neighbor gets ready TO build new

donate few dollars to help il
along. Tell him there is a poor
family down the road who would
be thankful if he would. donate "A

1t was our pleasure yesterday to
inspect the work of the pupils in
room 4, grades 3 and 4, for the
past month. The high standings
of these little men and women
must certainly be very gratifying
to their parents, and their pro-
ticiency reflects great credit on
their teacher, Mrs. Warner.

The Canon City Record today
tells OF the incorporation of the
Gibson Lumber company with a
paid up capital stock of $4,000.
Besides its Canon yards the COM
pany has opened yards and is
putting in stock at Rocky Ford,
Cripple Greek, Lamar, Windsor,
Florence and at Waverly. Illinois.
Here at Florence the Fremont
Lumber company has gone into
the hands of this new company.
D. E. Gibson, the head of the
company, is looked upon as one of
Canon's most thorough business
men, and there can be no doubt
but that the new corporation will
prove success.

 The enthusiastic librarians, Misses PrlscilIa Newman and Lillian Prewi,t. aided by tho members of the w. c. T. U. were ready with assistance and advice to plaoe before visitors tho best literary helps ct their disposal.
 A choice collection of standard and current literature was to be found on the shelves and tables, and it is to be deplored that such good beginning conld not have become well established institution.
 For the benefit of those who, may not know, 1t Is we'll to state that one large book case together with number of val uabIe books were given to the Crowley Ridge Institute, the other book cases were sold, and the remaining literature had passed it's time of usefulness.

PLANTS SEEN IN QUEER PLACES
Ten story Factory Blooming All Over
 uIfh EIowara.

with Flowers.
 Flower pots exposed along the win dow lodges prove that spring is here. There is no better sign. All winter the faint blooms have shone behind the glass of the panes, but now they take the open air like inyalids confined for long, but sonvalescing. They are cariGus things. flower pots, and evil Gen1e the love of nature born in us all s4a staying with us to our latest s,eath. They are seen, too, in the most curious places. There is a huge smoke-grimed factory on the west side. ten stories high. The air about it is thick with coal dust and soot. Yet all summer it's lodges bloom like gardens. One knows that many girls work in that factory The flowers are watered from tin cups that are carried full and dripping the long length of the halls in the luncheon half hour. Men would not take the trouble, but the woman who does not love buds and blooms is as rare as the woman who does not love babies. In either case her think. ing machinery has slipped cog or was built wrongly to begin with. Flower pots and little seamstresses working high up above the city's roar go to- gether as naturally as turkey and cranberry sauce.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1899-07-23

Walking down stone steps with poll ished railings we soon found our selves on another floor, with differ ent machinery for the weighing of the seed ard other ingredients, con- stantly tranferred there from the floor above.
 An incident that is most striking in tue entire building as well as the many others, IS the extreme neat ness Of the machinery. floors, etc.
 Passing into another department, which we were told was where the mixing of the different ingredients take place. This is the most partic. ular department and it is looked at ter by experts, for if it is not prop erly done the beer would be ruined and could not be placed on the mar ket.
 Immense yats of so,id copper are used and many thousand gallons can be made in one Of these vats. You can imagine with what care and atten tion they are given, and also their enolm mity, when it is stat ed that it takes four men two and half days to thoroughly clean one out after being in use.
 The next floor is devoted 10 the manufacture of ice; such huge ma chinery that is in use here is won derful. They clam to have the largest ice-making machine in the world, making five hundred tons daily. h this department they also have their own electric plant, as all their buildings and @ great deal Of the power are generated by electric ity.
 Passing aow1 a narrow passage way we came to the storage-hoase, and advise any of my Pine Bluff friends fl they intend visiting this place to be supplied with a complete outfit of Klondiker. Not one Of our party would dare venture into this freezing place. This is where the beer is placed to terment. IL remains there several months.
 It would indeed tire the reader if l should attempt to give an eatire description of all l was shown, but to give you better estimate Of this immense concern, is to say that it covers an area of fifty city blocks. I trust that this description vii be as interesting to you as the sight of seeing this great plant was 10 me, and fl you should ever visit tbe Mound City, take an afternoon of and visit one of Americas greatest and most advanced enterprises.
