WHITWELL, Tenn. July 90. -(Spec-
ial y The 7. c. 1. & R. R. Co. is
laging great plans for the development
of this place, and while the officials
are very reticent, the following is the
plan of progress contemplated for the
ensuing year.
In the first place 1870 coke ovens have
been staked off along the line of rail
way and just above the present ovens,
and it is proposed to have them run
ming by Jan. /.
A tram road 5000 feet long to con-
vey coal from openings north of here
is being built and heavy charges of
dynamite are being used to dislodge
the cliffs along which the road is be-
ing built. 1t is proposed to operate
this road eventually with electric
power and to this end powerful dy-
namo will be installed. The work is
being done on contract. Openings
made in very fine body of coal, will
be reached by this tramroad, which Is
set for completion by Jan. l.
Having achieved these things the
: company will next set about the build
ing of 200 more coke ovens, and to
secure water for same will establish q
reservoir on Poker Hill, pumping from
big Sequachee River, which will give
them ample supply.
In order to give room for these i'm
provements and give better access fol-
handling cars and switching, the tip
nle will be moved back to foot of in.

will be constructed by the company IN

1000 hands employed here by the hrs
of the year, and business will be in
most prosperous state. Whitwell ha

New $4,000 Building for Kurn Hat
tin Homes.

The prospectus of the New
England Kurn Hattin Homes in
Westminster issued Tuesday,
outlines plans for a
memorial building, which it is pur-
posed to erect for a school building.
The new building will cost about s10.-
| 600, and the names of persons in
whose memory contributions are
made will be engraved on tablet
placed within the building. The pres
ent school room is entirely in an attic
the floor being level with the caves,
so that ii is extremely hot in summer
and cold in winter, and it is poorly
lighted and poorly ventilated all the
time. Thirty-five boys are in the
same building with the superintend-
ent and helpers all the time, and
there is no place in which the boys
can play in stormy weather. The
present school room also takes up
room which is needed for other
purposes. The basement of the new
building will contain a manual train
ing room, small boys play room, etc
There will be three class rooms on
the first floor, and on the second
floor will be a gymnasium, which
may be used also for an auditorium.
