Improving Palace Hotel.

]. c. Reynolds, the genial mine host
and enterprising citizen, is improving
the Palace Hotel with the installment
of new carpets and new beds. Mr..
Reynolds placed an order this week for
forty p-to-the-second handsome brass
bedsteads, one for each room and two
for the double rooms complete. New
carpets are to be laid also and the hotel
is to be practically refurnished through
out. The Palace is one of the best
hotels in the South, and its growing
patronage is an indication of its popu-
larity. The register shows larger list
of guests than many of the best hotels
In the cities, and Mr.. Reynolds expects
to keep it up to the highest standards.

For Summer Music.

Gentlemen: Let's talk some real
business band talk and see if we can
get the people interested. Our little
city will dry up and blow away this
summer without the concerts in the
park, evenings. Plenty band material
here for a good one. All that is neces-
sary is to reorganize the faithful, make
up enough money to pay them for their
services, and | feel more than certain
that the band will earn it. Let me
mention few points which have pos
sibly not been called to the minds Of
many. Good instruments cost high,
good music costs from so cents to 81. 80
piece for full band. The boys practice
hard two or three nights week in some
small hot room, then play the concert,
thereby denying themselves the privi-
lege of any other entertainments or even
the association of their friends, parents,
brothers, sisters, or sweethearts. This
is no small sacrifice if you will think of
it, while the public is at liberty to 60
where and when they please. If | may
have the pleasure of contributing what
time and talent / have toward making
a good band l shall do my very best
and will subscribe literally in addition
to my services rendered.
Yours for band,
S. d. WoosLEY.
