Point Pleasant


Point Pleasant
Is a place noted for its hospitality,
but selfish and ungenerous. After
getting off the Andes to spend Sun
day we saw four WORTHLESS on the
bank with a bottle. That was a
strange sight on Sunday, but they
neglected to even ask us to join
the PROCESSION.
OLD FASHIONED SHADE TREES
Are a marked attraction in this his
toric city, as there are many charm
ing homes where real old trees and
beautiful shrubery which make a
pleasing sight to the stranger, who
is delighted at being in the shade
SO much, while walking on pave
ments in various parts of the city.
MOST AFFABLE CLERK.
Miss Teresa FULLY, formerly clerk
in the we'll known Stortz House,
Point Pleasant, has occupied that
position for two years. While it is
a novel feature in hotel life to see q
young lady in charge of the Office,
the idea is an excellent one, as the
presence of refined, gentlewoman
will prevent the lounger from max
ing the country tavern head quar-
ters. Miss Tully, although quite
young, has shown remarkable bust
qualifications, being attentive to
guests and always gentle and dig
nified in her department towards
everyone. She is the only lady
clerk in hotel in the State; and
now that her relative, Mr.. r. w,
Sterling, the former genial proprie-
tor of the Stortz House, has retired
from that business, Miss Tully has
left a position whore she has made
many friends by her ladylike dispo-
sition.
SWEET LITTLE GIRLS.
Little Helen Howard and Little
Bessie Laidly contributed much to
the pleasure of our visit to Point
Pleasant. We hope sometime to be
able to reciprocate the attention Sc
gracefully shown us by these sweet
little girls.
SIX YEARS OLD.
Mr.. r. w. Sterling was more than
six years in control of the popular
Stortz House, Point Pleasant, and
during that time he has made many
friends who regret he has quit hotel
life. This gentleman was always
anxious to please his guests and he
succeeded admirably because no
pains or expense was spared in &C;
complishing that object. TheS torfz
House, theIeading hotel here, has
had many noted people in it as
guests, so that mine host Sterling,
has entertained worthless from vari-
GUS sections. IL will seem strange
for this affable gentleman TO be a
retired citizen after six years life in
the Stortz House. "Dick, as mum.
erous friends call Mr.. Sterling, will
be missed as landlord, but he can
have the qualification of knowing
that he has given satisfaction to an
exacting public. His ten years
hotel experience in Weston gave
him large acquaintance, and It's a
notable fact that he took the great.
est pleasure in making the traveller
feel at home as soon as he came un-
der his hospitable roof. One cause
of his merited success was that Mrs
Sterling managed the culinary de-
partment, and in fact, all that per
tanned to the domestic affairs so adj
vantageously. This lady being an
expert cook and good house
keeper knew how work should be
done and she saw that it was
promptly carried out. Mr.. Sterling
remains citizen of Point Pleasant
which is pleasure to his many
friends who wish him prosperity in
his life as merchant. Hundreds
of travelling men will miss his
cordial greeting, but they will see
him frequently as he is in business
just across the street.
A SUPERIOR MANUFACTURING CITY.
This will always be superior
manufacturing city as its shipping
facilities are excellent by rail and
river, all points being reached from
here. The coal is brought by rail
and millions of bushels come on the
Ohio and Great Kanawha rivers.
GOD WILL BLESS THEM.
The noble men and women who
work SO zealously in the two mis-
sions will be blessed by their God
in their noble efforts to save souls
