shan We Have AZ Aerleal.aral woraar


The proposition from a Michigan
Agricultural Works, published by
the LEAF CHRONICLE a few days
ago, has attracted a good deal Of at
tention and awakened a lively in
terest. Gentlemen have suggested
that we should have a Board OF Trade
meeting and appoint committee to
investigate the whole matter If nee
essary send a committee to Michi-
gan to see about the matter aud the
condition of the establishment.
We shall probably hear more
from the parties in a few days and
then it will be time to take some &C.
ton. Our people have long talked
of an agricultural works here, but
nothing has ever been done in that
direction, for the want of practical
men, experienced in the business, to
manage it. Now we have the OPP
portunity of securing both practical
men and capital with trade already
established. 1t is no small considera
ton to move plant with $4,000 in
stock and men to manage it to this
city, besides Il large number OF
skilled operators, and we ought east
Iy to increase the stock ofsuch plant
$4,000 or $4,000. There are hun
dreds Of people all around in this
county who have the surplus, which
is idle and doing no good that would
make such an enterprise a very
profitable concern. AS a matter OF
course our people would have to be
made satisfied that the men, who are
strangers, and the concern are all
right and capable of making
il success. GAINESVILLE is most
favorably located and sur
rounded to achieve great sue
cess in the manufacture Of all iron
and wooden articles in common use,
and nothing is more wanted or better
suited to this section than a first-ciass
agricultural works. We hope that
something will come of this PROPOSE
tion

G. B. WILSON q co.
sewanee Planning Mills Reorgan-
lied.

II. w. Ritter and r.. Y. johnson
have bought an interest in the Sew
anee Planning Mills. The business will
hereafter be operated under the
firm name of G. Il. Wilson d Co., as
heretofore. This Arrangement will
not int 4rfere with Mr. Johuson's
present duties as representative in
the Legislature, but we are glad to
state that after the close of such du-
ties to the public Mr.. Johnson
will move to the city and becomesac.
lively engaged in the business. This
makes a strong team of reliable, ac-
tive business men, and affords capt.
tai for enlarging the capacity of the
already extensive concern TO meet
the growing demand. Mr.. johnson
is popular gentleman of many eX-
tended acquaintance, both in Ten
nessee and Kentucky. Mr.. Ritter
has been the competent foreman of
the concern for number of years,
and is IA fine mechanic and a gentle
man held in the highest esteem.
G. B. Wilson, the old reliable, 50
widely known in the business, re-
mains at the head of the firm. Mr..
Wilson has a knack for fitting up Gus
toners with anything they may
want in wood work except a coffin,
and he could put up very fine job
of architecture in that line rather
than disappoint a customer. He has
been connected with the en- 'erprise
since it was first esta hlished, over
twenty years ago, and the concern
has continually prospered under his
management.
We predict under the new organi
zation continued prosperity for Sc
vance Planning Mills.

Meeting of Public School Directors.

Superintendent p. l.. Harmed has
issued notice for meeting Of pub
lie school directors from the various
districts of the county at the County
court room at 10 O'Clock Saturday,
February 81. This is a move in thu
right direction and has for its object
the advancement of the public school
interest. 1t is IN important meet
ing and every school director in the
county should attend. The super in
tendent manifests a desire to i'm.
prove the school system, something
that is greatly needed, and to which
every good citizen of the county wi II
say amen but to accomplish any re-
form or make any advancement lac
must have the hearty and active go
operation of both the directors an
teach rs. II the directors will joi
in the move there will be no trouble
about the teachers, and il directors
haven't enough interest in this i'm
portant question of education to
meet with the superintendent occ l..
sionally and cooperate in any good
work set on foot, then they would dc
themselves credit and their constit
uents favor to resign and let Others
be elected who will. Much complaint
has been made and blame attached
to directors for their lack of interest
in this matter, and it is to be hoped
that no more will be heard Of it, and
that the call Will result in a full meet
ing and some earnest work.

with the arrival of that hour the home
seekers gathered on the border made d
headlong rush over the line into the coy

OKLAHOMA CITY, o. T., Sept. 2a.-The
absurdity of the manner of the opening Of
the lands east of here to settlement cannot
be appreciated by outsiders. The govern
ment has no doubt tried TO make
it so that the honest settler could
secure a homestead for himself. but
the constant petty intriguing that has been
maintained by territorial officers and politi-
cal buns has almost succeeded in destroy
ing every vestige OF a chance for the poor
man. The honest men who made the race
and settled on Il quarter section of land Will
be greatly disappointed when they go
to the landoffice to make their
filing and find that some lawyer has filed
before him without ever havi seen the
land.
Governor Steele's action postponing the
opening of the county seat town sites is by
some condemned. This action alone is al
most certain to preciptate riot. Both of the
prospective county seats are growing with
soldiers with orders to eject every man that
puts his foot in the sacred borders. In the
meantime the crowd is encamped about on
all sides. \ few of them are not provided
with even ordinary camp comforts. Water
cannot be had fora distance of five miles.
and the suffering is simply terrible,
but still not Il man can be persuaded 10 quit
his place. so anxious is lie to secure a town
lot.
Governor Steele outlined his intentions
in regard to the opening of the new county
seats when he declared that he
would go 10 the north county
seat first. inspect its survey,
and if he approved of it he would declare
the townsite open for settlement; he would
Their proceed to the south county seat, where
he would go through a similar performance
As matters now stand nobody knows
when the lot grabbing will commence. but
it will probably be no later than Thursday.

lands the usual clause which requires the
