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.

The Baptist congregation of Sparks held a meeting last night, for the purpose of calling a pastor for the ensuing year. Elder A. B. Finley, of the llomer- ville Association, held religious ser vices with the Sparks Baptist church the first of,the week. The turpentine business of Mc Queen & Go., at Adel, has passed in to the hands of Ellis, Young & (Jo., of Sayannuli, by right of purchase. Berrien continues to “bold the fort” as the “banner” comity in Georgia in the matter of increase of her taxable resources. Her people should be ami are proud of their citizenship!

Lindsey, and others who have grown tobacco this year, in the vicinity of Sparks, will probably establish a to bacco factory on a small scale at 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 first time at the next session, and il affords the Gazette much pleasure to know thul no county in the Stale will have four fairer, brighter and nobler representatives than she— Misses Lillie Gary, Nunnn and Lilia Lamb, of Nashville, and Lillian Mc Millan, of Alapahu. All persons interested in the Willi- Incoochoe Hinging Convention will lake notice that the time of the annu al meeting been has changed, by or der of the President, from the first Sunday, Friday and Saturday before, in October to the fourth Sunday, Friday and Saturday before, in Sep tember. This change was made at the request of some of the citizens of Sparks, at which place the conven tion iB to meet. We learn that Mr. June Baker was forced in self-defense to fill u negro of a North Carolina cigar manufac turing concern. The local merchant was threatened to be blacklisted with some commercial agency as irrespon sible for bis contracts because be de clined to pay for goods he had never ordered. Too many of our mer- elmnls allow .themselves imposed up on by paying for goods they do not order. They should.put an end to such methods of selling worthless goods they do not want positively and unequivocally. All such ship ments of goods should be left in the railroad warehouses subject to the shippers order.
