The Athol Transcript has the fol-
lowing notice concerning a former
popular landlord of the American
House: The statement in several
papers that Landlord Reed of the
Commercial House has disposed of his
interest in the hotel and will be sue
ceeded by G. Il. Ames of Suncook,
N. H., is somewhat premature. No
deal has been made, though Mr.. Reed
has given terms and they may be &C
cepted. We understand that Shell
burne Falls people are very anxious
that he should return to the hotel
there. His retirement from the Com
mercial will be heartily regretted, as
he and Mrs. Reed have made it
thoroughly popular hotel. and they
have identified themselves with local
life in a way that has added to the
respect and affection for them. Mr..
Ames, who may succeed Mr.. Reed, is
hotel keeper of long experience, and is
highly recommended.
