A NEED.-Among the urgent
needs of Brennan may be men
toned q first-class hotel building
suited TO the wants of the city. Ii
is true we have hotels-wcll kept
ones, but the buildings are wholly
unsuiLod tor the purpose. What Is
wanted is modern hotel building
of 80 or 40 rooms, constructed
with all the conveniences for com
fort and the proper conducting of
the business. Good hotel buildings
and wcll-kepL houses arc very
scarce in Texas, and q real good
hotel is one of tho best advertise
ments any young city can have.
Could not a stock company be
formed and a frst-class hotel
built? it would certainly pay a tar
interest on the Investment.

tiers on this side Of the line did moi
attend, but the Republican owls
thought they had Il fine thing,
They were beautifully sold out.

kets. Every property owner

roads. There is not the slightes
occasion for Brennan 10 vast,
