was written, published elsewhere) in
which some OF the needs of our town
and county were stated, Mr.. Jos. New-
burger, of Coffeeville, Miss, and well
known here, as if in answer to our de-
sires, came into our office and author
lied the following announcement:
He proposes, il he can secure the aid
and cooperation of our citizens, to short
ly establish, thorougly equip and put
into operation in this city, an Ice Facto
ry with capacity of three tons per
day. cold storage room for the pres
ervation OF liquids and meats, and a first
class saw, planning and shingle mill, with
large capacity. He states that if the
citizens Of Grenada will provide him
without cost, with a location with a
river front, and will subscribe for $4,000
of the stock, that he will himself
subscribe for $500 of stock, and guaran-
tee $2500 more from outside sources.
Mr.. Newberger is universally known for
his vim and industry, and he offers his
cooperation in earnest, believing that
the enterprises will prove largely profit
able, and that Grenada, is most advan-
tageous location. He will if the matter
receives the serious consideration of our
public-spirited citizens,-which it will
undoubtedly,-come down and submit
for the public examination and discus
sion, the plans he has draughted,- the
estimates he has received from manu-,
iacturers, and the statements OF cost and
profit. There is no ice factory, selling
ice to the public, between Jackson.
Tenn, and Jackson, Miss, and none on
the M. & T. R. R.
In the winter season, when the Ice
Factory will not be at work, the mil
will operate, saving and working up the
cypress, oak ard hickory timber OF the
farmers along the river. These enter
prises would afford continual employ
ment for large number of hands anc
add largely to the business interest anc
resources of the town and county. Will
little extra cost dynamo OF suficien
capacity to furnish electric light to tht
whole city could be obtained in even
the latter should be deemed a paying
investment.
Mr.. Newburger who has been interest
ed in the study of the subject, and wh'
has prepared most careful and conserva
tive estimates, is thoroughly and sincere
" convinced that in the enterprise pro
posed above, with proper management
there will be profit at least of from 2
to 40 per cent. Mr.. Newburger is ant
has been for years the head centre o
progress and almost the life OF Coffee
Vile, and if there is anywhere a NOR
enterprisipg, wide-awake and stirrin
gentleman, we do not know him. Fl
is already interested financially in ou
Compress, in our Building and Loa
Association and other movements. W
are rejoiced to see man OF sue
push and force, and a gentleman of sue
business integrity and capacity, interest
ing himself in Grenada.
We want TO state in few PLAIN simpl
words to the business men, tax payer;
and real estate owners OF Grenada, tha
il we do no more than to hold our own
something must be done for the benef
and aud advantages of our community
and that too at once. We would advls
our readers to take Fan active inteI
est in this subject and secure Mr.. New
burgers presence here at the earIles
moment practicable. Again we say tht
the solem fact is staring us in the face
