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. Burn to Mrs. J. M.
