j company. OF Spllman. ne COM
pany has been organized by Cen.
Spilman. who with his brother are
1.-THE principal stock holders, and has.
as It's object the production of
paving and ornamental brick, and
clay shingles for roofing purposes.
gThe company has now twelve kilns
lin complete working order, and
their main building is 6tted
Throughout with the latest and
Imostimproyed chinery for carry
ling out this and kindred work,
l.whiie fhe prospects are that in the
linear future the demands upon their
resources IN the way Of material,
which are practically inexhausti-
bic, vii ~ taxed 10 4 most t.IsltIl.y
ling and profitable extent. The
number of hands at work now
averages fifty men day, but it is
likely that many more will soon,
have to be added to the working
force. AS soon as all machinery is
put in full operation it will rapidly
branch out into one of the leading
industries of our county, and as
such become an institution of
which we can be proud and in
whose development all must natur-
ally be interested. The Register
congratulates the Messrs. Spilman
upon their enterprise and public
spirit in undertaking work of
Asuch magnitude and importance in
the face of the adverse conditions
which are just now too generally
prevalent
Very few people recognise the
important part hens play iu our
commercial life. Saying nothing
of Easter eggs we must remember
that in calico print works 100000
600 dozen eggs are used every
year; wine clearifers use 10000
600 dozen; the photographers and
other industries about 100000
dozen, and these trade demands
increase more rapidly than those
for the table. One is forced to
the conclusion that when DIR.
Watts, of immortal memory, made
the busy bee the standard of use
full activity he forgot the barn
yard fowl.
IF a stranger were to look over
the advertising columns of the
Daily and Weekly Register, he
would conclude there was not
dry goods store in this town, for
not dry goods firm is advertising
in either paper. The .Gallipolis
merchants, however, are using the
columns of both papers quite freely.
Mr.. John r.. Couch, who lives
on a farm opposite Ambrosia, is
talking of pulling down the old
Day house, on five mile, and re-
building it on the hill near Con-
cord Church. He is tired of high
water and wants to get out of the
reach of floods, SO he says.
1t is still the unsatisfactory state
of affairs that we have to follow in
the lead of others. Here even
France comes in ahead of us.
There they compel every bicyclist
by law to have his name and adj
dress on his wheel on metallic
plate.
Whoever heard of two dogs
lighting unless there was man or
boy or two around. And dogs
are like men so far, a great deal is
done for effect in this world. To
be the center of interest is more
than most can avoid.
It is announced that Utah con
templates sending woman to the
10. S. Senate. Let us hope it will
be young one, then. There is a
suffciency of old women there al
ready.
Now the her. is busy laying
Easter eggs, and the chemists
getting ready to dye them add the
people to eat them. And there we
have existence in a shell-birth,
living and dying.

He was committed by Squire j.,
