Final arrangements looking to tills end

men added to tiie city’s population.
The new industry referred to is the
Columbia Variety Works, of (’olumbia,
Ala.
Yesterday Messrs. J. I*. Wilson, A. A.
Jones tad T. L. Blackwell, of Columbia,
were in Americas perfecting all arrange
ments necessary for the removal of their
business to this city. Kverylliing was
carefully looked,after, and Mr. Wilson
has already returned to Columbia to
begin the work of removal.
The Columbia Variety Works is one of
the largest concerns in Alabama for the
manufacture of lino buggies, carriages
and wagons, and their vehicles are re
cognized as among tho best turned out
by any manufactory in the south. lie-
side* manufacturing they also do an ex
tensive repair business, and have a g«H»d
ized foundry id connection with their
carriage works.
Messrs. Johnson A Harndd will short
ly begin the erection of a large two
story brick building just north of J. J.
Smyth *1* Co.’s stables, which will lie
occupied by the Columbia company as
soon as completed. However, they will
uot wait for the completion of this
building, but will prepare to come at
once, having secured another large
building here w hich they will us© tem
porarily.
Messrs. Wilson, Jones and Blackwell
are among Columbia’s most prominent
citizens, and corne here with the highest
testimonials from their present home.
They are well known by several gentle
men here who formerly resided in Co
lumbia, and these bespeak for them a
cordial welcome to Amcrlcu*.
These gentlemen were as fortunate in
bringing their enterprise to this city as
Americus will be in securing them

sally respected by all elasaca.
He waa .*>7 years old last January, and
