4 New aud Larger Hotel to BE Erected
Soon.
Several New Residences in Course
of Construction on Seminary
Avenue.

Will at present leave the SUBJECT,
heartily endorsing what you have
said and commencing it to the
thoughtful consideration of our peo-
pie; knowing that if we do not avail
ourselves of the grand opportunities
now presenting themselves, and ap-
preciate our unparalleled advant-
ages, we will soon be forced to yield
to others more appreciative, and lose
to ourselves and our posterity a
glorious heritage that needs only
the hand of energy and enterprise to
be put forth to grasp 1T. Let us have
faith in ourselves and our capabili-
ties and our country and its posi-
bilities; let us invest our surplus
capital at home, and see the smoke
of hundreds of factories all over our
sunny Southland, and The new CEN
tury will usher in an era of pros
perity never before seen, and one
that no adverse legislation can cir
cumvent.
A new and larger hotel is now one
of our near probabilities, the growth
of the town demanding it. Just who
the parties proposing to build are,
we as yet have not been reliably in
formed, but learn it will be by our
home people.
