ALL INTERESTED IN &
CONTROL OF HARPER
People Realize What a First Glass
HOstelry Means to
City.

The disposition of the Harper house
property is a matter of concern. There
is nothing in any community that
means SO much to the welfare and the
reputation of locality as first class,
well regulated hotel, such as the Har.
per has always been from the day it
was opened by its enterprising builder,
the late Ben Harper. up to the pres
ent moment.
Hence it is natural that the people
here should watch the progress If
events involving the future of the pop
ular hostelry with more than ordinarr
interest, and all share in the hope
that out of the various negotiations
now pending will come an adjustment
that will insure the good old Harpa;
continuing what is has always been.
