IT IS COMPLE
The MeckIenburg Hotel
is a Thing of
Beauty.

The Mecklenburg, Chase City, Va,
July 3.-The season has opened here
with a large gathering of the first
people of North Carolina and Virginia
and a number of people from other
States. The season promises to be the
most successful in the history of the
hotel as a resort, and is already the
most successful in its history as q
sanitarium. There are good reasons
for the progress of the MecklenburS,
first of all being that the total number
who have been registered as guests
here has naturally increased, and
every one of these has gone away to
declare the Mecklenburg the finest
hotel in the South. There is no doubt
that it is the most perfectly conducted
hotel in this section of the country
and the great advantage of the won
derful waters being free to guests Of
the Mecklenburg makes clincning
argument that may be put forward.
Some wonderful cures have been eff
fected here, but chief of all evidence
In favor of the Mecklenburg is the
fact that every guest, whether here for
pleasure rest or health, e. eS away 4
healthier and happier person.
1t is probable that no one hotel in
the entire South is so thoroughly
equipped with every convenience and
facility for its own use. The Meek
lenburg, with its magnificent hotel ac-
commodatiOns, it's sanitarium depart
ment, lithia and calcium springs its
electric lighting and power plant pri-
vate stables filed with fine-bred riding
and driving horses kennels full of fine
hunters, golf links of excellent proper
tons bowling alleys and other
amusements, ice and refrigerating
plants, steam laundry, local and long
distance telephone, telegraph and post
office in the hotel furnishes everything
desired to its guests
The famous Baruch baths here are
the only ones in the South. Dr. Ba-
ruch was a South Carolinian, sur
geon in the Confederate army, who
went to New York to live after the
war; and whose ability was recognized
by the world on account of this Won
derful bath which bears his name. Dr..
j. G. Walton, the resident physician at
the Mecklenburg, was student under
DR.. Baruch in the administration OF
these baths, and DIR. Walton has ut
Chase City every facility desired in the
most modern of sanitariums.
The Mineral Water Department is
one of the busiest branches of this in
stitution. Manager Hartman is ship
ping the full supply of the ChA1ride
of Calcium water and immense guam
titles Of the lithia. These waters have
constantly grown in popularity as their
health giving properties have become
known.
A popular North Carolinian, A. j.
Cooke, is now manager of the hotel
Mr.. Cooke is known to the best peo-
pie of North Carolina, probably more
generally and more favorabiy than any
other one hotel man on account OF his
extensive experience as manager of
resort hotels in this State. He has
never managed more ideally located,
appointed and furnished hostelry than
the Mecklenburg.
A the head Of the company owning
the various interests here is Col. w. T.
Hughes, of Lou sburg. n. c.. who SUI
pervises the management of the vari-
Gus departments and to his untiring
efforts is due a great deal of the credit
for the progress made by this enter
prise.
The large number of prominent peo-
pie from North Carolina who have
already engaged rooms, and the num-
Der who have inquired for rates dur
ing the past few days, assures ne
most delightful crowd that has ever
been gathered here.
