HOTEL Accommodations.

with any Town in the State.
Whatever else our beautiful city
confidently hold up our heads with
any city in the State as regards the
provision that we have for travellers,
pleasure seekers, or business or
haps, no other hotel in the State
that can provide better accomoda-
ton for its guests than can be had
at the Crescent Hotel in this

ely, while the beautiful and tasteful
ly arranged gardens that surround
the building, and which bloom un-
der the careful superintendent of
Mrs. Hahn, the worthy helpmate of
the genial manager of the hotel,
cannot be excelled; and visitors
while delighting their visual organs
with the pleasant prospect, lnhale
the glorious fragrance Of the sweet
scented flowers which adorn the
walks leading to the hotel.
But from a purely business point
is of immense advantage to Lafa-
yettc and the surrounding country.
Through its agency the principal
newspapers of the Union are dis

fellow mortals in foreign chimes. 1t
moreover gives regular employment
to about two dozen people all the
year round, while it distributes in
the city and surrounding coun-
try about $1,000 month on the
average. 1t has had as many as
and on the occasion of the Foster
Adams combine it found no diff
fieulty in accommodating and enter
tanning $50 persons without undu1y
taxing its ordinary help.
Now, all these results could only
be brought about by good manage
ment, and the prop1ietors of this
concern were wise in their choice
when they selected our esteemed
fellow-citizen, John Hahn, to fill
that very important position. No
better selection could have been
made. Mr.. Hahn is veteran in
the employ of this company since
its organization in 1852. He
served them well and ably in the
Junction House hotel, in Hearne
City, Texas and recognizing his
rare good qualities and business
ability, the company considered it
would be best consulting its own
interests by advancing him to this
position, and their predictions have
been fulfilled far beyond the most
sanguine hopes.
But Mr.. Hahn is not only a
veteran caterer. He is veteran
in the truest sense Of the word, in
the sense that endear him and all
who took part with him to the
hearts Of the people. For when the
South was oppressed, and our sunny
land was being laid waste by the
North, Mr.. Hahn was one of the
foremost to take up arms in her de-
fence, and nobly he fought with the
Third Mississippi regiment of the
Army of Tennessee, until he was
made prisoner and forced to
remain at Camp Chase, Ohio.
But that is now all forgotten, and
visitors from the North are cordial
ly welcomed by the genial host and
the hands of friendship extended
to them. Long may he and his
pleasant helpmate live to preside
over the destinies Of the Crescent
Hotel and provide entertainment
for hungry wayfarers and help and
sustenance for hundreds of our fell
w-Citizens.

SEPTEMBER RAINS.
lOroville Register.
Many recall other years when rains fell
in September, although as n rule the
month here is rainless one. In 1866,
according to that prince2of chronologists

and 9th of September, and in 1884 Sc
we're rain fell on the 9TH of that month.

much rain fell in September that they
had to discontinue logging at the Lump

the teams had all been sent to the valley,
the weather was fine for long time.
