muni6-
cent patronage I have received has
enabled me to perfect, and for which
l return grateful acknowledgements
to one and all.
Having secured the services of
Messrs. DowNER and H1NsoN, both
clever, popular and experienced men
at the business, think | risk nothing
in saying that the public will in fu-
ture, as heretofore, find the Nebraska
conducted on plan such as to chal-
lcHSC duillll uUAoll SAu COlltlllullu d COL
tinuance Of that generous support
hitherto extended by an approaching
community.
The flattering success that has
crowned my efforts of late, has deter
mined me to increase the "area of my
usefulness" and I take pleasure in in
forming the public that l shall, as soon
as can perfect a few preliminary ar.
engagements, open RESTAURANT
on a scale that will do credit to Mon
roe. A good RESTAURANT is an essen
tial adjunct to public saloon such
as the Nebraska, and the choice things
that will abound in the various APP
pointments Of the one, will find a coun-
tcrpart in the other.
The want Of a public Eating Saloon
has long been felt here, and the grow
ing Importance Of Monroe, added to
the now fixed fact, that we are soon
to have the Railroad completed to this
point, impcrativcly demands that
something should lie done to meet the
wants of the hundreds and thousands
that will be thrown in our midst; and
it would be notifying indeed to have
it cast up to us by criticising strang-
crs that the boosted capital Of North
Louisiana cannot so much as afford a
coup of warm coffee" or dish of
cham and eggs" to the weary and
hungry traveller. This must not be:
and as far as my humble abilities will
permit, | am determined to contribute
my share towards sustaining the rep
utation of the town, by providing
suitable means of comfort to those
who may visit us.
Again do | return thanks for the
kind encouragement have received,
which has enabled me to rcfit and en-
bcllish the Nebraska in its present
sumptuous style; and to the fine jndg-
ment, taste and skill of Mcssrs. Lister
