mess (Which are daily increasingly haVe' {
within the recent past, added greatly 10
the general business, and it is thought
by the moro sanguine that when tne
locking and damming of the Kentucky

Having never been inspector ot Puoiic
buildings / am probably not wise
critic in such matters, but it seems 10
me that it would be more in accordahce
with Kentucky's reputation as wealthy
state if the buildings about her state
house and her governors mansion were

Frankfort is we'll supplied with gooa
schools, several charitable instltutions'
.ubstantial churches of every denoml'
nation, and two or three firstclass hoteis'
and in regard to the latter. l kno"
whereof speak when say that the po'te
and courteous attention of Messrs. Ca
