A GOOD HOTEL.

Just one word more about the s. A. L.
Hotel here. gentleman recently told
me that some time ago he was dining
with party of gentlemen at Delmonico'
New York. The conversation turned on
the subject of good hotels when a gentle
man from Boston said: II think the
best meal l ever ate in my life was a.
railroad eating house in a little place
called Hamlet down in the sand nils cf
North Carolina. This hotel is run by T.
Gresham and J. M. Jamison. w. Fl. II.
Bagwell Jr., is their clerk, always at
his post, affable, agreeable alert, and at
tentive to every want of the guest Any
information wanted is on his tongues
end, and he will repeat it over and over
without in the least ruffiing his temper"
Gresham and Jamison are natural born
hotel men, They first began the hotel
business as els IS for G. Gresham, who
runs the railroa~ eating house for the
Southern at Charlotte. They started out
on their own hook by running an eating
house and lunch counter at Monroe, and
when Hamlet became a stopping point
for meals in 1895, they opened their pres
ent establishment here Here they es-
tablished their reputation which has not
only become Statewide but national At
forwards they opened an eating house at
Chester, S. c., and then one at Greensboro
at the Southern depot When the consol-
idation of the Seaboard was affected Nor
lima became a stopping point for dinner
and the fine large building erected there
was naturally enough turned over to these
young men who had become so famous.
| asked Mr.. Jamison the secret OF their
success He said that it was personal and
unceasing attention to every minutest de-
tail and utter disregard of the cost of
ANYTHING in season likely to be wanted,
and having it served in the most approved
style. Nothing but the very best finds
it's way on to their tables. They have
no high priced cooks coming from foreign
countries with long diplomas, but they
themselves know how it ought TO be done,
stand in the kitchen while the food is be-
ing prepared and in the dining room while
It is being served, allowing nothing to
escape. their attention,
Personal application and unceasing at
tention is the secret of success in all lines
of business.

TOWN IMPROVEMENTS.

There has been QUILT an ice plant or
twenty-five tons capacity, and it is
claimed to be one of the best equipped
in the State.
The Pintsch Gas Company has a branch
plant here. The object of the plant is
to gas the trains. The only other plants
on the system are located at Jackson
vile, Savannah, Atlanta and Washing
ton.
j. A. Williams has a very fine planning
mill and is now putting in machinery
fer sash. door and blinds. 1t is splendidly
equipped and up-to-date in every re-
spect.
There are between sixty and seventy
new buildings either just completed or in
| process of construction. Almost every
day a new one is begun. The sound of
the hammer and saw is heard in every
direction.
The constitution and articles of incor-
| poration of the Peoples Perpetual Build
| ing and Loan Association of Hamlet, N.
| c. have today been drafted, and, from
| the way they are being signed and the
| stock taken it looks like all the bust
| ness men of the town will take stock.
| The object Of this association is to pro-
mote building and improvements of home
/
| aging investments and savings deposits.
/ The capital stock is limited to five thous-
and shares. This will give an even great
er impetus to the building fever

electric light system to be operated by
this water power. Mr. NJ. c.. Freeman
acting as agent for Sanders, has con

Hamlet has seventeen good business

boarding houses.
MIR. E. A. Lackey has donated q site for
| school building, besides giving nearly one
| thousand dollars for this purpose and by
the fall there will be a good school. The
town voted on the question of special
| tax, but it was defeated. This prompted
this public spirited citizen to make the
generous offer, and others will follow
Lis example. The defeat OF the tax viii

of the people of this hustling town wher
they are brought face to face with INC

will be all the better. The tax on prop.

1t is believed by cannerymen in a

complete the deal.
According to the terms of the options
the cannerymen can go ahead with all
arrangements for the coming seasons
pack and the new organization will
assume all contracts and debts II the
transfer is made before the season is
over, One reason for the delay is that
