Coal Field Notes Reported From SturglS
TO Manufacturers Record.

The big West Kentucky Coal Compa-
ny, which recently absorbed all the
collieries Of moment in this btuminous
territory, is not only preparing to build
a giant steel storage plant on a large
tract west of town, in order that all Of
its mines may be operated without shut
ting down on account Of low water,
which is to be the principal mode Of
transportation, but simultaneously is
preparing TO lock and dam Tradewater
river, a serpentine stream that drains
its vast coal field and empties into the
Ohio five miles west Of Sturgis. The
company is to set down over l,5OO, 600
tons Of coal year at st. Louis, and il
is laying its plans accordingly on a big
scale.
Another large company has organ
lied, and is in the nature Of a merger,
to opetare near Henshaw, seven miles
north Of Sturgis, but includes the prop
erty Of the Bell Coal Company here and
a large towboat company. The Hen
shaw plant will be within FIVE miles Of
other railroads at Shawneetown, ILL.,,
and the building Of a short line from
Henshaw TO that place will give not
only a river outlet, but much lower
transportation rate by rail TO St. Louis.
In fact, this short line is a big coup on
the part Of the new company, and is a
stroke that was apparently overlooked
by the west Kentucky Company, which
must needs build its own lines and still
find no other through system except
the Illinois Central. whilst the Hen
shaw company will have three railroads
and the Ohio.

SOUTHERN RAILWAY
IMPROVEMENTS.
Company Bought Site for Yards and
Repair Shops.

The Southern Railway some time since
bought sixteen acres Of land from the
Chambers estate, south of the railway
track, adjoining the western boundary
line Of the corporation of Greenwood.
Recently the company bought a Few
more acres adjoining its first purchase.
While we have no official information
concerning the matter, IN has 1t
that the Southern will establish a relay
station here and use this land for repair
shops and yards at some date in the near
future.
1t is also very probable that the
Southern will soon erect a handsome
passenger depot near the present depot
building on Howard street.

owned at the time Of his death about
10000 acres Of the best lands in

yentlon and has been one Of the
trustees Of the A & NJ. College for
years, He took an active interest in
everything that pertained to the best

A recent canvass Of the towns OF
Mississippi and Louisiana made by
a local business man demonstrates 2
remarkable sentiment in favor of
National control Of guarantees Of
~lnfectable points Of entry. Out of
1888 replies received but Is express
ed themselves as opposed TO National
Quarantine, and a few were doubt
fur, but the overwhelming majority
declared for National Quarantine
unanimously" as some of them put
it. These letters also gave an idea
of the progress being made by the
mosquito doctrine. The firm belief
in this dogma was expressed by 235
communities who had proceeded to
eXtorminate the pest, Is did not be-
lieye in it, and the rest had done
nothing to the mosquito whatever or
claimed they had none to extermi-
nate, Louisiana showed up particu-
larly well in the matter of freight
guarantees, the average being 20
without guarantees to 5 who still
apply them. Mississippi's average
was nearly one half either way, the
inclination being toward the "No
quarantine" column.
