Wollen Mills, and the johnson
City Foundry and Machine Shop
were registered by the Secretary of
State last week.
Tribune and Sun The Jackson
Woollen Mills building near the Ice
Factory is ready for the machinery
of the mills. The building is large
and after the best modern style.
We will give full description when
the mill is ready for operation.
Athens Post: We have a speci-
men of gold bearing quartz at the
printing office, the richest ever
seen in this country. 1t has been
tested. and will yield four thousand
dollars to the ton. Where it came
from, or how it got into on
possession, will, perhaps, be told
hereafter. AkA
Murfreesboro News: The cream
cry is still talked of and everybody
seems to be in the notion of having
one. There is no doubt of its being
paying institution to our farmers.
We understand that the one at
Nashville sells all its butter at fifty
cents per pound. Besides this, the
milk will make cheese worth from
10 to Is cents per pound.
The company previously men
toned as working up wooden mill
project in Knoxville, has been in
corporated as the Knoxville Wooden
Mills; capital 500, 900, all subscrib-
ed. Incorporators are @. j. Nc
Chung, C. M. McGhee, E. J. Sanford,
J. d. Cowan, and r. P. Gettys.
Work on buildings will probably
commence about May LIST. 1t is
probable that the Hiawassee Wool
en- Mills, capital $50, 0C0, will be con-
solidated with the new company,
making two mills under one man
agement.
Murfreesboro News: Mr.. T. w /.
Cox, who lives in the 18th district
on the Shelbyville pike, was
re-shingllng his dwelling house the
other day, and found under the roof
a hens nest containing six eggs.
Upon investigation it is ascertained
that all entrance to the place had
been closed since the house was shin
gled in 1888. Jack Fletcher, color
ed, did the work in 1888, and super
intended the re-shingling. The date
of the first shingling is also remem-
bered by Esq. Fletcher. So there is
no doubt but that these eggs are 46
years old. Mr.. Cox presented one
to the News, which will be kept
amongst our curiosities.
Tribune and Sun: Those most
interested in the enterprise, deem
the Company to erect and operate
hub, spoke and handle factory in
this city, as practically organized.
Col. Dancy, Mr.. j. M. McGlathery,
s. D. Hays, Esq, and Mr.. w. A.
Caldwell, are among the stockhold-
ers residing in Jackson and they are
men of recognized judgment and
enterprise. The other stockholders
are from Owensboro KY, and they
are practical men who have the
credit of success. There SCENE very
little doubt but that the enterprise
will soon be in operation, suIta-
BILE building, the old Champion
Mills, near the M. & o., depot hay
ing already been secured.
Somerville Reporter: A little
son of Mr.. Jno. J, Whitaker, living
few miles east of town, came very
near meeting with fatal accident
on last Wednesday. The little
youngster was playing in his ia
theirs barn, tumbling on the hay;
his mother hearing him cry out,
went to see what was the matter.
She found him lying on the floor,
and telling him to get up found that
he could not. He was pinned to
the floor by hay fork. In turning
a summersault he had fallen on the
sharp instrument, one of the prongs
striking the back Of his head, pass
ing along the side just under the
scalp, came out over his eye. 1t
was fearful accident and seems
almost miracle that it did not
prove fatal. The boy is doing well
at present.
