-FLoRIDIAN Item Box Tallahassee must
have, before another season opens, a meeting of
all houSchOlders to consider the matter of accom-
m"daling the immense crowd that is sure to
come. We can't have that meeting too soon
Already our city is thronged with visitors, and
many of our good people have thrown open
their doors to accommodate them. There is a
lively demand for elegantly furnished rooms
and every one who intends to take boarders
should furnish their houses as attractively as
their tastes and means will permit Good rooms,
nicely furnished, will command good prices.
Prices have been offered this season that would
surprise people, and set all to thinking " is
there not money in it 2" One difficulty strangers
have is in finding private boarding houses where
they can get accommodated. No doubt many
would like to accommodate them bat are too
timid TO let it he known. Those who feel thus
should advertise in our local papers or they
NIGH leave addresses with f. w. Clark, our
popular news dealer, who doubtless would will
ingly open book for this purpose giving ad
dress, number that could be accommodated-with
rooms and board, or rooms without board-and
prices per day week anil month. More aJ0ut the
m|eting IN the future.
