Cuisine and Furnished Best Accommodations W A Wilgus Manager Model Servioe One of the most striking exam- ¬ ples of modern evolution is pre ¬ sented to the eyes of our citizens and visitors in the spectacle of the magnificent hostelry known as the Latham Hotel the prem ¬ ises of which occupy one block in the heart of the city while the building proper fronts on three of the main thoroughfares It is a three story and a half struc- ¬ ture occupying two thirds of a square the remaining one third being reserved for a hotel park which is to be platted in walks and ornamented with fountains flower beds and shrubs Erect ¬ ed at a cost of 100000 with 25 000 additional for furnishings it is needless to say that few if any cities of comparative size to Hopkinsville can boast of such an extensive and beautiful hotel It is at once the wonder and ad- ¬ miration of all visitors and has quaint and poetic interest that any attempt to ignore it is treat- ¬ ed by the reading public as an 1 t act of presumption Those airy nothings of the writer must be given a nomen- ¬ clature even at the expense of accurate statement Indeed the somnolent traditions of our early history with thqir weird and romantic settings possess such a fascination in their occasional awakenings that the recital of present day conditions grow homely and uninteresting Hopkinsville is as rich in this ancient fore as any section in the New In many a grolto and outh sequestered surrounding still funis tlie inspiration for Historic revery or enduring fiction They still possess a mute elo- ¬ quence a tragic mystery and a turtive charm over which the glamour of research throws itsj softest light But tiiosc ape mat- ¬ fame and good name of such a house wherever his footsteps tend or his voice is heard The visitor who tarries for short or long at the Latham Hotel will find here all that in fact goes to make up first class hotel ser- ¬ vice and still more he will find true Southern hospitality and good will dispensed with a full heart and generous hand where one and all in authority and at- ¬ tendance combine to make the place a home for their guests and where every attention is di- ¬ rected towards the promotion of the individual comfort of every one In this respect it stands pre eminent The accommoda- ¬ tions are first class in every par- ¬ ticular the cuisine is excellent prepared by an accomplished chef and served by polite and obliging attendants The rooms are large airy and well furnish- ¬ ed and everything about the place wears an attractive de- ¬ lightfully home like air while cleanliness pervades the house from top to basement The building itself is of cream pressed brick and dressed stone with elegant terra cotta trim- ¬ mings and is of Italian Renais- ¬ sance style of architecture It is heated by steam well lighted by gas and electricity and has hot and cold water throughout i day time preserving them for archeological Yjuest and diver- ¬ sion The present mission

resident of Hopkinsville and has shown the deep loyalty and affection which springs eternal in his breast for the home of his early youth through this and many other public enterprises in the city which bear testimony to his public spirit and generosity The hotel is managed by a Board of Directors and is under the personal supervision of Mr J B Boulware as Clerk and Mr H 15 Ilolton Cashier twb

perhaps no feature or department of the United States Government which appeals more forcibly to our admiration and respect or which is under a more perfect system of manage ¬ ment than its postal

throughout the Union First comes our unprecedent- ¬ ed service in the transportation of the mails and the high degree of Dperfection attained in the handling of mail enroute Every necessary

added greatly to the beauty and fame of the city but has given it a business prestige than which no public enterprise has done more It has enhanced the value of property and draws many a weary traveler to its shelter who cannot find equal comfort in surrounding places The hotels of all cities play an important part in the history of their respective community car ¬ rying its fame throughout the land adding to its lustre in pro- ¬ portion as the hotels are good bad or indifferent The modern hotel is not only the permanent home of thousands of the best people but many travelers daily find a temporary abiding place in the hostelries of the land The location of a city may be unsur ¬ passed its streets broad and brilliantly lighted its business blocks and public buildings of the most massive kind butr un- ¬ less its hotels are first class in every respect all the above goes for naught with the traveler who by reason of business or pleasure is compelled to remain at the mercy of
