A Petty Persecution.

Mr.. w f. Percival showed the Journal
reporter yesterday evidence that the parties
who are engaged in an insulting and petty
persecution of him, will require severe
measures to put a quietness on their proceed
ings. This latest additional insult came
in the shape of photograph representing
ratterrier looking forth from a circular back
ground. Underneath the picture is the in
scription "who says rats" Mr.. Percival feels
a just indignation and assured the reporter
that he should place the matter in the hands
OF an officer with instructions to spare n effort
to detect the guilty parties. The activity of
those who have been pushing this shameful
affair is apparently untiriug, but will doubt
less soon be brought to stop, as Mr. Percival
is thoroughly aroused and means to push the
investigation of this business most vigorously
1t was probably one of these same parties
who sent the Journal scribe Saturday COM
muncation which read as follows:
CoNuNpRux-If it costs Ss.47 to say
rats" how much does it cost tosay whisk-
erses?"
Pro BoNo PuBLIco.
We imagine if the writer of the above Is
one Of the parties engaged in the persecution
OF Mr.. Percival this question will be answered
speedily enough without the aid of printers
ink
Mr. Percival is an old and respected citi-
len and Why he should be singled out
ior such abuse it is impossible to tell. Good
c'usens will earnestly desire to see On end
put 70 this business.

THE AUGUSTA PULP CO.
Is the name OF the Company for Whom
Preparations are Being Made.

"when shall the people expect to see the
pulp milrin operation on the East side, Mr..
Lymanf" asked the Journal reporter the
other evening of the gentleman who repre-
sents the interests of the pulp company soon
to locate in Augusta
"That is question l can give no very
definite answer to" replied Mr.. Lyman.
Both sides, the company of
whom we are to rent the privilege and
building and the pulp company, are anxious to
have the work progress as rapidly as possible.
The high water is retarding US at present,
though a few days work would put us beyond
the hindrance of the water. The pits are
finished, The wall by the fiume is about COM
pleted and the foundations of the building are
almost ready for the floor timbers.
The company will take the name of the
place in which it is to be located and will be
called the Augusta Pulp Co"
"Stll you must have pretty clear idea of
abou, the time required to get things in shape
for your comings"
We'll, sixty days of work will show a
wonderful advance toward the completion of
arrangements. The Southern pine is on the
road and will probably be here inside of
three weeks
when do you think of putting in paper
mill:' queried the scribe.
THAT is an enterprise of the future. 1t
would naturally follow the erection and sue
cessful working of pulp mill, but how soon
after it would be impossible now to determine.
In few weeks we shall be able to give the
Journal readers more definite statements"
