We understand that W. d. Strong in
tends to move his hotel up to the Adams
block. about where the Adams store
lately stood This will help to improve
the looks of the place, so badly disfgured
by recent fires, and will be the proper
location for the hotel which is a credit
to our town both in appearance and in
the way it is conducted The travelling
public speak in the highest terms of the
Hotel Strong, and W. d. deserves the
highest praise for his enterprise in build
ing such structure and running it as a
hotel in the interest of our village. Other
places of five times the size have none
to compare with this one and he should
be encouraged and assisted III the re.
moval if necessary for the best Interests
OF our village.
