Oct. 9.-—The past slimmer tourish season has been a record breaker for Asheville. The hotel managers are a unit in reporting that no season has ever been better.

No complaint is heard in any quarter, and it is believed that next summer Ashe ville's hotel facilities including the new hotels that are now in course of con struction will be taxed. It is believed that tile advertising obtained from the tourists of this year will be more than enough to fill the hotels next summer. It is a bit early to be able to get | much of an expression as to the fall sea- 1 son. but from this point it is possible j to say that all hands are enthusiastic ; over the outlook. Advance bookings have been very good and they have come i in earlier than usual and in greater vol ume than is. customary at the outset of the season. The big boost that hotel patronage has received this summer has I given the hotel proprietors courage to expect a good fall season. Postpone Reading of Bill. Berlin.
