It affords us much pleasnro to commend the
proprietors of the Veranda as gentle won in the
strictest sense ofthe term. Their hotel is second
to none, and they are eminently vortiiy of the
measure, done away with these eye-sores known
as doggeries. The most orderly and respectable
bar rooms in Georgia are here. And the Jlai-kiu
House bar is par excellence. It is a large, ele
gant and spacious establishment. It is mulllou-
wiudowed, gilt-mirrored, lilver-pitchorod, mahog
any-countered and lit up with electricity. There
is no loud talking there. It is a place where gen

The stage road inns of our fhthers are dead to
everything but tradition now, and great hostel-
ries have usurped their places, In thin feature
progressive Columbus is forcibly illustrated.
There are a number of hotels in Columbus -not
very attractive or prepossessing in structure, it is
true but the latch string always hangs outside
for Htrangers, and there is hospitable entertain
ment offered for them. The tables are ladened
with the best the market ufl'ords. Whether news
papers and travelers tell of the grandeur of the
city that has been raised from a swamp once, and
then from the ashes, to be one
of the most progressive in the
south, our hotels rank among the
attractive institutions. In these latter days
mep gauge a town by the kind of
hotels it offers to tho traveling public.
The hotel Is the pulse of the place. If it is brisk,
prompt, well ordered, well kept and well patron
ised, the town is partaking ofthe same boom on
a proportionately larger scale. Below we present
some ofthe leading hotels of the city, that it may

The Hotel Kiddle.
The Hotel Itiddle is an institution and a pub
lic blessing which Columbus could not dispense
with. It is a massive brick structure, one of the
• largest hotels in the .state, and its style of archi
tecture is original and eye-pleasing. Fronting
on two streets, within two minutes walk of the
! post office and business portion of the city, and
situated at the same time on a street that is
usually free from the dust and din of drays and
! t raffic, the Hotel Riddle has attractions possessed
by no other in the city. A long row of shade
• trees keep the portico cool, and at night its poly
style colonade above and below affords a roman-
i tic retreat for lovers, business men,or families who
' desire a cool retreat. It is a hotel which is suit

Georgia, or almost anywhere else. We
refer to the unusual size of Its rooms. They are
about three times the size of the average hotel j

Columbus has n hotel, the Rankin House, ;
which every citizen of Columbus is willing to
have taken as an exponent of the city itself. It i
Imoiio ofthe largest and staunchest ofthe three or j
four mammoth hotels in Georgia. This hotel was ]
burned January 2, 1H79, and was immediately ro- I
built by Mr. James Rankin, of this city, from I
whom it takes its name. The best architects iu
the country were employed in its construction,
and no expense was spared to make it staunch.
Perhaps no other house in Columbus would be
as safe during an earthquake or a cyclone or a
flood. It extends across the entire block from
Broad street to First avenue, and is one ofthe
most imposing structures in the city. It
has about one hundred rooms, which aTe
much larger than tho average hotel room.
They are furuished luxuriously and in
the latest styles of fashionable upholstery.
Tlie dining room is lOxflO fbot, and is the most
comfortable in winter and the best ventilated in
glimmer of any hotel dining room in the state.
The Rankin House rotunda, which opens on the
busiest part of Broud street, is a spacious and
elegant place, and the fixtures correspond with
tho regulation fixtures in all the g eat caravansa
ries north and south, the plan of the hotel being
similar to that ofthe Carleton House in Jackson
ville. The rotunda of the Rankin House is the
GREAT CHNTltn AND ItKMDKZVOUS
for business men, tourists, drummers and pro
fessional men. Under the daylight glare of Its
great electric lights, capitalists map out new rail
roads, lawyers discuss knotty questions in equity,
and hankers and brokers lay new traps for tho
nimble nickel, the insoct that is in season
all the year round, the insect that is so easy to
catoh and so hard to tame. Men who make ap
pointments say: “Meet me at the Rankin
House.” Men who are looking for a friend who
is iu the city, and whom they cannot find, always
scan the register of the Raukin House. They
know if he isn’t there, he ought to be. In short
and iu fact, the rotunda of the Rankin House is
Uio heart of Columbus. The current of cit y life
pours through it every day. But, after all, it is
THE CBRW TUAT MAKE* TUB SHIP.
Even the Rankin House would be a poor place
for a traveler to rest if it hud a proprietor with
out principle, and clerks without politeness.
Happily for Columbus and happily for the
public, this is not the case. The proprietor and
clerks of the Rankin not only dress like gentle
men and look like gentlemen; they are gentle
men. The country minister aud the Now York
millionaire are treated exactly alike at the Ran
kin—that is, to the very best the house affords.
The proprietor ofthe Rankin is Mr. John Scherf.
know him, and who doesn’t like him? His nearest
neighbors are his best friends, and a man like
that can be trusted to do the right thing by his
guests. The day clerk is Mr. Frank Golden,and it
makes a way-worn traveler feel bet
ter when he leans on the couu-
tor of the office and lets Frank Golden
smile on him while he registers. The night clerk
is Mr. John Brazilc. Tho Rankin rotunda, after
the lamps are lit, would look like “ Home With
out a Mother’’ if the •familiar form of night clerk
John Brazile wore not there.
ON K OFTHB ATTRACTIONS
ofthe Rankin House is its army of well drilled
colored waiters. The Rankin House colored
waiter is an institution. He is trained to the
last nQtcli. Nod at him sixty feet away aud he
is at your side with a bow in a second. Order
anything and if it isn’t in the house he never
is dolug id the way of billiard room and restaurant, TheouMne ofthe j ?“«>«* »> arlorand «** *»'
restaurant is unexceptional and Its table* are lit- ' t,ro houBe ' 11 take ? thc "? ht kind of a , P rt »’ rle
erally loaded with the very best the market af
fords. Its waiters are polite and attentive and {
no guests are neglected no matter how much of a 1
rush there may bo. Thus in this triple estab- ,
mont a man may find drink, food and amuse
ment. The wines and liquors are of tho best and
purest brands; the viands are of tho freshest and
best, and the billiard tables are ofthe newest and ,
most approved patterns. One peculiarity about
this billiard room is the fact that instead of having j
lumps of chalk to chalk the cues with, a China
vase filled with milk shipped daily j
from an Atlanta dairy sits at each
corner ofthe table. To dip a cue in this milk re
quires very little time, and about the same
amount of chalk adheres as if the cue had been
rubbed with a lump of chalk.
Tlie entire establishment is presided over by
Mr. Charley Hey man, one ofthe best men and
best caterers in all the land. He is fht, good
natured and jolly, and the sight of his shadow
on the wall will cure the blues. Mr. Henry
Moshell is head bar keeper, and ho understand*
his business as few men of his ago do. He is
steady, sober and truthful, and the feet that he
has so many friends adds no little to the custom
ofthe bar.
THE CENTRAL HOTEL.
The Best Booms and the Bsst Fare for the Beast
Money—A Natural Born Hotel Maa la the Pro
prietor—A Word About His Rooms and Table.
Tho history of Columbus would be incomplete
without a referonco to the Central Hotel, one of
the oldest, one of the most popular, and one of
the most successful in the dty. No one has done
more to build up the hotel business In the city,
and give it a reputation for pnsh and energy,than
Prof. J. W. Ryan, the proprietor of the Central.
Gathered as guests of the Central are not only
many of our own prominent citizens, but the
leaders of commerce and trade, the bright lights
ofthe bar, tho pulpit and other professions from
various parts of the country. It Is one of the
attractive resorts ofthe city, and theva is scarcely
a day that it is not filled to its capacity. This Is
one of the hotels that does uot present a very im
posing front, but it has been overhauled and the
comforts within its walls are such aa to over
balance all defects in outward appearance.
The landlord’s name is a synonym for a well-
kept house, and it is noted and conspicuous for
several things. In tho first place it Is in the
cent rol business part of tho city, being located
about half way the block on Broad street, be
tween Ninth and Tenth streets. The location
Is most convenient to both the wholesale and
retail trade, to the street car lines, to the railroad
depots and to tho places of amusement. It is at
the very focus of business, the heart of the city,
and wlieu one wants to describe the distance of
any polut to be reached, he always says “so
many blocks from the Central Hotel.”
Another ofthe attractions of the Central Hotel
is that a mao does not havo to pay high prices
for the privilege of stopping at a first-class hotel
and then take his chances of getting a poor
room. There are no rooms “away up toward the
sky,” hut the hotel is only throe-stories high
ami extends back for half tho block. Those who
stop at this hotel have all the advantages of
those who stop where it costs them six or eight
dollars per day and pay less than half that price.
To sum it all up the Central Hotel is one of* the
best houses iu tho city aud the south. The fame
ofthe popular establishment has extended all
over the whole country a3 one of elegant accom
modations and luxurious living. Prof. J. W.
Ryan is a natural born hotel man, possessing all
the elements of success—an unlimited supply of
energy, polite and accommodating
spirit, and sufficient resources to
make the pot bo’l. The Central is a commodious
tor to give tone and standing to a hotel, and in 1
this respect the Hotel Riddle is happily cased. (
The proprietor, Mr. Geo. Riddle, is a young and ,
single man, but his steady business tact aud in-
flexible will have enabled him to build up for his J
hotel u reputation that any house might envy.
Mr. George Riddle’s uniform good nature and
politeness to his guests, coupled with liismerited
but unsought popularity with everybody in Co
lumbus, has had no little to do with making the
hotel what it is. A large number of the best
families in the city have moved to the
Hotel Riddle this fall, where they have found,
they say, all the comforts of a home without any
of its annoyances. Everybody who likes a good
and honest man likes George Riddle, and we do
not hesitate to predicate that he will continue to
make the Hotel Riddle a suc
cess, as he has done with everything
else ho ever undertook. In conducting tho hotel
Mr. Riddle is assisted by his mother, Mrs. A. E.
Riddle, who superintends the servants and pan-
tries, and whose courtesy aud matronly kindness
to the lady gu eats has contributed largely to the
popularity ofthe hotel.
The Lawrence Hotel.
The Lawrence Hotel, of which Mrs.C. Lawrence
is the proprietor, ia a necessity to Columbus. It
is located on lower Broad street, not fer above
Broad street depot, and combined both hotel and
restaurant. Mrs. Lawrence lean excellent caterer,
and not only has the beet the market afforda
placed upon her tables, but she sees it is properly
cooked and served in such a manner as to tempt
the appetite. The reputation of Mrs. Lawrence
as a hotel keeper has extended throughout all
this section and tho consequence is she has a lib
eral patronage. The restaurant is conducted in
the beet style and meals are served upon the
shortest notice. She has several years’ experi
ence and puts her experience to the beet practical
use.

If he hears, he never repeats. He has no ears

healthy fluid in every’ room. The hotel has not
only the handsomest dining room la Georgia, but
the popular verdict is that it keeps the best table
of any house in the state. What the professor
doesn’t know about comfortable rooms and luxu
rious living is hardly worth knowing, and his
reasonable prices—$2 a day—strongly commend
the house to a generous patronage.
THE VEKA MU HOTEL.
MONUMENTS OF MARBLE.
The Wonder of Foreigners and the Pride of
Americans—Aiding Those who Desire to Beau
tify the Homes of the Dead—The Largest Steam
Monumental Marble Works in this Section.
Tho business of Columbus, covering as it does
almost every department of industry’, would not
bo complete without a large and first-class mar
ble yard. American cemeteries are the wonder
of foreigners and the pride of Americans. They
are the most beautiful in the world. No where
else are the dead reverenced and remembered
with so much pathetic care. Indeed, when one
walks through the average American cemetery,
shell-paved, shrubberied, shaded with weeping
willows, dotted with blossom of amaranth and
immortelle, and rendered solemnly grand by the
white and peaceful glimmer of marble shafts and
inlaid, tessellated and art-wrought tombs, he is
tempted to exclaim in a new but reverent sense,
“Ohl death, where is thy sting? oh! grave,
where is thy victory'?”
In view of the growing and laudable disposition,
especially of the southern people, to beautify the
last resting places of their dead, the marble in
dustry has grown along with the beautlftil senti
ment of the people, until to-day the business has
attained proportions that were never dreamed of
twenty years ago. The first-class marble yard of
to-day is a real museum to the laity aud the un-
iniated who visit it. The patents, designs, im
provements, machinery, etc., are modern won
ders. Think of men making tombstones by
steam! And yet such a first-class marble works
as the one described may be found right among
us at 905 Broad street. We refer to the Monu
mental Steam Marble Works owned and con
ducted by Mr. A. M. Elledge. They
are the pride of Columbus and the fortune
of the proprietor. Mr. Elledge employs eight
men in the yard, and has four traveling, while
Improved machinery does away with the work of
sight or ten more hands. Fifty people live, and
live well, on the money drawn from the pay roll
of Mr. Elledge’s marble works. The work turned
out from Mr. Elledge’s “Monumental Steam
Marble Works” has been pronounced by experts as
excelling any done In all this section,if not in the
south. He makes shipments to every part ofthe
country, and receives orders from
distanced that are really surprising. His moon-
monte and tombstones are shipped through
Montgomery to many points beyond and his
customers are scattered all the way from Pal
metto, Ga., to Apalachicola, Fla. He has recently
Messrs. J. A. Frazer aud Hem*}’ Ingram have
gone into the hotel business. They are proprie
tors of the Veranda Hotel, on the corner of Tenth

An American custom demands that every first-
part of the city, it is free from the noise and con
fusion that so often makes a hotel uncomfort
able. The guests here find as much quiet, as
much comfort, as much luxury at any man-
even though he be a millionaire—should want.
These gentlemen folly understand the art of
