MECHANICAL ENTERpRIsE.-The extern
sive Coach Factory of Major W. j. Hawks
was completely riddled during the war. One
Of the shops unroofed, the sheds and but.
buildings destroyed, not piece of wood work
or light Of glass left on the premises. His
loss in stock on hand was entire and complete,
and amounts in the aggregate to many hun

with that indomitable will which is his wont,
has gone to work at very heavy outlay, and
rejuvenated his whole establishment. When
the debris is removed from around and about

desire and have the ability to procure any
article in his line.
