The stockholders of the Bnrnes ville Manufacturing Cos. held a meeting at the City Hall last Friday with regard to getting their property in shape. Nothing of importance transpired at this meeting and another meeting has been set for Monday August 17. It is confidently expected by the attorneys for the stockholders that the Supreme court will hand down its decision dismissing the receivship of the mill the latter part of the week. The following letter has been mailed to each of the stockholders. “By order of the directors and stockholders, a meeting of the Baruesville Mf’g Cos., is called for Monday, August 17, 1903, at 10 o’clock a. m. at this place, for the purpose of arranging to start the Mill in operation and other business that may come up. It is up to the stockholders to either save their property or let it get into the Courts again and be sold, in which event they would get nothing. The crisis is on us, it can’t be postponed longer, and whether the mill will be saved or lost will depend on the meeting of August 17. This will be our last chance, and everything depends on what that meeting will do. If you never attended a meeting be fore, attend this one.” Signed by the president. Porch=McCowan.
