airy trial before Justice Mathews

FORTY HOUSES
To BE BUILT.
Capitalists Will Build Homes
for Workingnen Who Are
Coming To CO.
Iusnbus.

Messrs. Stevenson, Stinson &
Cox. who own rlany of the lots
comprising Brooks Place, and 8
large number of persons who
have recently purchased lots
there. have entered in to an ar
rangement with the officials OF
the Standard Stove Co. under
which they agree to erect forty
houses for the use of the en-
ployes of that company. Work
on some Of these houses has al
ready commenced, and it is hop
ed to get the building of all of
them under way during the COM
ing week, as it is the present in
tention of the company to begin
operations here on September
10Th, and they want the houses
ready for their employees to move
into them on that date.
Mr.. W. T. Folsom, one of the
principal stockholders in the
company, spent several days of
the past week in the city, aud
while here stated that he thought
the Brooks property admirably
adopted for residential as we'll as
business purposes, and it was at
his request that the owners of
the property agreed to under
take the erection Of the houses
desired for the employees of the
Mr.. Folsom was ac-
companied by several of the
men who have been with the
company for a number of years
and who are to move to Colum-
bus as soon as the plant is COM
pleted. These gentlemen all ex-
pressed themselves as being de-
lighted with Columbus, and are
looking forward with most pleas
ant anticipations to the time
when they will take up their per-
mant residence in our beautiful
and progressive city.

CONDITIONS
ENCOURAGING
Crop Outlook in Territory
Contigous to Columbus
is Exceedingly
Bright.

| During the past We k t h {
Comm ercial has interrogated 8
number of farmers living in diff
ferent sections of the county as
to the crop outlook, and all agree
that it is extremely encouraging.
While it is true that a great deal
of rain has fallen during the past
few weeks the showers have all
been of a local nature, and as far
as can be learned not a singla
farmer has as yet sustained any
serious damage, though some
declare that in the event the wet
weather continues that cotton is
likely to suffer from rust. Even
with continued rains, however,
there is little to fear, as both cot
ton and corn are to near matu-
rity to be very e xt e n iv el V
damaged.
The travelling men, who watch
the crop conditions very closely
and who are almost as we'll posted
in this regard as are the farmers
themselves, unite in declaring
hat crops are looking unusually
fine and that in North Mississippi
especially both cotton and corn
look as we'll as they have ever
seen them at this season of the
year. Almost without an excep-
tion they aver that they have had
a splendid trade in every portion
of the State, the meachants hav-
ing bought literally in the anti
cipation OF good crops and good
times generally.
AS far as Columbus is concern
ed there has really been no dull
season this year, for the large
number of buildings that are now
in course Of construction have
kept hundreds of men at work,
and as most of the men engaged
in this work are mechanics, brick
masons and other skilled labor
ers who receive g ood wag
money has been plentiful, and
our merchants have had the most
prosperous summer that h Y
have ever enjoyed. As fall comes
on this business will naturally
and the coming winter
promises to be a record breaker
for Columbus. Many merchants
from other places are desireous
Of locating here and store houses
are at premium. Taken all in
all, the business outlook is eX-
tremely bright, and every citizen
Of Columbus should feel proud of
the progress which the city is
making.

Worlds Fair Visitors.

The pavilion erected by the Frisco

no little interest, in fact, it is one OF the
many attractions.
Visitors TO the Worlds Fair are cor

Island System building. Here viii be
found place of rest, courteous attention
besides, there will be distributed, free

The Tombigbee Cotton Mills
closed down yesterday afternoon,
and will not resume operations
until about the 10Th of Septem-
Der, as it will require a b u
month to install the new machin-
cry which the directors some
time since decided to purchase
and which has arrived and Is
ready to be placed in position.
The operatives of the mill, or at
least the male contingent Of the
force, will not, however, be forced
to remain idle while the mills
are closed down, as those who
desire it will be employed to as
sist in the work Of installing the
new machinery. 1t is probable
though that only a few of them
will avail themselves of this offer,
they need rest and recreation and
will sieze this opportunity to visit
friends and relatives in distant
places. They are all in most
prosperous condition and can ca
silly afford to take a we'll earned
vacation.
Most of the new machinery to
be installed is to go in the card
room, as the lomes and o t h r
machines are in good condition.
During the time that operations
are suspended, however, { h e
whole mill will be thoroughly
overhauled and many minor re-
pairs made. The company has
recently erected a modern office
building just north of the main
building, and the space hereto
fore occupied by the executive
force will afford room for num-
Der of additional looms, which
will be put in along with the other
machinery.
Mr.. Ben Love, who for a num-
Der of years past has been Sec
retary of the company, has re-
signed his position to accept the
active management of the new
cordage mill which is now being
erected in East Columbus, and
Mr.. Earl Burris has succeeded
him. Mr.. Burris is an experience
ed office man and will m a k a
most efficient secretary.
