The Stove Works.


merits when the possibility of
suc6 e-S seemed 50 remote that
it was useless 10 hore longer,
the stove works have been secur-
ed for C0lumb bus. There are many
things c)nr ected with to the
landing Of this enormous plant
that are worthy of note and con
sideration. In the first place it
demonstrates clearly what com
blned and organized effort VII
do The methods that have been
used Iave been the outcome of
careful thought on the part of
those Who lave the placing of
such an enterprise most to heart
and their efforts have met with
the cooperation Of the people.
Some have discouraged the
movement and in t cir puny way
done many things to hinder
and retard the success Of the en-
terprise but in the light Of final
success they appear as raught.
Another congratulatory feature
is The fact that out Of thirty two
cities who were offeriug the
managers If the Com pany sites
for the factory, Columbus was
chosen d the more promising.
Not in a spirit Of bOastfulness do
we say this, but d feeling of
pride Is but natural, under the
circumstances, that inspires
greater confidence in the future
welfare Of Columbus.
The final preparations were
completed Wednesday morning
when a meeting Of the stock
/ holders of the factory was held
in the Office of the secretary of
the Progressive Union and
I Messers. Walter Weaver, 3. A.
Weaver, J. T. Wood, E. G. Chap
man and w. S. Newly were Sc
/ lected as a board of trustees to
confer with Mr.. Saunders as to
/ the buildings, location and man
ner Of transferring stock OF
this committee Mr.. E. G. Chap
man was elected chairman. A
com pIete understanding has
been arrived at and plans for the
buildings will be secured al
once Mr.. Saunders as soon as
the deal was closed Immediately
communicated with Architect
r. A. Hunt asking him for plans
and specifications for the build
ings needed. They will consist
of one brick building one story
in height SOx30O feet, l two story
brick building 6Ox15O feet one
story brick building S0X150 feet
and building Of sheet iron, 40X
/ 100 feet to be known as The
STANDARD Stove Works Of Colum
bus, Mississippi Mr. Saunders
also held conference with
Superintendent Webb of the
Southern Railroad who went
over the site of the factory with
a view of supplying side tracks
and all additional railroad facili-
ties needed. Mr.. Saunders states
that he hopes to have the build
ings completed, machinery
placed and everything in readi-
ness to begin the manufacture
of stoves by September 18th.
Another enterprise secured
for Columbus through the Stove
Factory is a large basket factory
owned by MIR. D. r. Sanders
with a capacity of 1900 baskets
per day. One hundred people
have heretofore been employed
in this work and Mr.. Saunders
states that it is his intention to
move his whole plant to this
city. The buildings will be 10
Gated South of the Stove Factory.

/ themselves will make a great
addition to Columbus, but the

that they are not yet satisfied to

In letter dated January /, 1900, Mr..
Atkinson says, after five years. expert
ence with Peruna:
81 will ever continue to speak good
word for Peruna. In my rounds as a
travelling man am walking adver-
tlsement for Peruna and have induced
many people during the past year to
use. Peruna with the most satisfactory
results. ! am still cnred Of catarrh."
John o. Atkinson,
i. Box 272, Independence, Mo.
When old age comes on, catarrhal
diseases come also. Systemic catarrh
is almost universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
so Indispensable to old people. Peru
ma is their safeguard. Peruna is the
only remedy yet devised that meets
these cases exactly.
Such cases cannot be treated locally;
nothing but an effective systemic REM
edy could cure them. This is exactly
what Peruna is.

satisfactory results from the use Of Pc
