There’s good news.
Athens is going to have the
needed new hotel.
If she goes without it any longer,
this much is at least certain—it* will not
be Mr. J. B. Toomer* fault.
Mr. Toomer want* to see Athens with
a better hotel. He is a hotel man him
self and his ideas are worth a great
deal.
But better than all Mr. Toomer has
started to work to secure the new hotel
He has taken the lead in this all impor
tant matter Just as he baa taken the
lead in many itnpnr* ant ., matters In the
growth of this live. city.
Mr. Toomer will give his hotel site,
together with all the fu-nitue in the
building towards building a new hotel
for Athena. He baa also headed the
list of stockholders by subscribing
.'1,000, in cold cash which he is resdy to
jMank down at any miDUte.
is that all?*
Not a hit of it. Mr. Toomer has been
CO umuuicating with Northern linns
about this mutter, and has secured the
promise of a great hotel furnishing es
Ubliaiiiueut in Cuicngo that if! t secures,
the contract to furnish the new hotel
it will take 95,000, or $0,000, stock.
“Now otter this,’’ aaid Mr. Toomer
to a Bann-k reporter yesterday, “sim
ply as a starter, for I know the people
of Athens need a new hotel more tbun
they need any thing else and 1 know
there are capitalists here and elsewhere
who will set about building
tbe hotel with this
feasible nucleus.
“I want to fay to you- right here and
now,” continued Mr. Toomer, “that I
am in dead earnest this time. If I had
the moeay 1 would put. It all into tbia
scheme and buifil a $100,000 hotel my
self But 1 haven’t that much money
1 have tried the hotel business in Ath
ciis and know it pays. There is money
even in the little hotel I am running
for it is paying ten per cent, on every
dollar 1 have put in it.”
HIS PLAN FOR TDK BUIUIKIG.
W hat are your plans, Mr. 'loonier? *
asked the reporter.
Here they are in a nutshell. “Take
the site upon which iny hotel is now
built, for it is the best to be found in
Athens. I give it to the hotel fund for
vbat it is worth. I also give $1,000 to
tbe fund as stock; tbeu let us get other
capital interested both here in Athens
and away from Athens suffident to se
cure $75,000 or 9100,000 and then let
the company be organized, tbe plans
mapped and tbe contract given to a first
class architect.”
