“Lt*t mo tell you something,'' said
a well-known and popular man to a
Lkik'.kk representative the other day.
“Do you know the greatest need of
ourtown? It's a hotel. A real mod
ern hotel with eleetrie eall bell*,
water, eleetrie lights, ete. I do not
know what a hotel, such as I have in
mind could l>e built for, hut I believe it
eould he made to pay, no matter what
the cost. For instance, a hotel with,
say fifty rooms, three stories high,
the ground Hour to Ik* divid<*d some
thing like this: Throj* rooms, the
outside njairCTo^.-tufe 'rooms, t be
.fro»Uff>T the centre room to Ik* tin*
office for the hotel, and a play house
to l*e built hack of the hotel office.
With such a hotel we could meet
the growing demands of our town for
years and then we eould have a lirst-
class theatre and induce first-class at
tractions to come here. There is no
doubt but that in order to haven live,
growing town you must have amuse
ments. People do not want to go to
a place where there arc no amuse
ments, because this is an amuse
ment-loving age and some |>eoplc live
in a place for the pleasure they can
get out of it; so in order to grow and
keep abreast of the times, we must
have some clean and attractive amuse-
ments. Aside from the play-house,
the hotel eould be made to pay hand
somely. The one we have was suffi
cient for our needs in days gone by,
but we have out-grown it. We need
a hotel and our capitalists should in
vest their money in that direction.”
The Lkogkk believes one of the
needs of the hour is a modern hotel.

A Small Wreck.
Last Wednesday there was a small
wreck on the South end of the yards-
near the Lchgkr office. A tender
and one ear were somewhat damaged.
Xo one was hurt, but “Doe” Spen
cer was badly seared. He had some
thirty hogs on board the wrecked ear.
His fright was caused by the remem-
bra nee of the fact that thirty hogs
would make at least twice as much
sausage as ho eared to have at one
time in his meat market this warm
weather. This, with the additional
fact that in trying to get the tender
hack to the track then* might be made
such a quanity of “ground hog,”
caused “Doe” to disembark Ids cargo
of porkers with all possible haste
without waiting for the wreck to he
righted.
I maintain that religion is mis-
represc nted unless it is made clear
that its utility is for this world, as
well as for the next world; and that
it would lie good for us to have it now,
even if there were no next world.-Rev.
