evening after the entertainment, beg
to explain to their patrons why they

orders.

rooms on the first floor, with Office, read
ing room, lobby, dining room, kitchen,
etc., and two upper stories, completing
apartments for hotel, and which occu-
pies the corner site formerly held by the
old Oconee Inn, is assuming tangible
shape. A large force of hands is at

the handsomest buildings in the up
country will ornament the business
block. Being directly opposite and fac

BILE one for a hotel. Few of our people
understand and appreciate the mag

store room on the corner will be occu-
pied by Harper Brothers and will be used
for large stock of general merchandise.
The lower store room is now occupied by
j. A. Brock and in short while the Sc
neca Pharmacy will be moved into the
third. The three together, with front
entrance to hotel, will present hand
some front of iron and plate glass. The
lobby and Office floors will be tiled and
arrangements are being made for steam
heat. Electric lights, bat hs and tele-
