much good yictuals Mr.. Cabaniss, OF the

} a sheepin the face again.
After ample justice had been done to
the excellent dinner, the machinery OF the
mill started up and was inspected by the
crowd from pit to dome"
The process of making paper is very in.
teresting in all its details, from the fifth
story where the paper is assorted, to the
next where it is busted and the paper and
cotton is placed in the huge rag boiler in
the next story where it is bleached, and
then passing to the annex where It is
transformed into long roll or sheet OF
white paper ready for the printer to make
his impression.
The plant is capable OF turning out lO,>
900 pounds of white print paper per day,
and has been built under the supervision
of Mr.. ]. 81. Land, superintendent, one OF
the most experienced paper makers in the
United States.
The engines are of the best make and
turn the vast machinery with ease The
big driving wheel that turns this vast
machinery. was cast at Glover's Machine
Shop in this place, which shows that Mr..
]. B. Glover, Jr., the energetic proprietor
is prepared to do anything in his line as
well as can be done by shops in larger
cities. The water necessary to supply the
mill in tine process Of making paper is
furnished from an artesian we'll, now
down about It's feet, pumped out into two
large tanks near by. Mr.. Anderson is
still having the we'll drilled deeper to make
sure that his water supply will be equal
to the demand. Mr.. Anderson has an.
other mill seven miles from town, where
he has been manufacturing paper Tor q
2 years, news, book, manila, and tvine.
s This new mill will give him facilities for
competing with mills located in the north
l and east and will prove a benefit to Ma.
rietta in giving employment to many who
:: need work 1t is said that Mr. Anderson
has spent about $7O,0 900 in putting in the
. new mill. This is vast amount OF money
and il we had that much money we
wouldn't want a paper mill. But it shows
the pluck and enterprise of Mr.. Anderson
He is not afraid to risk his money in it
and it is not feared but what he will make
1t a grand success. he already has patrons
that will take great deal OF the paper
manufactured, and new customers will
3 come Ms a matter of course.
One thing is certain. Mr.. and Mrs. An
derson entertained their guests on this oc.
