House. He has Thoroughly over.
hauled the house, replastering, lay

various improvements that will en-
able him to cater to the best of trade.
The house is conveniently located to
the depot and warehouses. He has
expended over $500 in repairs out
side of furnishing and is deserving of
a liberal patronage from all classes,
and tits safe to say he will ultimate
y secure his proportion, without a
doubt. +. -.
The third largest expense in re-
pairs is that of j. H. Cakes of the
Western. He has put in, "a sewer
nearly the whole length of block at
his own expense. He re.arranged
his house in many ways that are ad-
vantageous to himself and add to the
convenience and comfort Of the pub
lie. The house was thoroughly re-
novated from top to bottom this
spring, and is conveniently located to
the largest business portion of the
city. In making repairs over $500
was expended. Mr., Oakes has been
in the business for some years and
spares no pains to make his patrons
comfortable and at home.
The last but not least is the Lake
View, operated by the genial land
lord G. G.. Allen, who had the house
re-arranged, making It more roomy
and pleasant and increasing the ca
pacity. This house has been crowd.
ed since the closing of the Worthing
ton during which time it has won an
enviable reputation that will insure
a permanent and substantial patron
age. The house is very pleasantly
located, being nearest the lake.
Over $500 was expended in the re-
pairs Of this hotel. @..s 5 Il
