We learn that the Palmer House has changed hands, Capt. James Russell and
Mr. Davis of Terre Haute being the purchasers. This change does not come
too soon, and we hope the change will be an improvement. The new
proprietors are understood to have both the skill and the means to make us a
good hotel and we are very confident they will find it profitable to do so.
