MR. E. G. DAVIS BUYS ACOTTON MILL
Well Known Henderson Man to Be-
come Identified With Manufacturing
Interests In Petersburg.

Mr.. E. G. Davis, who has so sue
cessfully and acceptably filed the Of
ffce Of secretary Of the Henderson
Cotton Mills since the Inauguration
Of that enterprise, has resigned and
will go to Peters burg to engage in
the cotton mill business in his own
behalf The following which is taken
from the Petersburg letter in the
Richmond Leader OF February LIST, sx-
plains itself:
The Blue Ridge Cotton Mills, OF this
city were purchased yesterday by Mr.. E.
G. Davis, of Henderson, \ C., formerly
secretary and large stakeholder OF the
Henderson Cotton Mills.
Mr.. Davis went to Henderson from
Gainesville, Va, and engaged in the
mercantile business. He later took in q
partner and soon turned the business
over to him, giving his time to larger in
tprests The Henderson mills are now
running day and night and their SUCCESS
has been largely due to the ability of Mr..
Davis. He thoroughly understands the
manufacture OF cotton aud his acquisI-
ton of the property in this city will mean
the employment OF considerable labor.
The Blue Ridge Mills have been closed
for some time, the reason ssigned being
the high price of cotton and the low
price OF the manufactured material.
The mills were owned by Baltimore
capitalists and E. H. Blakney, OF that
city, Was superintendent until the mills
closed in November.
While regretting to lose the pres
sucs and influence of such a man as
MIR. Davis it is gratifying to know
he will still be identified with US in
citizenship and large business inter
ests. His family will continue to
live in Henderson, his son Mr.. Robert
Davis alone going with him to the
Cockade City.
Mr.. Davis has ample capital behind
him and he feels assured that he has
good thing in his new undertaking.

 Which never can be filled.
 God in his wisdom has recalled.
 The one his love has given,
 And though his body slumbers here,
 His soul is safe in Heaven.
