SOME VALUABLE CLAY
DISCOVERED IN DOOLY
Reports State Geologist W. S. Yetftes,
Who Says it is the Richest Vein
Ever Found .in this State—It
Means Much for Dooly if
the Report is True.
The following article recently
appeared in the Atlanta News
and Is of untold interest to the
people of this county :
“State Geologist W. Si Ycatos reports
the most valuable find of clay that has
ever been discovered in Georgia has
been recently found in Dooly county,
Georgia. -
“This deposit covers something like
two hundred acres and has a vein run
ning through it thirty-five feet thick.
“It was discovered in a peculiar way.
The land was bought for the purpose of
using the timber that grew in bounteous
plenty on it, and with no thought as to
its mineral properties.
“A well was being dng and after
excavating fi feet. below the surface,
this rich find of clay was exposed, which
caused a further examination with the
result named,
“Theclay is of the finest composition,
being absolutely free from all grit, and
is easily pulverized with even a slight
pressure of the teeth.
“Geologist Yeates states that this
find is extremely valuable, as It may be
used in the composition of making the
finest chinaware, and on acepunt of its
pureness from grit, it i* an exceptional
deposit.
“In thasattogJw .intend* to make a
thorough examination of this find and
make a complete report in his next
work concerning the mineral deposits
of Georgia.’’
In all probability this discovery
means fortunes to some of the cit
izens of Dooly county.
This clay is recognized the civ
ilized world over as one ot the
most important products in the
industrial world .
It it said that from it can be
manufactured the finest class ot
chinaware. Of course, all our
readers know the great value of
chinawafe, and the price it brings
in the market.
It is claimed that the clay .is
found here in great quantities, and
every effort will be made to devel
op it to the fullest extent.
If the yield proves us large os
anticipated and the quality con
tinues as good as that first found,
it means money- to our people
lyithout a doubt.
. The News will make an effort to
obtainfull particulars of the mat-
, ter and give them to our readers as
soon as possible.
A WORD IN BEHALF OF
VIENNA, BY. A CITIZEN
The phensminsl growth of Vienna in
the last year ts due to a great extent
to the untiring and intrinsic interest
that our energetic editor of the Vienna
News has displayed through the col
umns of his worthy and up-to-date
paper,.in trying to arouse the people
nnd make awake their slumber to their
interests and the interests of our al
ready progressive little city.
A good paper is as necessary for the
upbuilding of a town as any other en
terprise, if not more so, for it contin
uously reminds people of what has
been done and what can be done.
jfot everybody become enthused and
infused with the important idea of
awakening to the realization ot their
situation, and get out of their old
shells and become interested in the fu
ture welfare of our town.
Don’t sit down and hoard up what
money you have made and that right
here in Vienna, scatter some of it and
lend a helping hand to those who arc
willing and anxious to increase the
growth of Vienna. Build more house*
for rent and throw out inducements to
others to come here. Get up more
manufacturing enterprise*. *Lay off
new lot* for tale, extend the streets
and make new ones, put in a complete
system ol sewerage, let every home in
town put In electric lights. Make the
sidewalks neat and clean, repaint your
houses, nnd let the ladies improve their
alrendy beautiful yards. In a word turn
over a new leaf and poll for Vienna I
It is a known thing that Vienna is
considered by people all over the state
and elsewhere at being the wealthiest
town of its size In Georgia, and with
that weiilth nnd the natural beautiful
environments it claims together with
its fine location and perfect health, and
everything that goes to the building up
of a larger and ntoro beautiful city.
What else is there to hinder us from
equalling and soaring above other
towns that have not these advantages,
but to be up—and-doing? Let others
see that you mean to have a city, sur
passed by none, and they - will Imbibe
your progressive spirit, and ere a few
years you will‘wonder fit amazement
at its prodigious growth.
While the new depot for the A. A B.
B. R. is being built lose no time in
building a new and np-to-date brick
hotel. Vienna ean already boast uf
her imposing publto buildings in the
qonrt house, jail and stores, and mng-
nllioent houses, handsome turnouts and
a great many other things, but the
thing we wan t Is noan of these things.
Come to Vienna and put your inter
ests here, and pull for her with all
your might. CITIZKN.

ANOTHER NEW
ENTERPRISE
Hessrs. L. S. and Yf. H Proctor, and
JndsonL. Lasbley to Establish a
Gents Furnishing Store.
Among the many new enterprise,
contemplated and assured for Vienna
is a gentlemen’s furnishing store to be
conducted by Messrs W. H. Proctor,
L. 8. Proctor and Judson Lasbley.
All the necessary arrangements are
now being mude and these gentlemen
contemplate opening their place of
business on Feb. 1.
The firm name will be Proctor, Lash-
ley A Company, and they will occupy
the room recently vacated by Mrs.
Mitchell, adjoining Dr, Youman’s
jewelry store.
It has not as yet been definately
settled which member of the firm will
have active? control of the business,
but it will be either Mr. Lashley or
Mr. L. S. Proctor, of Swaincsboro, a
brother of W. H. Proctor, of this
place.
The firm will carry a complete and
well assorted line of gent’s furnishing
goodH, and will handle everything
found in an up-to-date store of this
kind.
They will furnish it with elegant fix
ings necessary in this line of business,
and all appointments will be first-class.
The three young men composing the
firm are all young nnd possessed ot
excellent business qualifications.
They bear the confidence and esteem
ot all the people of Vienna, and it is
quite needless, we think, to say their
venture will prove a success.
Preparations are being made to open
for business on Feb. 1, and the News
hoped to see the Boys make a great
success,
