Mr. Ed, T. LRUMEELLEE is hUstly engaged Ia
getting material together for the erection OF
lnagLincgnt hotel building on the site OF the od
Weaver Hotel corner OF Sagket and Fourth
street. II is calculated TO be the largest in this
iut &c the State. and wilbe flashed in first
,,t,a style. We wish Mr.. Dru,ahel.eg success in
hts undertaking, and hope he may, after !! Is
completed, be well compensated for his enterprise
HoEsrs to rent are very scarce in thi. place.
Those having houses to rent have no trouble in
getting good tenants, anlat good prices. 1t is a
great wonder to Us that more members Of the
Building Association do not build houses for
themselves, instead Of paying the L-h rents that
.rcupw cEtctet. Any member Owning five shares,
ard having enough money saved up to purchtss
a lot. can ret enough ont oCthese associations to
bai.d quite snug little home, aud al! he would
have to pay in the association would be ten dol
lars each month, uui at the end Of eight or ten
years IA, would have his home pail for, whereas
D. .H, now pay ten dollars tog rent, and at the
emit OF that time they will have nothing. Oar
mechanics never had a better chance than at PIE
@rnt to secure Tor themselves comfortable homes,
ana we feel couyincei if many Of them fully un-
.nrstooi the working OF these associations they
would build houses instead Of reDtiDg them.
