PROGRESS MADE
WITH New HOTEL
Company Now Being Organ
lied to Erect Fine Build
ing on Payne LOT.


Especial attention is called to the
announcement of the Tazewell Hotel
Corporation, published in this issue.
The scheme is, generally, heartily ap-
proved of by the citizens of the town.
1t is along the line of progress and
improvement, and any scheme or
movement which promises growth for
this town should be heartily supported
by every business man and firm in the
community, without exception. The
payment of subscriptions is made so
easy that few, if any of the citizens
of the town can reasonably refuse to
take one or more shares. A nice
building on the now vacant lot on
Main Street would add greatly to the
value of property all around, and ir-
respective of dividends, the scheme
should have, and will have the support
of the people. The matter should be
put through as soon as possible. Let's
get together. /"

Convict Labor Cheaper.


In letter accompanying his annual
resort to Governor Mann, Captain P.
1T. Julien Wilson submits some val
nab,e information concerning tconvict
labor on the roads and the coat there
of. He says in part: "It is gratifying
to note the reduction in the average
cost per mile of roads this year as
compared with that reported one year
ago. This is particularly noticeable
in the cost of macadam roads, the
average cost having been reduced APP
proximately to $500 per mile.
'tThis is due to several causes, one
Of the principal of which is the re-
duction in the cost of maintenance of
the convict labor. The cost of the con-
vict labor as reported-by the superin--
tendent of the penitentiary hase5

Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
1t is perfectly apparent that the
town of Tazewell has made little if
any progress for the last two; years.
There has been practically no build
ing done, and l believe more families
have moved from the town than have
moved into it. If the town is 10 i'm.
prove, it can only be done by the
citizens.
We have organized corporation,
the object and purpose of which is to
build hotel on the site of the Old
Central Hotel, the maximum amount
of the capital stock is $50, 600 and
it will take from $40, 900 to $50,
600 to purchase the lot. construct a
hotel and furnish and equip same.
w. P. Payne purchased this lot at
cost of $4,000 in February 1906.
calculating per cent. upon the in
vestment, the lot has cost him over
$1,000. He has conveyed this lot to
the Tazewell Hotel Corporation in
consideration Of $4,000 of its stock
and has subscribed for $40, 900 in
addition, to be paid in cash upon
the call of the officers of the Corpora
tion. | have subscribed for $1,000 of
the stock, thus making total of
$4,000 now available.
This proposition is to be presented
TO every business man in the town of
Tazewell, and if they do not subscribe
to the stock the hotel will not be
built. Each business man will be re-
quested to take some stock, whether
it be much or little. And in view of
the fact that the macadam roads will
be constructed through the county, it
is necessary to have suitable and
commodious hotel, for the convenience
of visitors as well as our own county
people, if we epxect to attract any
parties seeking homes, to our COM
munity.
The investment in the stock of this
hotel corporation should pay 6 per
cent. dividend, but if the investment
does not pay you any dividend direct
ly, it will necessarily pay you more
than 6 per cent. indirectly.
1t is not the object or intention of
any one connected with this corpora
tion to antagonize the business of any
one else, and especially of the hotel
now in the town, but it is for the
purpose of having ample accomoda-
tion, and hotel run on different
plans and in different styles from the
hotel that we now have. If you are
interested in increasing your own busi-
ness, or if you have any pride in the
town. ws desire you to join with us
in this enterprise and will get You to
call on the treasurer and subscribe
for such amount as you may feel
justified in carrying.
Yours respectfully,
GEO. W. ST. CLAIR.
