For two months this new hotel build

very pleasantly furnished with very neat

in fact it contains all the things neces-
sary to we'll equipped dining room.
In the house there are about thirty
| five rooms, devoted to the public. One

large and airy bed rooms. Each OF these
rooms, which are furnished alike, is
model OF neatness. Ingram squares

Throughout, the house is lighted by
electricity. Every room has an electric
light, the halls are we'll Lighted and the
whole house can be said to be model OF
neatness and arrangement.
The owner of the building and the
proprietor Of the hotel is James Sander
don and he stated to Sentinel reporter
that he had invested in the hotel and it's
furnishings about $4,000. He says that
he believes he has filled long felt want
in the city and hopes to merit at least
goodly share of the hotel patronage of
the city.
He has selected as manager OF the ho-
tel Harry Ackerman who from the ex-
perence he has had in the mercantile
business in which he has grown to uan
h ood should make him well qualified and
equipped to be good steward and mod
ell boniface. The bar will have for its
manager j. c. Kelley who is so we'll
known that he needs no Introduction to
the public and is well able to manage
the bar with judgement and discretion.
The hotel is now open for the recep-
ton Of guests,
