* HOUCK,
WILLIAM J., hotel keeper, res.
Elmwood. Mr. H., is the proprietor of the Leota
House. The hotel is the first place of interest to the
traveler or stranger upon entering town, and often-times a
good or bad impression is formed, as the case may be,
according to the character and extent of its hotel
accommodations. This house is comfortably furnished,
and from base to attic the appointments are strictly
first-class. But better than spacious halls and fine
appointments are the homelike menu and surroundings
of the establishment. The guests not only find good
beds and board, but also the kindest attention. The
Leota House is a favorite resort for the traveling public.
