saying goes, Mr.. }. "A. Brock and Mr..
X. T.. Llgon both Of whom this mill
was named tor, using the first three
letters OF Mr.. Brooks name and the
last three OF Mr.. LigOns' making. Bro
Eon-;}rOSonD nave been busy planning
tor and building this stupGndous en-
terprise and 1t Is strange that 80 few of
us knew any such thing existed this
side ot Massachusetts. But 1t is so,
and the Brogon Mill ut Anderson is II
living witness to the assel ton.
1t Is no wonder then that Anderson
has grown and piospered when wo
take INTO consideration the names OF a
few OF the leading men of the city,
some OF whom have passed away, but
those W no are left are still pulling at
the sam" end OF the cable of progress,
consequently they succeed. We have
not room TO mention all OF the leading
progressive men, but among them are
Reeds, Hills. landivers, Norris's,
l.angstons. Clinkscales, McCully's,
Fret well, l'lecklcy, Mnuldin, Sullivan.
Townsend, Osborne, Cox, McBrayer,
Webb, Jones and Just IL host of others
enough to cover whole side of q
newspaper to say nothing of the Ander
son Bar, the medical profession and
-E1 n nav - I,.. h,,
Ladies' Civic Society, all OF whichhave
contributed to the progress and up
building and bcautiiyiug of the city III
no small degree.
No town can ever become a live, pro-
, grcsslve city without good, wlde-awake
newspapers, and that Anderson has
! had, and they have done Il very inlpor-
tant part urging Oh your advance
guard to victory. And, too, no city
Will ever be beautiful without the fin
ishing touch has been put on by the
hands of Intelligent, beauty-lOving
| women, and to know you have these in
abundance we only have to look at the
many beautiful flower gardens AMI the
beautiful Plaza in the Court House
Square, surrounding the Confederate
monument, all of which has been done
by the hand OF your progressive women.
Now, in conclusion, must say some
thing about your street railway, which
IL another one Of the big enterprises
Of Anderson. for, since it has been put
in operation do not now see how you
could get along without it. 1t brings
your factories that used to be away out
from town right into the heart and
easy touch of the business portion of
your city, SO that the people of the
mill villages can step into car right
at their door and in few minutes
step out and into store, do their shop
ping and get back while dinner is
cooking at home.
AS before said, with this convenience
and through tho courtesy of President
Brock, the Grand jury of Anderson
County enjoyed a trip over the city
street railway to and from the Brogon
mill during the. hailrs of the Courts
recess tor dinner. and for which we
return our many thanks to Mr.. Brock
anu to Others ,atlle mill tor the kind
ness shown.
Nuw. Mr.. Editor, must stop, for to
undertake. TO write up Anderson would
be like her progress, l would never get
to the end Or to stopping place.
