Mrs. Keen comes highly recommended as one of Missouri's best hotel managers, having conducted a hotel in Columbia very successfully for several years. The Randolph, when properly managed, has always been a good paying property, and from the reputation Mrs. Keen bears as a landlady we are sure she will never have cause to regret locating among us. Mr. Pearce and wife left the first of the week for their old home in Illinois. We are not advised as to their future intentions. Kathy Bowlin Additions, corrections, comments welcome.
