A Big rn.srpslaa.

Friday afternoon a number of rep
resentative citizens met in the Com
mercial Club rooms TO discuss the
feasibility of organizing a tobacco
factory OF large proportions in this
city. The idea was received with
such enthusiasm that committee,
consisting of Messrs. r. w. Ware, T..
G. Hanbery aud j. ID. Ware, was APP
pointed TO solicit subscriptions to
stock and report at meeting 10 be
held this morning at the Clubs
rooms. These gentlemen have been
at work the last few days and have
subscriptions way up in the thous-
ands. Their final report will be
made at the meeting this morning to
which everybody is invited. A large
attendance is desired as the enter
prise must be consummated this
morning or not at all.
The plan of the organization is 10
raise 100000 in stock, work 10 be
commenced when $4,000 is paid in,
and the balance to be paid as called
for. A $4,000 house will DO built al
once with all the appointments of
flrst-class factory. 1t is estimated
that 100000 pounds of tobacco will
be manufactured each year, giving
employment to over 200 hands. Such
all industry in the community would
be invaluable TO our commercial in
terests.
If our capitalists don't come to time
this morning it is probable the OPP
portunity will be gone forever. The
gentlemen in charge of tho matter
mean business aud don't want to
waste time palavering over the mat
ter. If the 100000 is not raised to-
day, they will organize a smaller
and proceed to business.
We cannot believe our monied men
will let the opportunity slip.

The visiting gentlemen called in the
interest of L proposed new road from
Chicago TO the Mexican gulf, to cross
the Ohio at Shawneeiown and pass
through lIopkinsville and this city.
Their talk was strictly private, and
what came of it is unknown, so there

The above is exactly what took
place in Judge Landcs' Office yoster-

few words with Mr.. Wilson, how
ever, which will be of interest,
He is an exceedingly all'able gentle
man and talks so smoothly and enter
taiuingly that the reporter came near
not getting at the interesting detaii,'
To sum up his conversation we will
say That his company is ready and
waiting to begin work. Tho first

lyto be extended from Chicago 10 The

This section will be built at once as
everything is ready for the actual
work Of construction. Christian
County will be asked for $3.50, 900,
and Mr. Wilson wants the matter
pushed TO an Issue right away. If
the people want the road they can
speedily get il by voting this subsidy;
If not, it viii! go to the gulf by way of
Paducah.
The meeting yesterday was to ar
range the details Of the proposition
which we hope TO give to the public
by Friday. Mr.. Wilson seems espec.
tally DESTROYS for immediate action.
For his part the plan has been perfec-
led, it now remains with the people
TO say whether or not they want the
road. This suggestion in regard to
the matter is obeyed we will be in
the middle of the canvas right away |
and the vote on the subsidy will be
polled early in the fall, GAINESVILLE

The old-fashioned methods and facili-

past quarter of century, undergone q
radical change, and the nose of the old
