South.
Notwithstanding the fact that July is
usually an extremely dull month even /
during prosperous times. there is a re-
markable degree OF Industrial activity |
in the south, as shown by the large
number of new enterprises organ
lied and the many improvements |
that are being made in old estab-
ments, From the weekly list of new
enterprises, as published in the Manu-
facturers' Record, of Baltimore, of

Considering the fact that the fore
going long list of new enterprises is
simply summary of the leading feat
ures of one weeks progress as con-
densed from the Manufacturers Record
weekly list of a new manufacturing
and mining enterprises, it is quite evil
dent that there is very marked actIv-
ity in the south in this line. If large
corn and cotton crops are produced, as
now seems almost certain, the south
| will show wonderful industrial activi-
ty this fall.
Will Pulaski meyer awake and move
apaoe with the progress of other south
ern towns?
