WILL BE MOVED TO MEXICO.
The Santa Fe Nursery Will Be Moved
to This City IN About a Year.

M. B. Wilkerson and son, Kelly
Wilkerson, proprietors of the Santa
Fe nursery, were in this city to-day
and purchased ten acres of land just
east of the cemetery of John P. Clark
for $1,000. 1t is the purpose of these
gentlemen to put men to work at
onc preparing the ground and to
move their entire nursery to this
place within a year or two. When
cen by a reporter for the LEDGER
Mr.. Wilkerson said that at present
the total number of hands employed
in the nursery was twenty, which
number would undoubtedly De in
creased after they had moved to Mex
leo. The nursery proper now covers
20 acres of land in Santa Fe, and Mr..
Wilkerson said that as o as they
moved here they would buy more
land. 1t takes about three years to
start a nursery in a new place and at
the end of this time Mexico will have
one doing business on a large scale.
Mr.. Wilkerson and his o are well
known to the readers of the LEDGER
as reliable business men and we pre-
dict that they will do a splendid bust
ness here.

From OLD Mexico,


Mr.. Henry Weimer, brother of Joe
and Urban Weimer, of this city, is
spending a few days with his brothers
here. Mr.. Weimer is from the City
of Mexico and for the past six years
has been a resident of Old Mexico.
In the last few years Mr.. Weimer has
invented and patented steel pillow at
tachment which bids fair to be used by
all the farmers in Old Mexico and
South America. His object in coming
to this country was to place a large
order for these pillow attachments and
the order was given to the Southern
Agricultural Works, of Atlanta, Ga.
Before he invented the pillow Mr..
Weimer was an expert photographer
and some of his views of scenes in
Mexico are very fine. From the way
in which his invention is being used
there is no doubt that he will
make a fortune from it. Mr.. Weimer
is a most interesting conversationalist
and is much pleased with our city.
He has not seen any of his brothers
for fifteen wears.
