NEW
WAGON FACTORY
D^ini? Organized For Gaines
ville.—$ 1 o, 0 0 0 Capital
Stock.--“Gower Wag
on Co.,” Name of
New Concern. \
NUMBER 51
Gainesville is to have a new
enterprise. It is to be known as
the "Gower Wagon Company,”
with Mr. Eb N. Gower as its ex
ecutive head. It is to be capital
ized at $10,000.00, a majority of
the stock of which has already
been subscribed for by local citi
zens.
It is proposed to start work at
an early date on the new plant of
the company, or as soun as a
charter lias been secured and
the company regularly or
ganized. About a half dozen sites
are in view, but it is not yet
known which one will be selected.
The new plant will give employ
ment to a number of people, and
will be a very valuable acqui
sition to Gainesville. With an
abundance of the best timber in
this immediate section, splendid
labor to be had at reasonable
wages, and a steady demand for
good wagons throughout this and
other sections such a plant should
be abundantly successful.
Gainesville will welcome this
new addition to its manufacturing
enterprises. Mr. Gower is one of
the city’s most splendid citizens,
has the confidence of the
people, is experienced in handling
men and machinery, and will
make a success of the business.
A Beautiful Wedding.
Gainesville’s New Hotel.
TKe Princeton is nearing com
pletion and it is the expectation of
Manager Brittain to have the house
open ready for business on or
about July 15th.
The second upper floors are now
in the hands of the decorators
and they will probably , finish
within a few days.
The furniture for the house has
been bought as have the carpets,
kitchen equipment, etc. Most of
the furnishings of the house
were furnished by our local mer
chants.
Manager Brittain has assured
us that no expense has been
spared to make the Princeton
first-class in all its appointments.
The cost of furnishings of the
house will total nearly $10,000,
and when completed, the lobby,
office, and dining room* will be
especially attractive. The din
ning room will have a seating
capacity of about one hundred
people and will be equipped with
all the latest features known to
the hotel world.
There are 48 rooms, all out
side. Each and every room has
hot and cold running water, elec
tric lights, steam heat, telephone
and a clothes closet. Besides, the
house is equipped with the latest
improved Qtis electric elevator.
The open air pavilion is another
attractive feature of the hotel.
This pavilion will have a seating
capacity of about 300 hundred
people and has a splendid floor
with a music stand extending
across the entire end. The
pavilion will appeal especially
to conventions, public meetings,
etc.
Manager Brittain is a thor

number of important bills which
he will introduce at the approach

bills locally is that amending the

Other local bills of more than
passing interest are those provid
