BLAcKsBURG, Dec. 3l.-The Christmas
holidays have passed away pleasantly in
our town. The demonstration of the
small and large boys with their display
of fireworks were rather noisy for those
ola more staid age; but we all enjoyed
it when we were boys. However, so
much noise, as was made in Blacksburg
is not altogether in accord with the peace
full and holy character of the day upon
which the Prince of Peace was born; but
would be more appropriate for Fourth
of July celebration.
The Carolina Sulpuric Acid company
have begun the erection Of a chlorination
building in connection with the Reduction
and Acid works. 1t will be about 40 feet

Mr.. Moxson, who superintended the
building of the fertilizer works, is pre-
pairing to put up the trestles for support
ing the large pipe which will convey the
acid from the acid chambers to the rooms
where the phosphates will be manufac-
tured.
