The jefferson Lumber and Manu-

cember, 1889, with j. Calvin Nc
Knight president, w. f. shafer
secretary and treasurer, and Ira T.
Mcknight superintendent, for the
purpose of manufacturing and deal
ing in all kinds of building material,
began operations on the first of this
month, and from what we can learn,
started out with very hattering pros
poets. The business of the company.
says the Democrat, is placed in the
hands of young and experienced men,
a sure criterion in this age of progress
and invention that the younger scions
of the 10Th century are fast being
put at the head of important enter
prises and the old fogy ideas of out
forefathers are to be relegated to the
past. We wish the new firm album
dant success, and that their business
for 1890 will show full exchequer.
