On Saturday, May 2, J.E. McKeithan and C.L. Cockman will open Lakeview for the summer under most favorable circumstances. The building work of last summer has put the resort in more complete shape, and the new management has secured capable and experienced help to carry on. The Hotel will be in the hands of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Lingle, hotel folks of experience, and the dining room will be operated by E.L. Ramsey and A.B. Lingle, who run a chain of restaurants through the state at places like Greensboro, Salisbury, Sanford, etc.
Barbecues and Brunswick Stew will be a constant feature of the bill of fare, while at the restaurant at the pavilion, lunches, fruit, beverages and kindred things will e sold at all times. The dining hall will be open at the hotel until 1 o’clock, A.M. every night. On Tuesday and Saturday nights, dancing will be carried on from 8 to 12, with the Eight-Piece Columbia orchestra, one of the best ever in this section.
It is the desire of the new management to make of Lakeview the best possible outing and recreation spot that the improved facilities will permit, and with the new hotel, the new bath house, the enlarged grounds and changes all around, they anticipate a marked success in their efforts to entertain a big patronage. A capable office will live on the grounds and take care of the order, and the programs will be such that offensive conduct will not be encouraged.
Two 12-passenger gasoline boats will be on the lake, and 12 rowboats, which will be for hire at all times. Bathing facilities are better than ever. Six cottages are for rent, with two large cottages with cots for campers who come in numbers. Tents for campers, and room for those bringing their own tents. Ground free to picnic parties, and everybody welcomed.
The management wants to make Lakeview one of the most desirable places of summer rest and pleasure to be found in the state, and invites the co-operation of the people in every way that the purpose of the enterprise may be realized and its benefits shared by the greatest number of people. Suggestions and opinions always welcome concerning any feature of the place.
With the good roads now leading from all directions, and the good service on the Seaboard railroad, the new proprietors look for a good summer.
