CAFE CHANGES OWNERSHIP

The Virginian Cafe owned and
operated the past year by Ed. +.
Johnson and VIM. Freeman was sold
Saturday to Ray and Homer BoOtOn,
who took possession OF the place
early that evening. The cafe was
closed all day Sunday when a number
of changes were made in the fix
lures and the room thoroughly
cleaned. Monday morning the place
was open for business and made .
splendid and attractive appearance.
The former owners gave Audubon
splendid cafe, one which was a
credit to towns much larger, than
Audubon. Mr.. Freeman is in the
present draft and desired to dispose
of the business while Mr.. Johnson
who had only financial interest
was equally anxious to sell. Mr..
Freeman, as manager gave the pub
lie good service and is entitled to
much credit for giving the city cafe
of which every citizen felt proud.
The new owners are familiar with
the business and have the happy
faculty OF knowing how to treat the
public. They are anxious to render
the public the best of service and will
no doubt make improvements where
ever they can. We bespeak for them
prosperous and ever increasing
business. Homer Booton, who has
been at the pool hall, will help in the
cafe while his father will take charge
