Manchester already has on her side OF
the river one of the largest ana most
complete fertilizer manufactures In this
countrywide Allison-Addison Works. She
is also likely to have another. "A Few
DAYS ago a gentleman from Richmond
came to this city to look out for sulta-
BILE site for such a factory. He placed
himself under the conduct of Captain
James A. Lipscomb, City Engineer, and
together the two went on a search for a
location. 1t is understood that the pur-
pose of those interested is TO erect a
mill to grind tobacco stems for fertiiizing
purposes. The gentlemen found several
sites in the First Ward. near the rail-
road. which pleased the visitor greatly.
However, no purchase or rental has yet
been reported Such an enterprise would
pay the city well, and it is safe TO pre-
diet that she will give it welcome.
