Many of our people know that a charter has been granted the Wellhouse Paper Co., for the purpose of erecting a man¬ ufacturing establishment at the paper mill for the manufacture and sale of almost any article that can be mentioned, and for the past few months this com¬ pany has been arranging to build a cotton factory. This has been stated so often that many of our people have be¬ come skeptical and are prone to pass the matter lightly but all indications lead us to believe that this mil! will yet material¬ ise. Several hundred dollars have been spent in prelimina¬ ries and unless all signs fail the mill will certainly be bulb. Industries of this kind don’t sping up in a day. but are brought about gradually. This one is gradually coining to a head, so we are informed, and worn is liable to l egin on it. w itli in a short time. We wait patiently and contin¬ ue to hone for advancement an Y a!ld ad BUSINESS OUTLOOK. The prospest for business in Oonyera this fall was never brighter in any past year. Crops are univers illy good and far mers have bought less on time than evei before. The ca3h trade through the summer has held up remarkably well and this fall, if the price of cotton holds up within the bounds of reason a streak of prosperity will hit 11s sure. Some new firms will open up here within the next few weeks and the renewed competition wi}1 do much toward makin S busiuess better. 7 'hero is a fair prospect in front ' of t,ic P eo P le and l!ie y are - !nakin g ready to use it to the be&t advantage, We have a fi ood old tovvn and if everybody w ’ d P ul ‘ together we will make some l° n £ slides forward this fal1 • o .A. = 3 ? o> :o. 2: - c The Kind You Have Always Bought Signature nf VETERANS!

IT. Thompson, Cham Com BAD WRECK. Two trains ran together on the Central railroad in Coving¬ ton Monday, The trains met on a trestle and came together with an awful crash.

For the past few weeks our people and especially the far rners, have been wishing for rain. The crops needed rain— in some sections it was badly needed. For the past week the weather has been tin earning and considerable rain has fallen. L is now be ing predicted that we will have more rain than is wanted from now on—some fear that so much water wql fall it will be difficult to save fodder, We hope this will not. be the case and that the gathering season may be propitious.
