improvements We hope to see every
body follow suit.

Who WILL KEEP THE HOTEL We
appeal to every enterprisng reader oil
the CAPIToLIAN, who knows how to
keep q hotel, that the finest opportunity
ever offered to make money, will pres
ent itself at the new Capital Of the State
on Saturday jane the 18th, proX., when
the Harvey House will be offered fol-
sale, to the highest bidder, for one-third
cash and the balance in one and two
years. The man who will have that
commodiOus hotel renovated and retit-
ted, and will keep it intelligently is
bound to make plenty of money. Begin
ming with the completion Of the Baton
Rouge branch of the n. O. Pacific road
the probable extra session OF the LeglS-
latur,e this fall, the regular business
season, then the regular meeting of the
General Assembly next May, the Harvey
House would be kept going all the time.
