A Great Change,
In only a week a great change has ta
ken place in the Barlow House since its
new proprietor, Mr. Chas. II. Scott took
possession of it. Mr. Scott is an old ho
tel man, and fully undemands every de
tail in tho business. As Americns is a
poor market, and it is almost impossible
to get wbat is wunted, Mr. Scott ordered
in large quantities from Atlanta, and now
serves up to bis patrons the finest kinds
of delicacies, arranged by u cook who is
an adept in the culinary art. Drifting in
to tho culinary department reminds us
pleasantly of a nice dinner we had at the
Barlow the other day. Wo didn’t go
around prepared to write it up whether
it was good or not, but as our business
would not permit us to go home, and as
wo happened to be near the Barlow we
dropped in, expecting to bo treutedjust
like anybody else—and wo were; no bet
ter, no worse. A bill of fare bus just
been introduced iu tbe house, and it
n convenient arrangement, ns now one
can get just wlmt be wants, and nothing
else. Wo were surprised at tho neat man
ner in which everything was served lip,
and the cooking was not only well done,
but nioely done. Mr. 8. brought his old
cook with him from LaGrange, and he
be justly proud of him. Whilo wo
aro on tbe subject we would remind our
people that a first-class table cannot be
kept up without the encouragement of u
liberal patronage, and Mr. Scott only
asks to he dealt with as he deserves.
As fast as posssiblo he is making im
provements and alterations in tho house.
His bar is a model of neatness and beau
ty, and the liquors served from it nre
always of the best. He is renovating the
rooms and putting in now and addition
al furniture. He wishes to make tho
Barlow a house that the people ofAmeii-
ous can bo proud of, and with their help
ho will do it.
