The whele plant, bui dmgs, ma

larger, but no expense and effort has
been spared to make this an ideal
mill, and all the many mills put up
by the members of this company
have contributed their experience
to make the Griffin mill the best.
How valuable an industry this
adds to Griffin’s cluster cun better
be tcld in figures than in words.
The plant occupies five acres en
the eastern outskirts, with SOO feet
frontage on the Central railroad

part of it two stories high.
Its total coat is $65,000 ; its cap
ital, $50,000 ; the value ©£ its pro

It will employ 45 men 125 days,
during which time its wage roll
will ba $350 a week. A lesser num
ber will be kept busy all the year
around- «
Tne Cira-’t v of the mill is 4 0 lon«
of seed, making 1,800 gallons of oil

Coxcord, Ga. .lanuai v 20.—Tne con
tinued oold wave here Fas some
what abated and all the diffeient
branches o f business here have
greatly improved the past, few days.
The town here is still g rowing in
the eastern and western portions.
Why not extend it- a little in the
northern and son them pVrts with a
cotton factory, oil mill and bank?
They are much needtd and are now
becoming a necessity here.
There is doubtless enough capital
here and wo know of no better
iooation in Georgia for the ent-er
piisesi
D . W. Story and J. Newton, two
prominent gentlemen formerly of
Neal, but now have recently moved
here, have opened up a grocery
store and a livery stable, which adds
another enteroi'ise to the prosper
ous and thriving little town.
W. S. Pearson, of Tyler, Texas,
who has been spending s jme time
with relatives and friends
ar und here, left here Bunday
night for his home in the L ine Star
State. Mr. Pearson is an old Geor
gia boy, who moved from this
c ountry many years ago. He gave
us 50 cents before he left aud said:
“Send me the G S W. I like it '
especially because it gives more in
teresting nows from Georgia than
I post-ibly could get from any other
source.” You are right, brother;
that is just what they all say who
go from here to other States, and
who know a good thing when they
se<) it
Mr. Frazer, of Jolly, has moved
his sawmill on the Smith brothers’
new farm near here They will
have all tbeir timber sawed into
lumber and the lard cleared up pre
paratory to patting out nursery
stock
John D. L°ach and family, wh®
mevdfrem here to Tifton last
winter, but now are at Fitzgerald
are visiting h^mtfolks here. About
the fin-1 thing he did was to band
ue 50cents to pay his subscription
t, > the G. 8. W. and said “Chang®
my paper from Tifton to Fitzgerald.”
Henry Morgan and Mis-i Addie
Gilbert, cf near here, were happily
nnited in marriage Thursday at the
reudenoe of Fquire J. T. Beckham.,
whooffio atel. We wish for them
a successful and happy life.
The school board of trustees is
especially request'd to meet kt M.
G I Saturday at two o’clock p. m.
A full attendance is desired, ' as
