BURTON COMPANY
is INCORPORATED
viii Engage In Tanning and
Manufacturing
TO BUILD NEW FACTORY
Money On Deposit In Walker County
Banks Has Increased About
100 Per Cent In
Year.
TO BUILD NEW FACTORY

Jasper February Especial Papers
of Incorporation for the Burton Manufac-
turing company, with a paid up capital
stock of $4,000, were filed with Probate
Judge James w. Sheperd here yesterday.
The company has been organized several
weeks but final arrangements for filing
articles of incorporation were completed
only yesterday.
Among those interested in the concern
are Z. c. Burton & Son of Buford, Ca
and A. S. Preston OF Jasper. The new
corporation has acquired the properties
of the old Jasper Tanning company and
will put the plant into operation, after
many improvements and additions are
made A harness and collar factory will
be added and the leather from the tan
merry will be finished into harness and
collars.
The work of erecting the new fectory
is now under way, and will be ready for
business within a few months. The
Messrs. Burton will move their families
to Jasper to reside The factory will en-
ploy fifteen to twenty workmen. H. p.
Waits has associated himself with the
company and will be in charge of a por-
ton of the plant
Banking Business.
Figures taken from reports of the con-
dition of the various banking institutions
In Walker may be taken as an index to
the financial growth of the county. Ac-
cordng to compilation made by a local
banker there is in the neighborhood of
100000 on deposit in the five banks in the
county. Three years ago there was a lit
tie over 100000 on deposit in banks in
the county.
This shows that the deposits have in
creased at the rate of about 500 per cent
year.
Citizens Are Pleased.
The formation of the new Fourteenth
judicial curcuit, composed of Walker and
Winston counties, seems to meet with
universal approval by the citizens of the
two counties.
According to the arrangements outlined
Walker county will have nine months
circuit court, and this is especially graf
flying to all parties having litigation, as
it is contended there will be ample court
facilities for relieving the congested con-
dition of the dockets
Judge James j. Ray will be judge of
the new circuit, and William c. Davis
will be solicitor. These two gentlemen
are among the ablest lawyers in Ala
bama and their selection is giving general
satisfaction.
The work of building Walker county's
new court house will in all probability
begin promptly on the 18th of March.
and the building is to be completed by
the 10Th of November. The work IS to be
done by the B. C. Bynum Construction
company at cost of about So, 600

Furgason of the steamer American, was
In Decatur today and said to your repre-
sentative: "The railroad crosstie indus
try on the Tennessee river all the way

now and the people along the river do
not even dream of its Importance.
Our steamer, the American" said Mr.
Furgason, for several months past has
been engaged in hauling crossties from
lock 9. near Florence, to Rockport, ILL.,
We make on an average of two round
trips month and haul from 1000 to
2O,ooo ties each trip. These ties come from
as far up the river as Chattanooga and
the ties above Florence are taken to lock
on the smaller steamers and are then
transferred to larger steamers and taken
TO Rockport, Ill.
I'm all there are thirteen steamboats,
engaged in hauling ties on the Tennessee
river between Chattanooga and Paducah.
The most of these boats take about %, 600
ties on each trip.
why, sir, you have no idea the num-
Der of ties that are being shipped on
the river now. Yesterday 1 was in Flor
ence and while there saw twenty-seven
wagon loads of ties coming into town"
Mr.. Furgason said that all of these
ties were for the Illinois Central rail-
road. The company is paying well for
them and the small army of men that
are engaged up and down the river in
cutting them are making good money.
Work Temporarily Stopped.
On account of the bad weather work
has closed down on the construction of
the new canal and lock, which are being
built at Colbert shoals in the Tennessee
river below here.
1t is understood that just as soon as
the weather will permit that this work
will be resumed and will be pushed to
completion. This is one of the greatest
pieces of work the government has un-
dertaken on the Tennessee river and will
require vast sum of money and months
of time to complete. But when completed
the largest steamers will be able to pass
through the shoals.
Mammoth steam plows and steam SHOW
