Gregg Pope, at Union cemetery. The

Will johnson was here Wednesday
and left with us a sample of the brick
which is now being turned out by the
Verona Brick and Tile Company, and
which is one of the best clay brick We
haye ever seen. In point of weight,
solidity and smothness it compares
favorably with the famous St.
Louis hydraulic pressed brick and
can be bought for much less money.
The quality of the clay at Verona is SUI
perior to any in the state and is in I'M
limited quantity. This clay should be
turned into brick.and tile in much larger
quantities than ever before as there
would be a splendid market for all that
can be manufactured. The plant at
Verona should be enlarged and doubt
less will be in the near future. They
have a fine opportunity of building up
an extensive business.
