quiry.
A number of gentlemen took occa

the expert in the Birmingham News
with News reporter yesterday, ant
the universal expression of opinion
was that no better point in the Soutl
could be found for the establishment
of wooden mill than right here in Of
near this city.
The raw material, they SAID, wa
abundant aud could be aggregated
here under the most favorable circum
stances, and with the cheap labor ant
the principal parts OF the plant neces
sary, already established, and whic
could be bought at sacrifice, ther
Twas no good reason why a woole
mill prepared to manufacture cassl
meres aud blankets, should not be es
tablished at once.
"Fly time" is soon coming and ou
business men will then have an oppol
tunity to cast about for paying invest
ments. Let them, among other thing
look into the proposition to start
woolen mill in this city.-Meridia
