Last week in our local columns we
mentioned that the "Ratliff Hotel is
now crowded all the time" This was
written as q local news item and not
With any idea sf ipipring the h0tel.
We had been under the impression that
no better compliment could be paid
hotel than to say that it was crowded
all the time. 1t seems, however, that
the manager of the "Ratliff HOTEL
does not hold the same view, and last
week he resented our statement by
publishing a>card in the Clinch Valley
News, in which he says; 1.-THE mana
ger of the Ratiifff Hotel wishes t9 state
That it is by ns means crowded 'all the
time' or at any time" 1T affords us
pleasure to make this fact known to
the public in the interest Of the hotel
in question, but we regret that Tazewell
has gone backward to such an extent
that it can care for the travelling public
