NEW FACTORY
Almost An Assured Fixture.

The committee consisting of
Mayor LaMalle, John Charles and
7. Allen, Jr., appointed to investi-
gate the knitting works proposition,
etc, were in Milwaukee last week
and on Tuesday evening of this
week submitted their conclusions to
a gathering Of our citizens. After
an investigation Of the success of
several knitting factories and an
examination of the plant offered
them, it was deemed by the com
mittee as 4 better move to secure,
which is possible, weaving and
wooden mill plant near Milwaukee.
Upon a presentation of facts and
figures the citizens heartily acqui-
esced, and Messrs. w. p Gundry,
w. A. Jones and w. J. Penhallegon
were appointed as a com mittee to

individual whose price is S., 900, and
after paying off an Indebtedness of
$500 he is willing to put the bal
ance in as stock He is a skilled
workman Of well reputed integrity,
and assured the committee that there
was enough contract work under
way to keep thirty hands employed
all summer
The canyassing committee went
out among our business men few
hours yesterday afternoon, and
readily got signatures for fully
$4,000 which, with what the owner
Of the plant puts in, leaves but a
trifiing sum to raise, and there is no
doubt in the public mind but what
those who have not been seen, yet
are understood to be willing TO take
stock in the enterprise, will eagerly
gobble up what is left.
a new building s5 by so feet,
three stories high, will have to be
erected, and it is expected that
within a few weeks the same will
be in course of construction.
