quote as follows:
The landscape surrounding st.

GreenlaW Lumber Co.
An Up-tO-Date Saw and
Planning Mill.

The big saw. mill of the Green
law Lumber Co., manufacturers Of
long leaf yellow pine lumber, IS
situated four miles north of Gov
ington. The mill building is two
stories in height, and all material
is handled by gravity, from pond
to loading on the cars.
The mill machinery is of the
latest and most improved pattern.
Starting with the logs in the pond
at the foot of the mill, there is a
massive endless chain which has
immense grips on it that are at
tached to the logs in the water
which bank them up slopiny in
cline to the mill. from whence it
goes through the various processes
to the dry kiln. from there to the
planning mill, when it Is ready for
the market. The mill is engaged
in saving mostly pine and some
times cypress, manufacturing all
kinds of rough and dressed lumber,
also shingles, moulding, turned
columns, and all kinds of factory
work. The mill gives employ
ment to about 800 men.
they are building a permanent
standard guage railway, which is
now completed from Covlngton to
the mill and one mile further north,
and will handle both freight and
passengers. A new locomotive
and nineteen cars are en- route to
the mill.
The capacity of the saw mill is
$4,000, and the planning mill 5o,-
600 feet per day.
In connection with the mill there
Is first class general merchandise
store with a complete stock of
goods for the convenience of the
mill hands. There is also large
two-slory boarding house, and nu-
merous fine cottages, for the use of
the managers. 1t is already quite
a pretentious looking little town
1t has been named BLAIR, and
boasts tf a postofflce, with Mr..
Ramsey as postmaster.

President, has had quite num-
Der of years experience in all
branches of the lumber business,
and Mr.. James Ramsey, the Secre-

connected with the lumber bust.
ness for years They are prepared
to furnish, on short notice, any
thing in the lumber line.
The mill started to running July
Is, and they are now saving for
northern points.
Enterprises such as this are not
only perfectly welcome. but are an
acquisition that any community
may we'll feel proud of. Besides
being quite an important addition
to our business and industrial in
terests, the Greenlaw Lumber Co.
has to certain extent proved a
public benefactor, az many small
farmers have been able to s.raise
the mortgage" on their places, by
receiving cash payments for options
on their standing timber, which
left them surplus to establish a
bank account, and at the same time
retain their land for farming pur-
poses, when the timber is removed.
The enterprising managers are
to be congratulated on their SPLEEN
did plant, which is one of the
largest and most complete in the
South, and they have the best
wishes of the community for sue
cess and prosperity throughout the
years to come.
