Mr. W. T. Fannin, owner of the Fannin House said Saturday night, is justly
entitled to be classed with the best hotel proprietors in the state, though this

the management of W. T. and C. L. Fannin. It was an all round good hotel
from the start and has been kept up to the standard set at the opening.
