One day strOlled up River street
as far as the large mill just III En
edge of town. Being ,someMn' =
weary, l stopped beneath a ga
ma gnolia which grew by the roaS
side. A small live oak stood near 49,
and their leaves were whSp' rlhs'
so sat down to hear the CONVERSE
ton. ,.i,d;na
"Tell me about this great building
here" murmured the oak. The mag
nolia sighed. II can remember, IL
said slowly, "when instead OF Cils
CHATTER ard noise, there was only the
sound of the river flowing beside the
bank, where | and my companions
grew" 49,, .,uoor
."Did the river flow along hereY
rustIed the little tree in great sur
Prise MALTA
YES" replied the old magnolia,
uand I have seen my own branches
mirrored in the clear, deep water,
Sometimes the children came TO pay
in my shade. But surely ana lrreslsC,
ably the river was forced back rom
its ancient course, and my near
grew sad as it's bed was partlallE
filled with debris and refuse OF an
ferent kinds. On this mud a mn
was erected in the summer OF 1889, by
Tilghman, Sons & Company. IhlS
first mill cut both pine and cypress
but il was small compared to the
present building. All the sawdust,
refuse lumber and other waste ma
terial were being distributed around
the mill, so it finally became dry
land.
"In 1893 the Tilghmans were
bought out, and it became wilson
Cypress Co.'s mill. The building
was remodeled and enlarged in 1894
and a great deal of standing timber
was purchased. 1t then began TO
cut cypress exclusively, as 1t does
now. In 1893 it was rebuilt, ana
several new departments were added
All the latest machinery was lntro-
duced, making it one of the most
complete plants in the south IN
fact, 50 important was it, that the
assistance of Jupiter, Father OF the
gods became necessary to its ope-
ration. The perfect success of this
enterprise is doubtless owing to the
favor of this mighty parsonage.
