n gentleman was heard to say yester-
day "There is more building and gener-

gentleman is right. There is tide
now In the affairs of this city which, if
turned to advantage will send her on
and on at the very crest of high wave
of prosperity and make her future years
great for growth and aflluence. This
IS, however, the time of opportunity.
1t is the seed time when the seed must
be sown or the opportunity Will have
slipped away The mill will never
grind with the water that has passed. =
Lost opportunities can never be re-
gained.
What we need now is a general wax
ing up along the lines. The business
mems association should be constantly
on the alert that no possible gain shall
be lost. 1t should increase its activity.
It should be stimulated and encouraged
to greater efforts. 1t should be i'm
pressed with the idea that liberal
policy and an active disposition Will ac-
compliSh almost anything undertaken
and that eternal vigllence is the price
of success. The general public should
recognize the same truths and when the
tug OF war is upon lis all should pull to-
Sether as one man. In such manner
can this city be brought, in size and i'm
portance, to such d place as is hardly
dreamed OF by the most sanguine

An Unhealthy Condition.

Our Board of health have discovered
several places in our city that need
immediate attention. We are infomed
that they have notified property owners,
and have had parties to look after the
matter. We understand that some of
the parties interested have not as yet
moved in the matter 1t is an assured
fact that our board of health will see
that cleaning up is Immediately done.
These requisites that are essential to
health are neglected too much, and
especially is it more noticeable at this
time of year, when extreme caution
is necessary.

n large Industry.

y representative or the INDEENDENT

Tile Works, six miles north and two
miles west of Plymouth, Wednesday
This is a notable industry of which j
W. Thomas Il Son are the proprietOrS
Its product embraces dram tile in all
sizes from two to twelve inches in diam.
eter and superior quality of pressed
brick.
The plant covers an extensive area
which is occupied hy the factory and
its large dry rooms, kllns, etc, and a
large stock of the finished product.
The machinery in use is of the latest
design for work of this kind and is ac
curate and precise in its operation to a
degree that is surprising. y man shov-
els tempered clay into the hopper and
the machinery does the rest. The work
being done yesterday was that of max
ing 12-inch tile and the mammoth tubes
were delivered as smooth and perfect
as can be imagined. The clay used
this mill is of an extraordinary fine
quality and different from that used in
in brick and tile making any where else
in the state, 1t is close grained, tough
and elastic and burns to a degree of
hardness that makes it good for cen
turies. 1t is believed that this material
would work excellently as potters clay
