ed it during the past summer, the
considerations being understood to be
in the neighborhood of $4,000:
Mr.. Waring began to conduct tthe
hotel about a month ago. Succeeding
Ramsey and Green, who in the early
spring succeeded the Messrs. st. John,
who purchased the property about
four years ago..
When cen by a Democrat repre-
sentative, Mr.. Waring said that he
could assign nc. reason for the fire unr
less it originated from electric wires.
which he said were the origin OF a re-
cent blaze i'm the hotel. He said he
carried $4,000 insurance. It was his
purpose he stated, to reopen the hotel
next spring meanwhile spending cone
siderable money on improvement Ill
the way of heating apparatus and bath
tubs and other hotel con~veniences, SO
to be able to keep it open during
the winters of 1867. He said that
while he realized there was a strong
sentiment in Hendersonyflle for a
strictly modern hotel, he was unable,
to say at this time what steps would
be taken to improve the vacant pro
perry.

in n place.
/ found him at the far end Of the
quai, with my bags at his feet, talking
to a young girl wearing the Breton
coiffe and the wide-sleeved Breton cos
tune.
"Auguste has come" the girl was
saying as I approached. "Re arrived
last night from Paris, and came to ouI
house this morning"
My porter touched his cap to me
Everything is here, monsieur" he
said. land the train will stop directly
opposite us on the No. 1 line. This is
my sister Madeleine, who has come to
tell me about Auguste."

"Auguste is our cousin" explained
Madeleine, and he is coming to the
station to see my brother. Ny brother
was his fayorite when we we're chill

the other was a. tall man in bagg!

was a small man., wearing trousers
that were too long for him and 1
