Berrien County’s Turpentine
uml Lumber Imlimtries.
The Gazette and its local contem
porary, The Adel News, have Imd
but vtiy little to say in a general way
of the lumber ami naval store inter
ests of Berrien county and thus very
few people have sufficient knowledge
of them to properly appreciate theii
magnitude and importance.
There are seven large mills, cutting
lumber to till foreign orders, viz:
Cecil Lumber Company, Oglesby Bros
Adel Investment, Company, Beckwith
Ok Rogers, IL. H. Tift, Weston A
Gunn and S. it. Weston & Son. These
millsy running on full lime, give em
ployment to about one hundred hand,
each or seven hundred in all. Be
sides there are a tnunbtir of smaller
mills, employing from ten to twenty -
fi vo hands each.
There are nineteen turpentine
farms, employing an average of sixty
hands each or a total of one thousand
one hundred and forty. ,
Then we can safely say that there
ire twenty four hundred dependents
upon the saw mills ami two thousand
upon the turpentine farms of Berrien
county for sustenance, or a total of
four thousand and four hundred.
Thus the reader cm: see t hat these
industries are of great magnitude and
form no mean proportion of Berrien
county’s prosperity. But the object
of this article is not to boast of the
importance of these imlus'nes to the
comity as to show how much the
county is uffected by (lie painful fi
nancial depression now hovering over
the country.
Tho mills have been forced to
close down for the lack of orders, t(je
4 >
turpentine operators have been for
ced by the low price of their product
.to reduce their output to their virgin
crops. Of course great.many wage-
earners lose their places and it is
impossible for tliein to get employ
ment here, as there is none to be had.
However it is just to the mill owners
and turpentine operators to say tlmt
they are doing their utmost in assist
ing their employes to tide over the
business depression. They are giving
their employes all the work possible
and, although it will cost them
thousands of dollars, they hope to
keep them together and prevent de
moralization. It is idle folly for the
unemployed of other places to come
to Berrien county now expecting to
get employment.
Talking .with one of the most
prominent turpentine operators as to
the county’s loss by the tlniineial de
pression he stated that it would not
fall short of naif a million dollars
from that industry alone. This slate
meiit cun scarcely be gaiiisaved when

Messrs. 11.J, Parrish, John S.
Lindsey, and others who have grown
tobacco this year, in the vicinity of
Sparks, will probably establish a to

Sparks, it being a central railroad
point for all the growers.
The (own authorities of Sparks
have enacted and will enforce rigid
quarantine regulations against all
yellow-fever infected districts in
Georgia and Florida. This actum was
taken not so much on account of
danger to the health of the town as
to its commercial interests.
Berrien county is to be represented
in the Girls Normal and Industrial
Institute, at Milledgeville, for the

nobler representatives than she—
Misses Lillie Gary, Nunnn and Lilia
Lamb, of Nashville, and Lillian Mc
Millan, of Alapahu.

such methods of selling worthless
goods they do not want positively
and unequivocally. All such ship

railroad warehouses subject to the
shippers order.
