The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1893-01-05

Our article on building cotton factory
lin Marietta and using the Kennesaw Mills
building, has caused serious thought in
that line. We learn that Capt. Evan How
ell of the Atlanta Constitution, has an offer
for the machinery in the Kennesaw Mills,
and if he sells, he will make an effort to
put up cotton factory here. He can get
liberal subscriptions in Atlanta but he
wants Marietta people to be identified with
it. How much will our people subscribe
The company if started, will be capitalized
at 100000 or $4,000 1t would give
employment to two or three hundred hands
and would be great benefit to Marietta
in every respect. In connection with an
oil mill and gin, a cotton factory would
pay big dividends. Let US have it. Since
the above was put in type Capt Howell has
visited Marietta, and Mr.. S. A. Anderson
is negotiating with him with a view of put
ting in paper mill in the Kennesaw mills
building.
