FINAL PARAGRAPHS.
A GREAT INDUSTRY.
Bright Outlook for Decatur County,

The BaInbridge Democrat states that Mr.,
William II. PolleYs, one of firm OF wealthy
capitalists known as Polleys, Lloyd 81 Co.,
who came to that city last spring, is about
to engage In an enterprise which will prove
of vast benefit to Decatur county. He has
purchased ten thousand acres of fine timber
land, and intends erecting extensive steam
and planning mills near Clouds Spripg.
on Spring Creek, ten miles from
Bainbridge, where he will go into the
business Of saving lumber and tim
Der Of all kinds for the domestic and
European markets. Hundreds of hands
will be employed, and village for the ac-
commodation Of the employees will be
erected. Good water will be secured by
means OF srtesian wells and a fine hotel
will be erected for the benefit OF both en-
pioYers and visitors. 1t Is also propoied to
have schools In the vlllsge-whieh is to be
called Polleysville-fo the children of the
employees, where the tuition is to be free.
Besides all these, Spring Creek is to be
dredged and made navigable for fifteen
miles, from Polleysville to where It empfies
into the Flint river. All these improve
ments, the Democrat estimates, will be OF
inestimable benefit to the people of@Deca-
tur county and to those living along the
creek. The best of it all Is that home labor
is to be employed wherever possible.
