The Clifford Store and Cement Company, of which Mr W.P. Lara more is general manager, is mak ing great improvements on the plant at its works one and a halt miles south of Hall’s Station.

This com* pany is composed of J. M. Ste phens, superintendent of the West ern Union Telegraph Company in Atlanta, president; W. P. Lara more, general manager; and G. H. Aubrey, secretary. Eastern par ties are also interested. When completed more than $150,000 will have been expended on the plant, and more than one hundred hands will be employed in its operation. Perhaps six months will be re quired in which to finish the work. They will manufacture cement -at the rate of 800 barrels per day. Among their . products will be a perfectly white cement, which is something new in the cement line. They will also make \tood fiber plaster,,at plies, rate of one hundred ♦ tons per day.. This product, made of wood fiber and cement, and used for plastering the interior of houses, is a comparatively new product, and the CliffordStoue aud Cement Comfiany will no doubt 'enjoy an enormous trade m this line alone.

The cement bricks and other concrete products are made by means of machinery, wnich subjects them to 400,000 pounds pressure. When the plant is put into full operation. Mr. Laramore may move his family to the works. CHARTER AMENDED. A.. R. and N. Road to Proceed to Atlanta from Wofford’s Cross Roads.

Died, at Etowah Heights, near Cartersville, Ga., November 30th Mrs. Cecelia Stovall Shelman’ Sbe was the daughter of Mrj Pleasant Stovall, many years ago a prominent citizen of Augusta, Her young ladyhood was mostly spent abroad and in the gay soci ety of West Point, in the days when Generals Sherman, Garnett and Longstreet were cadets in that institution. It was said to be in remembrance of that early friend ship that Gen. Sherman saved her home in his march through Geor gia. After her marriage she settled in north Geoigia, on the plantation where she lived and died. Hers was the home of southern hospitality. She was revered and looked up to by all who knew her as a brilliant woman of the old school, treasuring in her mind rich stores of information from all lands- Leading events, from the crowning of Queen Victoria (which she wit nessed) to those of the present day, she interestingly recalled. The infirmities of age and feeble health did not affect the brightness of her mind or the quickness of her repartee. She bravely passed through vicissitudes of war and accepted its fate, which robbed her so sorely. Above all she was the guiding star of her home, the faithful, lov ing mother of her children, who rise up and call her “blessed,” and whose hearts are now desolate be cause “she is not.” She was a life long member of the Episcopal church, and her Bible was her daily study and eomfort.

As this is a“ winter disease,” and as it is beginning its ravages early, it behooves every one to take extraordinary precau tion against it. There have been a number of mild cases in the county the past few years, but those this season seem to be of a more severe type, a negro dying from an attack of smallpox Tuesday near Aragon. Successful vaccination is the only known preventive of this dread disease, and all who do not bear well defined scars should be vaccinated immediately. And if any unvaccinated per sons should take small pox in this section, great care should be taken by the authorities to see that the house is properly fumigated alter the case is removed or discharged. But —vaccination is better than fumigation!—Cedartown Standard. COTTON MASS MEETING. Farmers and Others Will Meet Her* Next Saturday.
