and other prominent moneyed and sue
cessful business men of Atlanta, Ga.
have formed q new company for the
erection Of a Gotten mill in that CITY.
The names given will be recognized BY
our local readers as natives of this sec
ton, and men OF capital, progress and
integrity. An Atlanta contemporary
speaking of the new mill says that the
ne" company own fifty acres of land on
the belt railroad, about one-half mile
from the Exposition mills, with boupti-
ful supply of water from large springs
Tor steam purposes. This is an impor.
tant advantage, as it is a well establish
ed fact that steam must be made from
pure water. This is, therefore, a de-
cided advantage in favor of the locality
selected. Experience teaches, also, that
II Is better to locate large enterprises of
tEls Kind where the company own all
the houses and land and can control thu
labor. The railroad company has given
the mill the same rates on all business
as Atlanta enjoys, with switches, side
tracks and every facility. The capital
stock is 100000, a large portion of
which is already subscribed. The COM
pany is a good one, the location excel
lent and a bright future for the mill is
and all who subscribe for the
stock may rely upon large dividends.

pertinent sermon: The Foundry and

home enterprise and deserves the pa
tronage of this entire section. We are
glad TO learn their business has steadily
increased the last year. which may be
attributed largely to the fact that they
have advertised literally in their home
papers and otherwise. Recently they
have added to their works a frst.class
woOd-planer, matching and moulding
machine. They are prepared to do su-
perior work in this line as cheaply as IL
can be done anywhere, and fully as
well. Lumber can be shipped to them
from anywhere along this line of rail-
road, worked and returned cheaper than
1t can usually be done by hand. Those
desiring anything in the line of Messrs.
Witt q Sons business, will do well to
correspond with them before procuring
elsewhere.

SOMETHING NEWABoTc TBEsn,

SOMETHING NE WABO UT THE SUN
Although Solomon told us, nearly 5000
years age, that There is no new thing
under the sun, it 10 a well established
fact that some startling discoveries have
recently been made in the sun.
Men have always had some vague
idea of its heating power, but of its
ether mighty agencies and influences
they were largely ignorant.
1t is subject rs fascinating as it ia
instructive, and il is worthy of our
earnest attention, especially when so
admirable a work as "TAe Celestial
Symbol Interpreted" advertised in
another column, published by ]. @.
McCurdy s. Co., Philadelphia. Cincin-
natl, Chicago and st. LsuIs,) is within
the reach Of every one.
The learned author not only acquaints
US with and makes plain the newest
scientific discoveries. but he also teaches
at every step, some great moral truth.
Lest we be accused Of undue enthusi-
asm in speaking of this book, we take
the liberty of quoting the opinion of the
able and critical ". Y Observer:
"This work has been carefully ex-
amined by eminent, learned and ortho.
dox divines, whs unite in testifying to
its great beauty, usefulness and truth.
To some, the analogies may appear
strained, yet they are not more so than
the fgurative language Of the Bible
fairly warrants. and the illustrations
are fitted to exalt cur conceptions OF the
glory of God in nature, and especially
as IL Is seen In the brightest of all Hia
works. The reader finds the evidences
OF Gods power and goodness constantly
reflected from the Sun in these pages,
and is led from admiration mp to that
alteration which becomes the creature
contemplating his Divine Maker"

These Watches are all open face. The bezel.

an especially prepared waterproof cement, is at

thus forms an sir-tight junction with the body of
the case, which is proof against dust and mois-
