 If A. V. l.. will write to the clerk of the court of Henry County, Va, asking for abstracts of Anthony wills she will probably find out the name of H. T. Anthony's father and also his brothers and sisters. and perhaps records of the family for several gen. erations back. The old records in Tuscaloosa. show that he was clerk of the court in 1S22sc many of the old citizens are mentioned in these records and the counties and States from which they came are given in many in stances.

Every thing is done by the electricity The switchboard is the largest in the South and is connected with more than SO motors, which represent 6.0O0 horse power, and light the buildings, the cottages, the city and run the cars of the Columbia Street Railway Com pany. Electricity brings in the coal and takes away the ashes from the furnace rooms; it fills an S00.00o gallon reservoir that supplies the boilers and village with water: it riins the eAeva. tors, brings the cotton from the ware- house to the spinning machines; .car- ries away the finished product and op- crates hot air fans in winter and cold air fans in summer.
 "All this is not done as a luxury. but for economical reasons, although 1t cost $1,SO0.0O0. The ordinary expense of building and equipping a New Eng land steam mill is about sf5 d spindle, but the Olympia mill cost only S13.5A spindle; the annual expense for re- pairs Is about one-half those of the or- dinary New England mills of the same size. and the uniform speed of the cleo tric machinery produces an average of per cent more goods to the machine"

The CO., lurlbia mill, a mamoth institution for manufacturing cotton duck, was the first in the world to adopt electricity, and within the last three years four other big mills have eenesimilariy equipped, making Columbia the most important center for electrical textile factories.
 The Olympia mill is probably the most complete cotton factory in eX- istence. There is nothing in New Eng land to compare with 1t from any point of view The machinery and ap- paratus are perfect. The esbuildings are models, with the same sort of piumb- ing, heating and ventilating apparatus that is found in the most luxurious hotels The engine room is laid with tiles, wainscoted with Tennessee mar ble and has an artistic ceiling of steel. The floors of the mill are of marble; the walls are wainscoted with hard wood; the sanitary arrangements, the toilet rooms and porcelain bathtubs are good enough for a palace. Every convenience is provided for the benefit of the operatives and every precaution for the protection of their health. The houses they occupy in the village around the mill are all built on artis- tic plans and finished In the most per feet manner. There is a hospital for the sick that is said to be the best in the South. and she medical attend ance and the nursing are free. The management furnishes free Sunday concerts and vaudeville entertainments several evening each month for Its op- eratives and free schools for the mill children.

 | Dear Brother-Besides the uncertain ty of life, things seem to be getting in. to such confusion and the sufferings Of Friends who bear faithful testimony to the peaceable principles we profess are likely to be so great that 1t seems very uncertain whether, from high taxes, hiring soldiers and other such like de- mands, anything will be left either to nav debts or support a family. At this instant my estate is liable to be seized for between five and six thousand
 pounds for the hire of one man, besides l. know not what. for taxes.

 Mir. Daniel .Cribbs and was afterwards called "Eddins Mill" Thus we see that this hardy pioneer. Henry Tate Antht ny, was a public benefactor. He was |. native of Henry County Va, and came to Tuscaloosa ip<1s1s. His

ed in his defense of the resolution,
insisting thatif there was nothing
wrong with the absorption the rail
road companies had no reason to
fear an Investigation, and that the
facts cleaned would satisfy the pub
lie. He was backed up by James
A. Peterson of Hennepin county,
who insisted that the two lines had
been competing roads, and that the
absorption was in direct violation Of
the laws Of the State Henry Plow
man, the Populist leader, from Otter
Tail county, rather surprising both
sides, by opposing the measure,
saying that if there was anything
wrong with the absorption it was
the duty Of the railroad and ware
house commissioners to ferret it
out, and call the attention of the
Legislature to the matter. Repre-
sentative Hickey and Umland,sDem-
ocrats Of St. Paul, opposed the in
vestigation, and after more talk by
other members, a vote on the reso-
luton was called for. It stood So
to 40 in favor of the proposition,
and owing to the fact that the reso-
luton was joint, it required ma
jority Of the votes in the house 60,
and lacked seven votes of passing.
Quite number of represent tives
seemed to oppose the resolution on
the ground that some members
were trying to make political CAPT
tai for future promotion, and they
were not disposed to give their
votes to push the matter along. The
investigation would be expensive,
without a doubt, and there is some
question whether the State would
be a gamer in the end.
During the week that the Mime
sofa Editorial association held its
mid-Winter or business meeting in
St. Paul the Pioneer Press and
Northwestern Newspaper Union, an
adjunct of. the former company,
gave the glad hand to the pencil
pushers in a manner that made the
guests proud Of those institutions.
The entertainment of the boys
from the country was given over
entirely to those two concerns. On
Thursday evening, Condo Hamlin,
the excellent business manager of
the Pioneer Press, and Jos. A..
Wheelock, one Of the foremost edi-
tors Of the world, gave reception
to the editors and their wives at the.
Ryan. It was a pleasant evening to-
the boys from the country, the mus
