Mr. Buffington was seventy-six years,

It is very probable that an elegant
modern hotel will fce built on one of
the lovely heights beyond Green street
within the next few months. If it is
erected it will command a beautiful
view of the mountains that rise and
dip in a line of ever changing blue
across the northern horizon, besides
blending in its location the charms of
woody and rustic associations with the
advantages of the city.
For sometime a movement has been
on foot to build a magnificent new hotel
in Gainesville.
It is understood that
Col. H. H. Dean, Mr. H. N. O’Neal and
several other prominent citizens are
interested in the matter, and it is prob^
able that the hotel will be built by a.
stock company.
The location decided upon is a very
desirable one. The hotel would be
situated out just far enough from the
city, and there is no doubt that it
would be filled from season to season
if properly advertised and managed,
which it surely would be if Mr. O’Neal
had it in his hands.
Gainesville has long been a popular
summer resort. For many yetrs Gow
er, New Holland and White Sulphur
were thronged every summer, and
since these resorts have been neglected
a more opportune time could not be
selected for building a large modern
hotel on the outskirts of the city.
There are many attractions in Gaines

not have.
