THE COTTON MILL -
VIENNA MUST HAVE
■ —MIC»
Among the enterprising fanners of
the Pleasant Valley neighborhood, Mr.
J. B. Smith is one of the leaders in
progressive and diversified farming.
He i&systeraatic and up-to-date iiievery
detail and uses the latest farm imple
ments. -His stock are the best that
money can buy, and he keeps them in
fine condition for work, and they nre
fully able to pull the plows that go
down into tbd earth for his cotton and
corn. He has Ills plows to go down
below where the little nubblna grow,
and consequently ho always lms. a crib
v full of large ears of corn. He ownB
large body of level, fertile land and
some of it will make 40 bushels of com
and a bale of cotton per acre. Ills
place is well improved in every'partic
ular and his handsome new dwelling is
a thing of beatlty, well arranged for
comfort and convenience. He has dis
carded tlio “razor back’- hogs'and “tin
cup” cows, and runs on Berkshires nnd
Jerseys. He nlso rttns a baby farm in
connection with his other business, and
it is als& a permanent success. I think
if he would exhibit his crop of boys and
girls at tho next State Fair, I am sure
that ho would win the prizes far quan
tity and quality. His girlsare as pretty
as can bo, bright-eyed and very smart
nnd domestic. His boys are intelligent,
- energetic and have got a lot of get up-
And-gct about them. Mrs. Smith lias
the appearance of a 16 year old girl in'
the-face, -and possesses many lovable
traits of character that go to make a|
true woman, the grandest and noblest
' work of an all-wise Creator. The time
1 spent with this clever family will
always linger in my mind as one of tho
most pleasant events of my life,
r - Messrs. R. nnd R. Q. Royal are good
’ citizens' and splendid farmers in the
Pleasant Valley neighborhood. They
keep ahead of tho farmers Who “wait
for the wagon,” .and the day I spent
wlthHhem they had their plows going
nt a rapid gait bedding up com land
They hrnl a lot of land prepared . for
planting, and were bettemp with their
. work than a lot of people^ in the com-
*/"unity. Both of tho gentlemen read
tho Vienna News and the Macon Tele
graph and keop.up with the procession
in every sense of the word. They make
big crops of everything and enjoy the
confidence of their neighbors.
M. Ingram is another -wide-awake
farmer and merchant. He runs three
. flows, makes good crops nnd has a
plenty of everything around him. He
has n most excellent little wife and
two sweet little babies to help him
enjoy the fruits otitis labor,
' -I am indebted - to Mrr W. I. Butler
for mental aid and kindness shown me.
He is a hustler right, on a farm, and ho
had the first land bedded up for cotton
that I. have scon this season. The
Vienna warehouses may look for the
first bale from that section. The Dooly
Banner will give a premium to the first
farmer that brings a now bale of cotton
to the Vienna market In 1003.
Pomp Cobb is an old tlmodarkie, nnd
he and his wife, Aunt Tena, are nicely
quartered under ther “own .vino and
fig tree.” They run two plows and al
ways make , good crops of corn - nnd
cotton, and now have corn and fodder
to sell. They are independent to tho
world, nnd are Tespected by all who
know them, both white and black
i'w. I. Gunter is tho widow of ..
Confederate soldier who gave up his
life Tor the Dost Cause, - Bho Jins a
pretty homo, but has had a hard strug?
- glo to raise nnd educate her children.
One of hcr-sons was paralized over a
year ngo nnd has been in bed ever since
The widow says that with all of her
troulbes the Good-Lord has never for
saken her yet, and notwithstanding the
hours of adversity, tho “lines have
fallen to her” in many iil-isant placet,
and to hear-her talk will convince tho
•‘most stony hearts” that there is in
deed reality in the religion of our Lord
and Saviour, Jesus Christ. She is a
most excellent woman and a true Chris
tian. May the Jtord continue his bles
sings opoq her, and tnay her last days
, bo tlie sweetest, happiest and brightest
uf her life.
Mr. AV. T. Truluck is oqe of Dooly’s
best farmers. Last year he made plen
ty of corn, meat and syrup to run his
-farmand gathered 15 bales of cotton,
averaging 500 lbs. each, to the plow
1 spent a pleasant night with Mr
Spears. He is a pros|eruus farmer
uud an enterprising citizen. He is a
strung advocate of good schools and is
a liberal patron of the school at Adkin>’
Academy. Mi-m Kate - Uenf roe it the
accomplished teacher uf that school,and
is quite popular with all the patrons.
One of ilo; patron, told me that if tiieir
luek did not change .they were going to
quit engaging pretty girl teachers and
get trie ugliest 0jtt bow-legged bachelor
that they could find In the county.
The boy-, ail go to the Adkins Acadeihy
jo hunt'wives, and have carried three
teao..<;rs oil in succession. • ,
Mrl-V.C. Cook is an all-round farm
Surely Vienna will have i
ton mill ere many months
pa,seil awcjD_
Since the .article published in the
last issue of the News, tbe people
of this little city have paitially
opened their eyes to the true merits
6f the question, and one can hear
on till sides'expretsions of interest
and enthusiasm.
It is quite as eusyfor Vienna to
have a cotton mill as any 'other
locality. She can offer ooe of the
very best locations for such ,a plant
that can be found in the state.-
There will not be the slightest
difficulty in giiting any amount of
SPECIFIC LICENSES
FOR CITY OF VIENNA
cot-
bave
money that may be required to se
cure the enterprise. That -fact is
already assured. If uny person
with capital wishes to invest in
such an industry, we can positive
ly assure him that he will be met
fully half way by the people of
Vienna.
The people here are beginning
to realize the necessity of plants of
this character to the gtowth.of the
town. Such industries are. the
great need of this place, aad with
out them Viennu may content her
self to remain just what she is and
nothing more.
For an example of whatmay be
done along this line, take Bruns-
wisck, which.has just secured a
$6,000,000 steel plailt. The
people went after it; they want
down in their pockets'—every man
from the capitalist to the laborer,
gave what he could and they railed
$300,000 in that enterprising little
city and secured-one of the largest
steel plants in the United States.
Most all thirfgs are possible-
only a few impossible. It is pos
sible tor Vienna to secure a cotton
mill that will add 500 people
our population and distribute
thousands of dollpis annualy right
here in Vienna. ' V
Is not such a prospect to be eug
erly sought after; is it not worth
ail the time and energy it will take
to secure,it.
If one'chiton mill dan be secured
for Vienna, then she will be safely
started On_ the road to a rapid
growth, and many more industries,
and realizing this fact as we do,
Hthe News is anxious to see it **
tnblishsd.
A stone 00 a mountain side only
needs n slight push 1 to send it
bound!nglo' the valley below, and
so it is with Vienna, .
One push, such as the establish
ment of a cotton mill, will be all
that.is necessary to start our little
city on the rond to tame arf3 for
tune, add then she will go bound
ing to tbe front by giant strides.
Tha News can say that one man
in this section i* willing atid even
anxious to invest $15,000 in a cot
ton mill nnd he is favorably im
pressed with Vienna as a location.
He commands this amount of ready
money and would be glad to put it
ih such an enterprise where the
proper guarantees- would be made
and su(licjent induceire its set forth.
ThiB gentleman should receive
hearty encouragement and be met
half way on the proposition. It
is seldom, indeed,' that such a
chance as this comes to a town
like Vienna, and the jnost should
be made of if.

Editor Viehnn News: "
I received three odpies of. tbe News
apd was cOrtainly -glad to get them.
They were,Just like letters from home:
Ih this letter I wish to say I have po
ill willagalpst any one, and if anyone
harbors any hard feeling against me, I
now ask you to forgive me. for it was
ail error of the head and not the heart.
If you tnink it will Interest your
rodders, I will briefly prooee&4o state
our trip. Friday evening, Jan. 0th,-we
left Gprdele for the west, and arrived
iti Montgomery, Ala,, at 7:66 o’clock
and .left at 9‘.<15 over the L. 4 N. for
New Orleans. We passed through
Mobile at 3 o’clock the next morning
nnd arrived at New Orleans Saturday
morning at seven o’clock, leaving at
noon over the Southern Pacific and
orontng the Sabine river on a boat.
* Now, 1 will just state that this was
the “tag of war” with me. Two sleep
ing cars had gone overboad tho day
before, and the people wcre fisjiing the
river, trying to raise them while we
were crossing. It was ticklish times to
see our train run aboard*a steam boat
or float,- aud then go rocking and bob
bing acron the groat Mississippi river.
I felt then.that it was high time to 'be
good and ready..
Crossing the river,. we went on to
Houston, 8qn Antonio and Elpnso.
The country began to appear dismal
and barren before we reached New
Orleiint. Great lajpts and low marshes
backed off from tbe Gulf of Mexico and
but few trees were seen, what few therj
were being cypress swamp timber. Not
a pine tree have I seen since before
arriving at Now Orleans.
We arrived at Houston, Texas, Sun
day morning, Jan. 11th, and from there
on to Beaumont, where the nil wells
are plenty, and then on to San Antonio.
In this country, we saw no trees except
the mnskeete, which resembles a peach
tree very much, and groves of them
looked like great peach orchards.
Herq. I began-'to see Mexicans nnd
Indians among the population, and one
could hnar the boys crying: “hot ta-
maleai” For the first time I learned
wbat this was, 'Sunday morning 1 heard
the cry everywhere. . Raising my win
dow, I beckoned to an old Mexican to
bring me some, as I saw everybody else
gulping it down. I gave him a dime,
and harried to try them. One taste
was enough for mysoif and boys, and I
gave thorn back to him.
Later in the day we passed along the
bank of the Rio Grande river, and had
a view to Mexico. I eould have thrown
a stone nerosi in some places.
I have seen mountains before and ad
mired their beauty, but the scenery
down this river was the grandest I have
aver seen. From the riverbsnks back
ward as far as the eye can see are layers
of granite stone resolving at last into a
huge range of mountains. Then wo
entered wiiat is known as the Devil’s
Gorge or Canyon; and for a number of
