WALL'S REPUTATION
As a Hunter Leaked Out and McClung Will be Next to Him.
Carl H. McClung of the Vandalia, and John H. Wall, the barber were licensed to—not wed, but hunt this morning. They're both married men and have no further need of permits of that kind. Mcclung had no distinctive marks, according to the application, but Wall's application was decorated with the answer "bald headed" where that question was printed. It is not generally known and probably unbeknown to McClung, that Wall went hunting some years ago and so disgusted a valuable hunting dog that was with him that the animal hung itself before the next morning. This was intended to be kept from McClung's ears but his friends insisted that the story be published.

Harrison & McClung Have Taken a Ten Year's Lease
Hungry travelers will have the opportunity of taking their first meal in the New Barnett hotel Wednesday evening at the dinner hour as the remodeled hostelry will be thrown open to the public at that time.

Mr. McClung has been proprietor of the cafe at the Vandalia station for a number of years. Both of them will continue to retain the management of their present business for the present. Their years of experience in supplying the wants of the traveling public make them well qualified to take charge of the new hotel and assure its rapidly acquiring the reputation of being one of the best hostelries in the state. Fifty rooms are now ready for use and, although most of the old furniture is still to be used, the rooms have all been repainted and modernized by the installing of up-to date plumbing. The work of excavating for the foundation for the new annex has already been commenced and it will be completed ready for occupancy by September 1. This will given the hotel a total of one hundred rooms, all of them being outside rooms for which traveling men are always clamoring. The new firm name will be Harrison & McClung and the hotel will be known as the New Barnett, the same rates being in effect as were charged before it closed.
The new management will give a house warming to a large party of guests at some time in the near future.

FORMER LOCAL MAN AND HOTEL MANAGER DISPOSES OF OHIO HOTEL
Carl H. McClung, who for three years was manager of the Barnett hotel in this city, is a Logansport gentleman who has made an enviable reputation as a hotel man in various parts of the country. Mr. McClung, who is a son-in-law of Mrs. A P Jenks of this city was formerly located in Rochester, Indiana, came to Logansport and in the course of time became the manager of the Barnett hotel. He filled this position admirably for three years, and then several years ago disposed of his interest's here and removed to Ironton, Ohio, whore he took charge of the Hotel Marting. He has now resigned from the management of the hotel at Ironton, and will, in company with his wife, attend the national convention of the Hotel Managers' association at Los Angeles, Calif., and while in that city will do some prospecting with the idea of locating on the Pacific coast. As a proof of the popularity of Mr. McClung with the people of Ironton, the following editorial appeared in a recent edition of one of the Ironton newspapers:
"C. H. McClung, manager of the Hotel Marting has resigned, after three years' successful service to the hotel and city. Mr. McClung came to Ironton to take charge of the new hotel before the building was complete. He spent several weeks with the late Col. H. A. Marting, and fully understood the desires and wishes of Ironton's philanthropist, who built the handsome hotel which bears his name, so shortly before his death. During this time, Mr. McClung has proven himself a real booster for all good things for the city. He is a good road booster, and has been a delegate to many good roads meetings held in other cities. He has taken an active part in Rotary and the Chamber of Commerce, as well as in the social life of the city, He is secretary of the Ironton Automobile club and took an active part in its organization. Mr. McClung, ranks as one of the best hotel men in the state. For several years, he has been secretary of the Ohio Hotel association, one of the most powerful associations in the country. Should Mr. McClung decide to leave the city, which he will likely do, the city will lose one of its real boosters."
