ACOTTON MILL.
A Meeting Held Yesterday Looking to the
Erection of n Mill.


Erection of II Eiill.
There have within the last twoyears of the
history of Dallas been quite number OF
meetings held and great deal said and
published concerning the establishing of n
cotton factory in this city. 1t has been
shown that those established In other cities
are paving handsome incomes, yet from
some cause, probably want of concert OF
action, nothing definite has been done in
| this direction, and to-day Dallas, ore of
the thrftiest and most substantial cities
| in the southwest, is without cotton mill.
But another and more positive attempt is
now being made TO secure it and the pros
meets are fattering. A few days ago, Colo
| mel Green, a capitalist of Little ROCK, ar
rived in the city on tour OF inspection,
with q view of inveStiDgin some enterprise,
and after looking the city and surrounding
country over, and considering the wants
and necessities of the city, he arrived at
fine conclusion that q cotton factory
was needed, and that it would yield more
on the investment than anything he conld
nut money into. He so expressed himself
TO several prominent citizens who nde an
appointment to meet him 1T the Board Of
Trade rooms yesterday ord discuss tic
matter with view of forming joint stock
company. There were some twelty OF th
lpaUlUk
ent Colonel Stevenson, secretary OF me
Board Of Trade introduced Colonel Green,
who in a brief talk explained the workings
of cotton mill, and commented on the
field for one here. He is interested largely
in one he succeeded in establishing in Little
Rock, which, though yet in its infancy,
paws over 20 per cent on the capital M
vested. Colonel G. s. Mitchell was, IL should
have been stated before, called to preside,
and Colonel Stevenson acted as se'rs-
tary. The latter related what
he knew about cotton mills
and Messrs. Sanger and Blake, VIII 1lesale
dry goods merchants gave some informa-
ton about cotton goods, their make, cost,
etc. Others spoke, and the subject was
generally discussed in an informal way,
and it was finally agreed to open subscrip-
ton list then and there, which was done,
and S34, 500 worth ofstock was subscribed on
the spot, and the building known asthe Par
ker mill, situated at the foot OF Main street,
was put In by Messrs. CASTOR A Thomas AS
Si5 600 worth Of stock, which is TO be used
for the mill. A committee Of three, con-
si.ting Of Messrs. w. l.. Griggs, Alex San
ger and II. G. Stevenson, was appointed to
solicit contributions, or rather stock. The
sum necessary is about 10000, OF which
sum Colonel Green subscribed $4,000 yes
terday. Il is hoped that this effort 10 secure
10 Dallas a cotton mill will after so many
other failures succeed
