A first class house of the Cree Hotel conducted by Mr. D.H.Cree, a native of Newport, born and raised in the town and has conducted the house for the past ten or twelve years.

(Louisa C.) Mrs. L.C. Cree, his wife and help mate conducts a Millinery Emporium in which capacity she has been in this business for 24 years.  She is a native of this county and learned the cut of millinery in Wheeling, W.Va., and established herself in business in 1867, then married.  She afterwards married D.H. Cree, and here we find them today so far in the journey of life.  In her millinery emporium is carruda fine lot of hats and bonnets trimmed and untrimmed, besides an extensive showing of general millinery goods, such as ribbons, flowers, plumes, feathers, etc. in great variety.  The very latest blocks and designs are received by this house and appear in the show cases simultaneous with their introduction in our eastern cities.  Louisa Cree Shop on Greene Street.
