The completely metamorphosed

The completely metamorphosed
Commercial Hotel, formerly the
Coyne House, corner of Main and
Sixth streets, was formally opened
to the public on Wednesday after
noon and evening last. Hundreds
of our townspeople visited the ho-
tel, and were courteously shown
through the establishment by the
new owner and proprietor, c. ].
Weaver. The general concensus of
opinion, after such inspection, was
that the Commercial takes no sec
ond rank among Honesdalefs fine
hostelries, all of it's appointments
being not only absolutely new, but
of the latest style and finish, and
certain to meet the requirements
of the most fatidious taste. The
gentlemanly Office clerk, James w.
Baker, whose many years service
in a similar capacity at the Allen
House, has made his name a house
hold word among the travelling
public, will greet the patrons of
the hotel with all of his old time
courtesy; and all other departments
of the Commercial will be found to
be in competent and experienced
hands We reserve a detailed de-
scriptit n of this new candidate for
popular patronage and favor for a
future article.
There will be special meeting of
the Baptist congregation on Sunday
morning following the sermon by Rev.
George S. Wendell. Come and give
him a cordial greeting.
1t must be annoying to correspon-
dents to find their items marred by the
occasional misspelling of proper names.
But they have only themselves to blame
when blemishes of this sort occur. We
do our best to decipher every thing SUBJ
mitted to us but when names are in
volved, or figures obscure, it is clearly
beyond our power TO correct all mis-
takes. Thsis the 'steenth time we have
called attention TO this trouble, and sim
cerely hope it NAV be the last.
