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 tlemen go to get their drinks, and they are ex- but anxious inquiry of every traveler when he peeled to behave as such while in there.

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 he seen what Columbus 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 ed to and is patronized by both regular ancl trans ient boarders.

It is the only bar room in Georgia, and so far as is known it is the only one In the world, where the barkeeper turns his buck while you are pouring out your liquor. , , ... . , _ , This is quite an item to gentlemen who build d _“ 8 _ d ° w _ n t ° ^ e . 6 i their drinks in the four-flngera-in-a-washtub style of architecture, with hay windows and a back piazza. It is unpleasant to a sensitive man when he pours out a well developed adult drink to have the barkeeper ask him if he’s going aflsh- ing in it, or tell him a man fell Into a drink like that the other day and was carried out by the tide, and perished out of sight of land. In the Rankin House bar a man’s feelings are deemed of more importance than a little liquor, and you are treated with courtesy whether you measure your drinks with a thimble or a yard stick. In connection with the bar there are also a servants are polite, well trained and attentive, and every department of the hotel’s great busi ness moves with the regularity of a piece of per fected machinery. One feature of the Hotel , Riddle reuders it in that particular respect the superior of any hotel in 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 room. And the dining room is immense, bat | still not too large for the guests.

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. edifice, with large, airy rooms, aud has been stqps till he gets it, if it is iu the city. You completely aud thoroughly overhauled and reu- may talk the secrets of life and death while he stands behinds you with his hands on your obair. If he hears, he never repeats. He has no ears until you begin to give your orders. Then he seems to have ears all over him. And his way of gilding, about would create the impression that he is on roller skates were it not for the feet that his movements are as noiseless as if he walked on air. And polite! Why if you “cuss” one of them he will thank you for the “cusain’ ” in such a way thftt you’ll feel that you’ve done him a favor. Let a man come to the table who has taken a glass too much, and let him take up a sweet potato, tbiukiug It is a soft boiled egg and hold it over a ; goblet aud crack it gently with the back of his j case knife. The others at the table with him may ; smile and wink and titter, but the colored waiter ofthe Rankin House who stands behind his chair looks like he thinks his mother is dying. THE RANKIN APPROXIMATES PERFECTION j lu all its aids ami accoutrements. Its beds are ro!\ aud frefh and white as a nuptial couch, and ; its cuisine will make a mau forget his dyspepsia. In fact, taken all iu all, there is but one hotel in the country that professes to surpass the Raukin in the comfort aud Accommodation of i gueMs. That is a summer hotel in New England, 1 whose proprietor advertised for four hundred guests aud agTeed to give each one a first-floor- right-hand-corner front room. ovated aud refitted with the finest furniture in the city. It ia supplied by ite own system of wa ter works, and connected with the general reser voir, thus insuring a bountiful supply of the 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 Biukiu House Dsr. 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 keeping hotel, and the Veranda it one ofthe class hotel shall have a bar attached, for the de- best kept houses in all tho land.
