A Voluntary Advance.

The lrona Coal Company Of this place
recently granted their employees an advance
of from IS to 20 per cent. This raise went
into effect February 10th and was entirely
voluntary on the part Of the Company, and
as they now employ about 100 men and want
more as fast as they can get them, it
amounts to a bigs thing all around. The
OUTPUT Of coal now averages 400 ton per
day and IS increasing all the time. The
Company has recently expended considerable
money on improved machinery and the plant
IS fast becoming large and valuable enter.
prise and one for the county to be proud Of.
Mr.. Fred G. Todd, the general manager Of
the Plant is hustler and finds ready sale
for the coal and much more If it could be
gotten out. BY another year quite. little
town will be grown up around the mines.
