The Decatur Cele bratIon.

The HERALD has received an invita-
ton to be present at the celebration OF
'the opening of number of new and
important industrial enterprises" at De.
catur and New Decatur, in Alabama, on
May 20 and 80.
The HERALD promises to be there. for
this is going to be evidently an inter
esting and instructive occasion, New
Decatur lies in Northern Alabama, in
the midst of great coal, iron and tim
Der region, and its important railroad
connections promise it cheap connec-
ton with the whole Union. Its situa
ton has invited the attention Of capi-
talsts.
The town was laid out and has been
rapidly deve loped by the Decatur Land,
improvement & Furnace Company,
which has expended two million dollars
on the enterprise since its organization
in January, 1887. Nearly forty indus
trial enterprises have been established
at this point, including such extensive
plants as the new shops of the Louis
vile & Nashville Railroad Company and
OF the United States Rolling Stock Com
pany. New Decatur has a perfect sys>
tenn of sewerage, drainage and water
supply, and a most attractive hotel.
Tho following are some OF the indus
tries which are to be in operation at the
celebration:
The new shops OF the United States
Rolling Stock Company, the new shops
of the Louisville q Nashville Railroad
Company, Charcoal Iron Blast Furnace
and Charcoal Works, American Oak
Tanning Extract Works, Decatur Cotton
Compress, Ivens & Sons Foundry and
Machine Works, Southern Horse Nail
Factory, Decatur Car Wheel Works, the
new works oil the Decatur Gas Company
the new plant of the Decatur Electric
Light Company, Decatur Water Works
(thirty-five of mains completely, and
many others, including large wood
working plants.
The New South" fortunately and
creditably for itself, does not forget
schools and churches, for part OF the
celebration ceremonies at New Decatur
will be laying the corner stones Of a
twenty thousand dollar school building
and three new churches, besides fifty
thousand dollar opera house.
The Herald cordially wishes prosperi-.
ty to New Decatur. Politics are not
going to be troublesome when capital,
energy and enterprise 60 ahead in this
this way in the "New South. New
York Herald.
