Many inducements are open to
capitalists. AninSestment in pa
per pillin this city weulds certainly
pay a good profit. There are many
tons Bfpaper consumed in this city
annhalBs ThcNew Era and South
Kentnckian alohe consume several
tons each year. The material for

every year by farmers in this county
IN the shape Of wheat straw. 2A.pa-
per mill here would consume ali the

that would employ ten thousand
hands, and create a home market for
