to conducting their business on a strict

OUR LARGE BRICK YARDS.
Gainesville enjoys the rare distinc
tion of having a large brick plant own
ed and operated by a lady—Mrs. P
Pfeifer, This manufactory is situa
ted east of the Southern railway, has
capacity of 25,000 brick per day, and
employs from 25 to 40 men. The ghme
was founded by Fredrick Pfeffer,
who departed this life in 1895. ’ Upon
her husband’s demise, feeling keenly
the responsibilities of her household
and family, Mrs. Pfeifer took personal
charge of the plant and its business
affairs, with only meagre ideas as to
its details, to support her in the ef
fort. Being a true type of the sturdy
and thrifty Germftn nationality, it is
but the natural outcome to say that,
she has succeeded most admirably.
She has also made wise investments,
has a healthy and safe income, and -is
now on the high road to prosperity,
and properly educating her children in
the meantime. ' .

THE COMMON ENEMY
Kidney disease is the etiemy we have most to fear as a result of the
feverish restlessness of our modern civilization. It is a treacherous
enemy, working out its deadly effect under cover of the most trifling
symptoms. The first indication of changes in the urine, frequent head
aches, digestive troubles, should be the signal for prompt remedial
measures. PRICKLY ASH BITTERS Is a kidney remedy of great
merit. It is soothing, healing and strengthening, quickly relieves the
aching or soreness that always appears In the advanced stage, checks the
progress of the disease, and-through its excellent cleansing and regulating
effect in the liver and bowels, it -brings back the strength and ruddy
glow of vigorous health.
A system regulator is a medicine that
strengthens and stimulates the liver,
kidneys, stomach and bowels. Prtckly
Ash Bitters is a superior system -regu
lator. It drives out all unhealthy con
ditions, promotes activity of bod and
brain, restores good appetite, sound
sleep and cheerful spirits. DR. E. K.

In the plumbing, tinsmith and roof
ing plant of Mr. Tillman Funk, Gaines
ville has an institution second to none
in the state-Atlanta not excluded, and
of this we are proud of. Founded in
1887, it has grown to its present pro
portions on merit and well directed ef
fort. Its home on Spring street, ad
joining Evans livery stable, is a large
two-stoned brick building, with 24x144
feet floor dimensions, and owing to
growth of the business even larger
quarters are now being sought, The
scope of its usefulness embraces the
sale and working, manufacture and re
pair, of tin, copper, sheet iron metals,
plumbers’ piping, lightning rods; tin,
slate and gravel roofing; tar, pitch and
sheeting papers, smoke-stacks and
heavy iron work. It will thus be seen
that everything in the rough or fin
ished in its lines, from the smallest
to the largest item, can be served pa
trons in a thorough manner, shortest
notice and quicker time. Among the
more recent large contracts executed
is the rootling and plnmbing work for

slate and plumbing work for the new
$25,000 church building at Carrollton,
Ga., and the American Tobacco Cqg.

items are merely mentioned to show
the local prestige of the house, its far

ability to execute large contracts.
In its operations the plant employs
a force of skilled workmen, and every
item is guaranteed satisfactory.' *;

The importance of a thoroughly
equipped foundry and machine shop,
capable Of turning out work of a high
class, cannot be over-estimated in a
community and territory possessing
many manufactories. The frequent
occasion for repairs to machinery of all
kinds which it is of vital importance
should receive immediate attention,
renders a plant of this character a ne
cessity. This tact was recognized by
Mr. R. I. Mealor more than twelve
years ago, when he succeeded to the
control of the industry now owned and
so successfully operated by him. but
which had previously been operated in.
a crude way. With the growth of
Gainesville and the building up of its
trade in an extensive territory the size
• •
and capacity of this plant has kept cor
responding increase, and is now classed,
as one of the best of its kind in all
North and Central Georgia. In this,
connection it can be said itapatrons are
numbered all over North and Central
Georgia, east into North and South Car
olina and even as far West as Texas.
The machinery department is equal to
every demand,' from a screw-bolt to
heavy'boiler and engine work. The
foundry is one of the most complete of
its kind in the South, castings of all
kinds up to several thousand pounds
in weight being made. Here was
made the iron works from which the
management completed the structural
forms of the new Gainesville Cotton
Mills—representing 125 tons of iron.
The management also make a specialty
of architectural iron works, pulleys,
stamp, cane and saw mills, and carry
a full line of general mill supplies,
from 12 to 15 skilled workmen are: em
ployed.
Mr. R. I. Mealor was born m Clark
county, Ga., in 1849, and has been a
resident of Gainesville sincp 1890. Be
ing a practical workman himself, has
aided largely in demonstrating his suc
cess as a business man, and giving to
Gainesville an invaluable institution-,
of which it is justly proud. ~ Mr Mealor
is public spirited and progressive and
always takes a warm interest in the
advancement of Gainesville’s general
welfare. His word is as good as a
bond, and whatever he agrees to do
may be considered as good as per
formed. He is a Methodist and K. of

tiveness, the high quality of its goods
and only a living profit asked therefore.
