"William Mobbs, until recently bartender at the Clinton House has leased and renovated Twist's Tavern, the seventy-five year old hostelry on South Cayuga street, and proposes to make it a favorite resort for farmers of the country. He has sublet the large barn upon the premises in order to devote his entire attention to the inn. 
Mr. Mobbs is by heredity an innkeeper. His grandfather kept the 'Plough and Compass' at Huntington, on the estate of the Duke of Manchester, sixty miles form London, in turn succeeded by his father and his uncle. Mr. Mobbs has a photograph, taken by himself five years ago, of this English inn. 
In the conduct of the Mobbs tavern [?] the wife of the proprietor is to assist and supervise. The venerable structure has been painted, papered, and plumbed; and had a steam heating equipment supplied to it. The fourteen chambers have been neatly furnished anew."
