THE ICE FACTORY.
Mr.. Herlong VIII Be Ready For The Bust
ness OF The Next Season.

1t is expected that Mr.. V. J. Herlong,
who SC ne time ago purchased lot from
Mr.. Pool near the Southern Railway on
the Southern end of Caldwell street,
will very soon be in shape to begin
work on his ice plant which he expects
to erect in Newberry.
There has been some disagreement
between Mr.. Herlong and the Southern
Railway on the matter of spur track,
the Southern wanting him to pay for
erecting it, but as Mr.. Herlong will
handle coal and wood and also lumber
in large quantities it is thought the
Southern will agree to put in the ncces-
sary trackage.
Mr.. Herlong will have total invest
ment of about $25, 600 when he gets
his plant all up. He may also arrange
to furnish power for small enterprises
In the city, something very much needed
and we should think 1t would be profita-
BILE.
If everything works satisfactorily
from now on it is expected to have the
ice plant ready for the manufacture
Of Ice for the next season.

Senoia.

June 20, '03,
Gentlemen;-
We furnished the Longman e. Mar
tinez Pure Paints for painting the
Methodist Church of this place.
They only used thirty-two gallons,
and painted three coats.
They calculated their requirements
would be forty gallons of paint to
cover two coats.
After two coats had been applied, they
found it took so much less than the
first calculation, that the committee
decided to put on third coat.
This was done with thirty-two gal
Ions.
They saved twenty -one gallons of
paint by the use of the Longman &
Martinez Pure Paints.
Longman & Martinez donate a liberal
quantity of their paint to every church
through any Of their agencies, located
IN every City, Town and Village in the
United States.
Very truly yours,
,, lSlgnedl w. r. McCrary

Gen. Stesxart's Record.


The Ohio State Journal says Of the
newly elected c0mmander-in-chief Of
the G. A. R.:
Gen. Thomas J. Stewart of Norris
town, Pa, was . short-service man,
but this was not his fault. He was in
his 18th year when he enlisted in the
13Sth Pennsylvania infantry. in 1865.
and twice before this he had run away
from home to enlist. but was brought
back by his father on both occasions.
The third time he seems to have elud.
ed parental authority, and went into
the war when all of its horrors had
been pictured in blood.
His service In the Grand Army Of
the Republic has been remarkable.
He has been assistant adjutant gener.
n to the national commander and has
held all the other onices of his post
and department. His occupation for
many years has been that of secretary
Of the Soldiers home ut Erie, Pa,
though 1T present Ae Ia of the cabinet
OF Gov. Stone OF Pennsylvania, being
adjutant general OF the National
Guard.
