IMMENSE ORDER
 FOR FREIGHT CARS
Anniston Plant Will Put Up Fif- teen Hundred CarS-A
 Years Work.

Anniston, April Especial )-Au- thentic information was received here yesterday that 1600 freight cars would be built in the Anniston shops of the Southern Car and Foundry Company, and that at an early date work on the big order would begin; also, that the iron work for 1900 other cars would be turned out at the local plant of the concern. This large order for cars will be sufficient to keep the plant of the car works here in operation almost the entire year. It will require the employment of full force at the shops, and this will mean a monthly disbursement of $50,000 to $60,000 among the employees. The local plant is now in excellent shape and prepared to get out the best class of work very rapidly.

Complete in Forty DAYS.

The contract for the new school
improvements on the City High
School building was awarded to
Geo. w. Vaughn. of Grand Rivers,
KY, and work is already in prog
ress. The job is to be finished
within forty days under penalty OF
forfeiture of contract, and the
building is to be done according to
the plans and specifications of
Architect Davis, approved by the
Board of Education. including all
the necessary material and labor to
finish the building. The walls
are to be of cement, done in bars
in imitation of stone. The con-
tractors bond is double the sum of
the contract, and the work will, no
doubt, be pushed rapidly forward.
This does not include sewerage, etc.
Another contract has been let to
Peck. Hammond & Co, of Cincin-
natl, to furnish the heating and
ventilatIng apparatus. These will
be of the latest improved systems.
The ventilator has capacity Of
10. 900. 900 cubic feet fresh air an
hour, the temperature to range
from 65 to y degrees. The air
will be rectifed until it is almost
absolutely pure. This is one of
the most important recent inven-
tons. 1t is said there are only two
or three of these in operation in the
South. 1t will be worth more to
the school than the finest building
in the world, and reflects credit
upon the judgment of the Board.

The following is an account OF
the marriage of Elder h. d. (Dick)
Shultz, well known in this city. his

1t seems the young people met
for the first time in Ell Paso, only a
few months ago, when Miss Lillian
and her mother, Mrs. L. w. Bush,
were visiting at that point.
There were parental objections
to the match, and in consequence
the young minister did not visit

cided to marry, and did so.
The bride is lovely young lady,
and belongs to one OF the WEALTH.

Collin County, being the daughter
OF Mr.. and Mrs. L. w. Bush, of
this city. She was reared here,
and by her gentle and graceful
manners has won the love and es-
TEEN of all who knew her. One of
her chief characteristics has always
been the consideration she has ever
entertained for others. Her wealth
has never been a barrier to her
friendships, and she seems eminent
ly and peculiarly fitted for her new
relation IN life-the wife OF min
lister of the gospel.
The groom has a splendid repu-
tation, and ranks with the foremost
preachers of his church in Texas.
The Advocate hopes that ere this

is to become candidate for the
Office of County Superintendent
of Public Instruction for Obion
County, to fill out the unexpired
term of Supt, Bynum, who will
resign to accept post in the Jack
son City Schools. Mr. Cook has
risen very rapidly in the last few
years among his fellows as teach
er of some breadth and influence.
He has been chosen recently among
the teachers of West Tennessee in
some very important institute
work. As far as we can under
stand, he is thoroughly equipped
in every particular for the office,
and, if we are permitted To say so,
the office is looking for just such
a man. OF course there are other
good men, hut we do not think
there are many who would make
better County Superintendent.

FOR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

In our efforts to secure a full
report Of the meetings of the
Board Of Mayor and Aldermen
we did what we should like to do
at every public meeting in the
city and county We have reason
to believe The COMMERCIAL has
nude a respectable start in that
line, but, as we stated in our first
issue, this is only a part of the
work we expect to accomplish. OF
course we appreciate the compli
ment coming from the Board in
rendering us vote of thanks for
these reports, and we beg to re-
turn our thanks. We are moved
to say, however, our motive in
doing this work was from selfish
interest in undertaking to make a
county newspaper, and only an
accommodation as it might Incl
dentally occur. We are trying to
induce subscribers to take the
paper by giving them all the
county news for a dollar a year.
So far our expectations have been
excelled, both in point of adver-
Using patronage and subscriptions,
and with the present prospect be-
fore us we shall soon be able to
reach out and improve our facil
tiles in all the departments Of
newspaper work.

A. j. LAWSON Uncle Andrew,
who has been considering the mat
ter for two or three months, has
finally concluded to enter the race
for County Judge of Obion
County, subject to the action of
the Democratic party. Mr.. Law
son is a Democrat of the old
school, thoroughly baptized in
the fundamental principles of the
party, hence it is useless TO dwell
upon his politics. As man,
nearly everybody knows Andrew
Lawson, and those who may not
will soon have an opportunity to
meet him. 1t can be truthfully
said he is one of the best pro-
ducts of nature. AS a lawyer, he
is equipped in the practice and
knowledge of law. He is well
known for his high sense of honor
and justice, gifted in the kowledge
of universal law and literature.
In fine, Uncle Andrew is one of
the best men in the world, and
should the voters see fit to give
him the judgshp, the honor could
not 90 to a more acceptable man.

A MAMMOTH INDEX.
Completion of Dsatssh MsssAa List

YSAss.

The index Of books at the British
museum is At Last complete. after 20
years Of hard work. says the st. James
Gazette. When the printing Of the
great catalogue began In 1881. the
manuscript catalogue then used con-
tanned 5000. 900 references to about
half as many books-crosS titles ac-
counting for the difference between
the figures. Since then something like
half n million new books have been re-
ceived ut the museum, their average
yearly number being now 10000. The
preparation of the printed catalogue
has. of course. been enormously ex-
pcnsive. 1t was hoped at the start
to reduce the cost by issuing IL to
.ubscribers. and for yearly subscrip-
ton OF G3 los. a subscriber received
all the parts published in the year.
As the number of volumes issued an
while the subscription remained the
same. the price of each volume fell
from the low sum of Is. Sd. to 2s. +d..
and the revenue from this source has
not been great. Only about $50 copies
Of each issue are printed. and only
about so are circulnted-half of them
4iven away! In all there are over GOO
volumes of the catalogue, containing
the titles of 2,O00,Ooo books. The sub
ject index will be the great task Of the
British museum in the new century.
