considered as being half done.
The Manufacturing Company has a
new brick mill in operation, which is
turning out brick of excellent quality.
A kiln of one hundred thousand is be-
ing burned this we elk. More workmen
are being constantly employed, as the
need for them increases. Mr.. Barks-
dale, young man from Laurens, is
one Of the recent acessions to our popu-
lation.
Mr.. VIM. Erwin is furnishing the
Company with large bill of lumber,
cut and sawed on his neighboring plan
tation.
The talk about the railroad to this
place will soon give place to real work.
The authorities inform us that all
things are now ready for the con-
struction of short line from Barmore
to this place.
