Mr.. J. S. Noel. of Mooringsport,
was in the city Thursday and had IN
his possession the plan for the new
hotel to be built at that beautiful
town on the lake.
This hotel will be convenient,
roomy and cool, supplied with all the
modern conveniences and appliances
of a hotel in the large cities.
It will contain about twenty rooms,
all arranged to catch the breeze, with
nice, wide galleries encircling it tor
promenading in the Summer, and
nails equally as convenient tor the
same purpose when the Win'ers
blasts drive one indoors.
This structure wiz pe two .torie.

system of water works, with batl
rooms attached to the hotel. L
will likewise have music hall be-

The PROGRESS thinks deserves the
earnest consideration Of our citizens.
These have recently, and that in a
very earnest manner, shown great zeal
in our city's behalf and we believe
they will do so again. OF course
they are prudent enough enough
to weigh all matters for themselves
and this eminentlY correct. But
for this policy they would not be the
successful business men they have
proven themselves to be. But we be-
lieve they will take this matter under
investigation, inquire into it and II
they find things even onehaIf SO
good as our informant pictures them,
thew will either raise the S15,0tW or
induce some one or a company to
come and set IN snch a fac Org. La
fact the latter plan would be the bet
4er one, bringing in as it would out
