The big cotton factory at Mon- tieeIlo had up steam last week. The manufacture of cotton goods will commence soon. This is one of the finest cotton factories in the South. The Monticello cot ton oil mills, which has been run ming two seasons, is being offer ed two for one of its stock. The stockholders of this institution have certainly had a run of good luck.
 Last Thursday afternoon J. A. Buttry, Jr., of Pea Ridge was turning ground for corn and plowed up real den of cannon balls. He lifted them out of their earth en bed, one by one, until he had fifty of these missiles of death by his side. This being the Pea Ridge battle-ground, no doubt they were buried there in 1862 now forty years ago. They are great curiosity, and are valued as mementoes of that awful contest of '60 to '65.

BIG SANDY COAL FIELDS
Chesapeake and Ohio Will Probably
Have Rival There.

Tho Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
Company is rushing work in opening up
the coal fields in the Big Sandy District
of Kentucky. A line, ninety miles long,
is to be built up the Big Sandy River
and contracts for the work have al
ready been let, and. the work is being
rushed as rapidly as possible. Messrs.
c. D. Langhorne and c. I. Johnson, the
well-known railway contractors. have
the job and have agreed to have the
road completed by the summer of 1904
The line will connect with the Big
Sandy Division of the Chesapeake and
Ohio at White House, which is the
present terminus of that division. 1t
will open up a rich mining field and en-
able the Chesapeake and Ohio to great
ly increase its already large output OF
coal Not only is the coal in great
quantity, but it is SO situated that it
can be most conveniently worked.
The Chesapeake and Ohio is not the
only road to realize the Importance of
this field for another company is hav-
ing surveys made in the same region
and the surveying corps of the two COM
panies are working within sight of each
other, and there have even been rumors
of possible conflicts between the two
forces. These have been unverified
Who is behind this company is being
kept very dark secret. Some have
said that the survey is being made IN
the interest of the Seaboard Air Line,
but no veriacation of this report can be
had. If the Seaboard contemplates en-
try into the Big Sandy coal district and
is quietly making plans and surveying
routes to that end the time has not yet
arrived for the officials to make that
declaration. or at least none of them
has done so.
Nevertheless. it is believed by some
who have been to the scene of railway
race-as It may be terrned-that the Sea-
board is at least backing one of the con-
testants, even if it does not own parc
interest in one of the entries.

REASONS FOR THE SITE.
In regard to the selection Of Twelfth

reasons which outweighed all others:
That this is the brow of a hill overlooking

Mr.. Gudebrod, who came from New

NEW AUDITORIUM
ALMOST IN SIGHT
One Gentleman Promises to Give
$I,00o-chamber of Com
merce Likely to Act.

The Chamber Of Commerce will likely
be asked to call q mass-meetlng OF the
people Of Richmond for the purpose of
hall or auditorium in this city.
This step will be the outcome Of the
movement originating with the Rich
mond Education Association, the Rich
mond Art Club, the Lyceum, the We'd
nesday Club and one of the medical col
leges of the city to own Jointly a hail
in, which their meetings may be held
and which will be the home of these
organizations.
a conference will be held this after
noon at the office of Mr.. B. F. John
son, president of the Art Club, which
will be attended by representatives OF
all the organizations named above. The
outcome is likely to be that these gen
tlemen will sign a petition to the Cham
bel of Commerce to take the movement
in hand. The general scheme is for the
Chamber to call a mass-1neeting. at
which money for the proposed hall will
be popularity subscribed.
One gentleman has already said he
would give $1,000, and it is exceedingly
likely that others will be as public
spirited. A joint stock company will be
formed and the stock sold popularity.
This will not only increase the interest
in the hall, make it's ownership easy,
but add popular interest to the york
and aims Of the organizations for which
the hall is wanted.
lie matter has gone so far in in
formal conferences that sites have been
talked of. but, of course, nothing def
mite has been even tentatively agreed
upon. Broad Street has been suggested
and stores on the ground floor, 1t is
suggested. would help bear the eX-
penses of maintaining such a hall. But
the heavy cost of ground on Broad
is considered likely to offset the rental
from the stores.
It has been suggested that when the
hall shall have been completed, a series
of popular and unusually attractive en-
tertainments, possibly bazaar be
given in the new building and the pro-
ceeds be devoted to paying off the
debt.
