A PLAN ON FOOT FOR A $10,000
HOSTELRY.
Cedartown Needs Such a House-Let
Everybody IIolp I ho Good
Work,
A plan is now well under way ft r
the construction of a fine hotel In
Cedartown.
This Is im enterprise greatly needed
in Cedurtown. Not that Cedartown
does not have good hotels, for she
does. But Cedartown is entitled to
something larger and more preten
tious.
Mr. J, W. Booz, the popular pro
prietor ol the Booz House, is the
prime mover in the now enterprise.
The plan is to move the presont
hotel back und turn It to face Prior
street, and then to erect on elegant
$40,000 hotel on the present site on
the corner of College and Prior
streets. Tills Is a good location for a
hotel,close enougli to Main street for
convenlonco ol patrons and yet far
enough from it lor quiet. In fact, It
would be hard to find a more desira
ble location for a fine hotel.
The hotel will be built by a stock
company, and Mr. Booz already has
the promise of several thousand dol
lars stock subscriptions. There are
few things that advertise a town
more widely than a good hotel, and
it will pay Cedartown people to sub
scribe liberally for stock in the new
enterprise.
Mr. Booz is a hotel man of experi
ence und ability, having conducted
hotels successfully In Florida beforo
coming here to take charge of the
Booz House, which had been con
ducted for many years by his mother,
Mrs. M. A. Booz. He is a gentleman
of enterprise and push, and would
manage a large, up-to-date hotel in a
first-class manner.
Cedartown wuntBjust such a hotel
as Mr. Booz proposes to build, and it
rests largely with Cedartown people
to Bay whether it shall be built or
not.
HAS RESIGNED REOTORSHIP.
Rev.. G. E. Benedict Instate on Re
signation from St. James.
u Rev. G. E. Benedict has for some
time had his resignation as the rector
of St. James Episcopal church before
Bishop Nelson and the church, but
they have been most reluctant to
accept it. The pressure of his duties
us president of the Samuel Benedict
Memorial School has been so great,
however, that he has been compelled
to insist on its acceptance, nolens
volens. In working for. the success
of his school, Mr. Benedict during
the past few years has done the work
of several men, and it hus become
necessary for him to lighten his bur
den of duties somewhat. This ac
tion is u source of regret to both his
church and the community, us he is
generally beloved and his high
character und faithful work are ap
preciated.
Bishop Nelson has before him the
mutter ot providing a new rector for
St. James. The Episcopal church is
not numerically strong here,und it Is
probable that St. Jaims will Join
with the church of Koine neighbor
ing town in the call for a rector.
