Industrial Notes.

| Mr. Hewitt's attention was a few days ago
called to the statement that he was about to
move his plant South by reporter of New
| York paper, but he was non-commttal on
the subject" He was asked about the further
statement that his lronton, New Jersey, Steel
Company would be consolidated with other
companies and located at Bristol. This he
denied. The same paper states that it is quite
we'll understood that Mr.. Hewitt will move his
plant South in the spring. There is reason to
believe Mr.. Hcwiti's eye is steadily fixed on
Big Stone Gap.
The plank walks are being slowly laid. But
why are not the crossings made at the same

building a bridge, leaving gap in the middle
of some thirty feet, requiring the pedestrian
to wade through or swim over the deepest part
of the river. In other respects the work, III
Guiding that of the engineers and contractors,
is we'll done. But to wade through mud knee
deep to get from one plank walk TO another is
not pleasant performance.
The Posr has now full corps of printers
