Things are coming the right way now and you fellows who predict ed disaster can stand off and see Lyons grow... Secretary W. F. Staten, of the W. A. k L. railroad, was in the city the first of the week and he tells us that,work on the line is progressing'nicely. He says, that everything is all right now and he can see no cause for further delay in the construction work. Hh is issueing stock certificates to those who have paid up and they are quite numerous. We are getting anxious to see some work start in the track lying line down on this end. Johu L. Huggins, of Atlanta, was in the city several days last week and he has succeeded in or ganizing a chair factory to be lo cated in Lyons. Ten thousand dol lars will be put into the business and the factory is to be located on the line of the W. A. & L. so that a siding can be put in. The Com pany will make a specialty of a pat ent chair, but they will make all other kinds of chairs as well. The application for the charter will appear either in this or the next i issue. ;»■ 1
