said that the new furnace will be a twin

the SOUTH with a capacity of over 400
tons daily.

begin at once and will be completed as
soon as possible The improvement will
cost something over 100000
The local officials refused to make any
statement, neither denying or confirming
the rumor, but it is stated on good au-
thority that the enlargement will be made
and at once.
Rumors of other new plants to be To-
Gated here are growing more persistent
and there is a feeling that at least two
important concerns will be landed in "a
few more weeks.
The people are confident of the loca-
ton of the American Car and Foundry
company's plant at this place and there
are good grounds for the belief that a
frog and switch manufacturing concern
will be brought to this section
The new machinery to be installed and
the other improvements to be made in
the steel and wire mill has stimulated
q feeling of confidence that has been
very beneficial to the town in every line
OF business.
