guests; has none but trustworthy SER
wants, and, to say it all and quit, he
keeps the hotel in first-class style in
every respect. Although less than four
months since opening out under the
present management il is already a
very popular hotel and is doing "a fine
business.
r.. Z. Rowe X Bro. have issued a
proclamation, giving notice to their
customers that they will, on and after

chase their fall stock, which will he the
largest ever brought 10 the Green River
country. Try the cash plan, and see il
you don't profit 10y il.
