that the building will be taken down and
be applied TO refitting the old Shadwell
mills, four miles east OF this place. and con-
yertng II into merchant mill.
The stockholders OF the Chlrlottesville
WOollen Mills, al n recent meeting, deter
mined to rebuild their mills and double
their capacity. Work on this will COM
mence a. soon as the weather will permit.
Doubling the capacity Of the mills will ne
cessltate the doubling OF the force, and OF
course tenements will have to be erected
for their accommodation. The enterprise
will likely prove Of much greater benefit
to the community as we'll as the stockhold-
ers, il being OF 80 much importance that
large amount OF the stock has been taken
bv northern manufacturers.
Mr.. X. y. Flanagan is preparing to
establish here a sasSafras-Oi mandatory.
Already he has the machinery on the
ground. Immediately west OF the Charlottes-
VILE Gas-Works, on the Virginia Midland
road. This will prove new and profta-
bic industry to many persons in furnishing
the sassairas roots, with which many Of the
farms are stocked, and will be happy rid
dance Of a nuisance.

reported as having stabbed the mayor OF
