100 Years Ago

September 5, 1919

• Lieutenant James Lang just returned from the army and is intending to resume his law practice in Eads as soon as he can find office space.
• The lack of rooms has taken quite a sum from Eads on to other towns east and west of us. In view of this fact, Ed M. Low let the contract this week for a new hotel building. The building will be 32x 42 feet, two stories and modern in every respect. The building will have 15 rooms, first floor lobby and be arranged for serving meals at some future date. The building will occupy the lot just to the north of the present Low Hotel and will be so built that an addition can be added at any time.
