ADVANCETOWN HOTEL.
A new hotel to replace that re cently destroyed by fire has been ' erected at Advancetown. Nicely fur nished and picturesquely situated on the interstate highway what will be the man route to Murwillumbah, the Advancetown Hotel should become a very popular resort for tourists, more especially as the natural bridge with its waterfall and gorges of ferns and
native flora, is so handy. There are a number of men now engaged, con-, structing bridges and making the road through to the grid. It is stated that the new road will shorten the dis tance to Murwilumbah by nearly 20 miles. Advancetown is a pleasant run of 13 miles from Southport, and should become a very popular trip with Southport visitors, as the scen-ery en route is delightful. Mrs. H. Free is the licensee of the hotel which is owned , by Mrs. A. E. Giles, of Wynnum South, who, by her enter ptise to erecting such an attractive hotel, evidences she has faith in the future of the district. Correspondent, . 'Civil .
