TOWN OF WHITE HALL.
From an Old Field to "A HustlinS Busi-
moss Town in Six Years.

WHITE HALL. VA, Dec. 30-Special-
To give a true conception OF the remark
able industrial growth Of this town 1t Is
necessary TO glance at the past few years
OF its history. which has been one Of con-
tinued progress.
In 1893 when the c. and o. Railway
Company extended a branch from Aro-
viaia 10 Rosney, there was nothing here
but one cabin, occupied by a colOred
fnmily and there was only one siore ID
this section OF Buckingham county, about
a mile from White Hall, which had a
business OF perhaps one thousand dollars
n year Before the railroad was completed
the White Hall Company was organized
and bought the tract OF land on which
the depot was located. and on which the
present town Of White Hall is built.
During its history OF six brief years
White Hall has grown 10 a place having
six stores for the sale Of general mer-
chandise. doing a total weary business
OF $4,000 one Arst-class hotel. two ware
houses for the sale Of leaf tobacco, one
complete factory for rehandllng leaf to-
bacco, two blacksmith shops, one cigar
factory, one handle factory and one wood
working plant about twenty-five rest
dences and a graded school. II IS sig
nifcant fact that I'm its hie-ory there has
never been here licensed place for the
sale Of whiskey
At every election, on the whiskey ques-
ton. II went dry by a big majority.
Mr.. II. NJ white, general manager OF
the White Hall Company, says that the
business Of his company for the past year
has been very satisfactory. having reach
ed the hieh-water mark Of $3.50 90; that
they have six sawmills. located in differ
ent parts Of the county. cutting lumber;
that they have contracts for all they can
nut out at satisfactory prices. that Tor
next year they have contracts for 10000
railroad cross-ties. that lhcy are nos
filling an order for five million pounds
Of sumac and that he expects his bust
ness for next year to exceed this year,
owing to the advance In lumber OF all
kinds.
The Planters Warehouse Company
completed for this season a commodious
warehouse for the sale OF leaf tobacco
The company expects to build during the
coming summer a well-equipped factory
for rehandlng tobacco.
The Lynchburg Tobacco Company have
been running their factory steadily all
the fall. s,emming and drying tobacco,
giving steady employment 10 about forty
hands They viii resume work Jan. ,.
The tobacco business is destined to be-
come an important factor in the indus
trial development of White Han. The
country that is tributary to the place
raises annually millions of pounds or me
finest dark tobacco. This is the third
year since the tobacco business was in
aagurated. and Notwithstanding the pres
fige which the older markets enjoyed
White Halls tobacco market is making
name for itself aud is winning the con-
ndence Of the planters generally.
