Tho Cent'al Hotel.
Tho change in tho niiuiaginent of
the Central Hotel on Monday maiks
an important epoch in the history
of Middleburgh. The hotel was es
tablished in the early days of tho
town nnd gradually grew in popul
iirityaHlho " Waffle- House". This
well known host eh ie has been under
the name of Smith since lsio.
Prior to 1887 Jacob G. Smith and
his mother had charge of the hotel.
In I HS7 Charles L. Smith assumed
the mnnagmeiit of the Central and
retained it until his death, two years
ago. Since that time Mis. H. .
Smith has controlled tl
about the hotel.
William H. Smith, tho new pro
prietor, is nu experienced hotel
man. He has been connected with
this hotel for years. The house has
been newly fumishod from top to
bottom. A number of improve
ments have alrendy been mado nnd
a host of other improvements hae
been devised and will bo effected i s
rapidly as time will permit. Mr.
Smith is a genuine and obliging fel
low nnd his nccession to this hotel
property Las been hailed with de
light by his many friends. Mrs.
Smith, the laud lady, by long and
successful experience, has learnt d
to tickle the palates of the most
fastidious guests. Mr. and Mrs.
Smith will endeavor in every way to
moke a congenial homo for nil who
take up their abode at the Central.
Guests Will be welcomed at nil
hours.
The bar has been supplied with
tho very best v inei and liquors. It
must be iaid for Mr. Smith that no
landlord is more careful in regard
to TWa.; 1; giVM anything, to
drink. We congratulate Mr. and
Mrs. Smith upon their new ventui e
nnd wish them abundant success.
How About the Telephone 7
Ou tho ith of last July a charter
was granted to II. E. Richter, (. H.
Hendricks, R. F.;Wagenseller. 1. G.
Smith aud C. M. Clement as a cm
poratiou to be known as the "Sun -bury
and Snyder County Telephone
Company". As yet nothing has
beeu done toward eivctiou and con
struction of any liue. We under
stand that the proposed line will ruu
from Sunbury to Sclinsgrove thence
to this place. We are assured tLat
the charter was asked for in good
faith and if the members of tho cor
poration can see their way clear the
liue will be put up shortly.
The proposed lino will permit if
tices at intermediate points, such
as Suauiokiu Dam, Hummel's Wharf.
Salem, Kreamer, Globe Mills and
Swineford aud we presume if the
line is constructed these places will
bo favored with offices.
There is a coustaut necessity for
speedy communication between
these towns and we trust that this
line may be put iuto operation very
shortly.
We learn that the base ball team
is making arrangements to present
a good live drama in Seebold's hall
ere long. Success to the boys.
I have moved my office iuto the
