Press Comment.

The PREss is the name of a new as
pirant for journalistic hOnOrs over
in Pike county. 1t is Republican in
politics and is edited and published
by j H. Van Etten, young man OF
ability and considerable newspaper
experience. Pike county isn't very
fertile field for a Republican news
paper, but we believe Mr.. Van Etten
has the energy and ability to make
the PRESS a success. - Lehightor

Creamery Proposition.

The following letter from Keyes
Bros, who run large creameries at
Fit Collins, Ft- Morgan and Loveland,
will acquaint our readers with the
proposition which they have made to
our citizens. There is no institution
that Lamar could obtain now, which
would assist our people and add to
the value of farms more than cream
cry. We hope that satisfactory ar
rangements can be made to secure
this one
Fr. COLLINS, April 10, 1895.
j. H. MEANS, Lamar,
Dear Sir:-Your letter of the 7th
has been referred to me by my broth
er at Denver. Mr. A. j. Hotel has
stated that 700 cows had been sub-
scribed by the farmers there for a
creamery. would like some more
definite information. How great was
the radius from Lamar in which these
cows were procured, and do farmers
understand that this is to be sepa-
rator creamery, and that they will
have to deliver the milk each morn
ing in hot weather, and say every
other day in winter.
We would need say ! acre of
ground near town on siding and side
hill is preferable, but neither neces-
sary, but good things in their way.
Good drainage necessary, and good
place for well if you have no water
works. We want stone, brick or
frame building, one story, IL or IA
it. ports, about 30x50 #. with boiler
room addition, one end IA #. for ice
house. This building ought to be
built for $1,000 or less.
All we ask you to donate to us after
the creamery has been in successful
operation two years is the building
and lot. We will equip the plant
with machinery which is quite e1-
pensive, separators alone costing
$500 each. We have made an envi-
able reputation for our butter and
are very short of butter now. Five
hundred extra pounds per day would
no more than let us out. So that if
we do anything at Lamar we are as
anxious to get at it as yourselves.
Yours Truly,

ATLANTA's BIG FAILURE.
Sensational Reports AAoat About n
Bank Prove Untrue.

Atlanta, Ca, Jan, 25.-The failure Of
the Georgia Mining. Manufacturing and
Investment Company, which was report
ed in these dispatches yesterday with
liabilities as announced by the officers
of some $4,000. ana 100000 in assets.
was the cause OF some sensational re-
ports in business circles to-day. 1t was
reported the Bowerg Banking Company
of this city held s2oooOO in claims against
the company. and that the company itself
was insolvent. Investigation, however,
proved the Indebtedness to the Lowery
Banking Company to be something less
than 100000, and THAI the bank is amply
secured by bonds Of the distressed ton-
cern.
The most sensational report In circula-
ton regarding the failure, came in the
shape Of the alleged Insolvency of the
Georgia Mining, Manufacturing and In
vestment Company, and the prediction
of lot of litigation by unsecured cred
itors. The Georgia Mining, Manufactur-
ing and Investment company is a cor
poration separate from the various other
corporations which it operates and con-
trolls. being in some degree similar to the
old Richmond Terminal Company I'm its
connection with the railroads. Out of
this fact the report grew that the concern
really had no assets Of it's own, but
the corporations under lts. lease and con-
troll would come in and claim the visible
assets.
When interviewed on this line this after
noon Attorney Thomas l.. Bishop, rep
resenting Julius l.. Brown, general man
ager and receiver for the company said:
THE Georgia Mining Manufacturing and
Investment Company is a solvent cor
poration, able to pay 3 for / on its lia>
bilities. While 1t operates some of the
corporations under 1t under lease, 1t owns
in some cases ALL and in other cases nearly
all, of the stock in these companies.
This stock and the bonds are the assets,
and subject to the payment of all the LA
bilities against them.
The company owns all the stock of the
Dade Coal Company, S85O000, and s272, 600
in bonds; all the stock Of the Castle Rock
Coal Company, 100000; all the stock of
the Barlow Iron and Manganese Com
pany, $4,000; all the stock of the Georgia
Iron and Coal Company. $500 900; all the
stock of the Walker Iron and Coal Com
pany, 100000; all the stock Of the Chatta-
nooga Iron Company, 100000, as well as
$4,000 of its bonds.
Besides other liabilities, the company
owes the state $4,000 for convict rental,
and $4,000 to free laborers at the various
works.

THREE JAIL BIRDS ESCAPE.
They Cut an Iron BAR and Dig "a
Hole in IA Brick Wall.


ocala, Fla, Jan. 25-Albert Stevens.
Jenkins Lambright and win White, all
colored, broke Jail last night by saving
a bar overhead in a cage Of the second
tier. Using an iron bar to dig through
the brick wall. they took their blankets,
which they used as ropes to lower them
selves TO the ground, scaled the 1O-feet
iron fence and left for parts unknown.
The bar was sawed, and the men must
have worked some time at it, as each
nights work was concealed by soap so
that it could not be noticed.
Stevens and Lambright were under life
sentences for killing George Gowan at
Spring Park in JULY 1893. and Sheriff
Hodge was expecting an agent to take
them to the turpentine farm the day
after their escape.
Their lawyer, Radman, made applica-
ton for new trial, but it was denied.
VIII White was in for murder at Early
Bird, but had not yet been tried. The
Jail was supposed to be steel proof and
had been thoroughly tested.
