Walhalla Courier: "The Perry Brothers
have received eight knitting machines
for their stocking factory in Walhalla,
which are being placed in position, ready
to commence work about the first of May.
The capacity of each of these machines is
| about four to five dozen stockings per
day. This will be new and important
industry for this section of country, and
| we hope it will prove profitable to the
young men who have made this venture
in manufacturing in our midst"
In company with our young friend,
| Willie Crayton, We took a horseback ride
late Tuesday afternoon out to the Gen.
| erostee Stock Farm. We arrived there
just as tho big herd OF cattle were being
| stabbed for the night. notwithstanding
the lateness Of the hour and our limited
time, we could not resist the opportunity
of going through the stables and looking
at the fine cattle. It is a sight worth
walking miles to see. At some future
time we propose telling our readers
something about this enterprise.
Our Pickens friends are anxious for the
Savannah Valley Railroad to be extend
ed to that place. The Sentinel, of last
week, says: "Should the Savannah VAL
ley Railroad be extended to this place, it
is evident that Liberty Station and town

the road extended via that place. The
question is now being quietly agitated,
and the friends Of tho movement claim
that the road via that place would be
shorter and develop p better section Of
country than it would via Easley Sta
tion."
On last Saturday afternoon u number of
citizens gathered at Mr.. E. B. Murray's
fish pond in the city to see the new steam
fire engine, Pioneer" recently purchased
by the City Council, tested. DIR. r. +.
Diver was in charge of the engine, and
soon had 1t properly fired up, but finding
that the whistle and some other parts we're
of, the test was delayed until he could
procure others from his machine shop.
Soon after his return steam was raised,
and tho stream of water started. Owing
so all leaks, however, the stream d!i not
reach near the height which was expect
ed-the stream only going some fifty feet
In the air. With litale experience we
have no doubt the engine will prove eff.
cient DR.. Diver will thoroughly over
haul the various parts of the engine, and
put it In first. class order. AS sitstands now,
the engine will throw q stream to the top
of any house in Anderson.
