We have been saying for a long while that Walhalla needs a hotel, ought to have a hotel, is hampered without a hoted, ?-le. etc. Now comes a man who has been in Walhalla in a busi ness capacity for some months, is in terested in the growth and prosper ity of the town, and lie says Walhalla MUST have a hotel. We agree with liini most heartily. Here is in brief what this business mau among us, but not yet entirely of us, says: "Walhalla must have a hotel. lt is to every one's interest to have one. and a good one. People want to visit your town, but they can't; you want them to come, and you cannot invite them. "Von lia ve tho pretties! and most conveniently situated moun tain town anywhere to lie found. Rut how can people lind this out when you have no hotel at which to entertain them? You have Hie churches, schools, air, mountains, and the best water and the best people, "Why can't you get together? I am with you most heartily if there ls anytbing I can do." So thora wo are, The gentleman (Rioted above is "with us" if there is anything he can do. One thing is certain, and (Ital is (hat he is not ready to come in among us and do ALU. No other sane man is going to come into our midst and attempt to do single-handed what the people of I he community ought to do for them selves. ||(> is willing to li ol p -will ing even to take a load lint lie natu rally wants to know that the people ol' Walhalla are solidly back ol' and with him. If the people ol' Walhalla want a ? the ability to do tilings, will take enough interest to inquire at this of fice as to the identity of this man, and then support him in a whole souled off>>rt to get. at the earliest possible moment. what Walhalla must have? The proposition is open! Germany Regrets Issues. London, Sept. 17.-Germany sent a note to Sweden highly regretting tim disagreeable issues raised on ac count ol' Sweden transmitting tele grams to Germany, according to tho Stockholm correspondent of the Cen tral News. Germany says that she is obliged to Sweden for transmitting tho messages, but regrets that her representatives in Argentine should have used the phraseology tiley did. The Mya Da gi I gt Allenhanda, ol' Stockholm, which printed the an nouncement thal Germany sent a note to Sweden, says that Germany instructed all ol' its representatives to foreign countries to refuse to ac cede to any attempt intending to force them to reveal to the Swedish government tile contents ol' code messages they may submit to it. Sweden Liberals Regret Action. Stockholm, Sept. 17.-A great lib eral mass meeting here adopted r?so lu tlon.s regretting that tho govern ment was not in position to deny that it passed cipher messages to Re iii n without knowing their contents, and thal such carelessness could happen.

The streets and sidewalks have recently been re paired by the company, and they are better than they have been for seve ral years. Our school has just opened, and we have two teachers. We are look ing for a good and prosperous school. Miss Frances ll ix is principal. We have had a raise on our wages, and now receive with our weekly pay a IO per cent bonus, and also a monthly premium.
