IS NOW IN,
OPERATION
BOX FACTORY NOW SAVING
AND VENEERING
While Not Operating on as Large
Force as When It Will Be Com
pleted, the Plant is Making Things
Hum.

The Holley- Matthews Manufactur
ing Co.'S large box factory plant, a
the end of North Poplar street, i:
| now IN active operation and adds one
more busy industry to the city
The work of building, erecting the
extensive machinery and organizing
the force, and getting everything into
smooth running order is now small
task, and when confronted with the
bad weather conditions and delays in
the shipments OF equipment, as was
the experience Of this plant, the task
is really Herculean.
The plant covers a large area of
space and consists of three large
buildings: the saw-mill, the veneering
plant and the warehouse, where the
veneer will be stored for shipment
There is no end of machinery in the
plant and it is all of the best I'M
proved type, and the entire plant
represents a vast outlay of capital.
At present the factory is only work
ing to half its capacity. All the saws
are at work and one veneer machine.
The other veneer machines will be
put in operation as soon as the OUT
put of the saws has become sufficient
ly seasoned. A large number OF
hands are already employed which
will be increased when the
plant is put into full operation.
The work of erecting and putting
into operation of this factory has been
under the personal supervision of
Mr. Holley, who, by the way, is
one of the cleverest and most pleas
ant and affable gentleman to meet
and have business dealings with.
The Holley Matthews Mig. Co.
has been in existence for the past
ten years The headquarters are at
Sikeston. Mo, and besides the plant
here, a large one is also operated at
Pascola, Mo. During its history only
two fatalities have occurred, one at
Sikeston number of years ago, and
the other occurring at his plant re-
Gently, when Mr.. J. P. Wilson, OF
Mich, engineer and ma
chinist, was struck by a bursting
valve, dying from his injuries. This
is a remarkable record and speaks
we'll for the careful management OF
those in charge
Mr.. w. II. Barnes, of Sikeston,
Mo, secretary and treasurer OF the
Hol1ey+Matthews Mfg. Co, visited
the local plant this week, and was
the guest of Mr. Bristoe, local man
ager Mr.. Barnes was generous IN
his praise of Greerville and its fu-
ture and we hope he may have oc-
casion to visit this city very ire
quietly

made a move for his gun but the
officer was too quick for him and
fired at him. the ball going clear
through his abdomen \ large, muir
derous looking. So caliber gun with a
SIX inch barrel was found on the ne
gro and he was taken TO the Gala
boose where hs gave his name as
Willie White. White said he came
ttp on the belle OF the Bends from
Gray's plantation at or near Sunny
side, Ark, and came here to work for
Mr.. Wheatley on his plantation
Asked why he carried a gun, he re-
piled that he was going to walk
through the country thought he
might need it for. protection. and
that he did not intend to draw it but
was taken off his guard for the mo-
ment.
Both negroes denied any connec-
ton with each other. and said that
they never saw each other before
The arrest of White was a timely
ri,e and no matter what his inten-
t:ons might have been, negro with
a murderous gun has no business at
large.
At the trial fhis morning sentence
was suspended on VIII Candy, while
White was sent to the colored King ;
Daughters Home His recovery is
doubtful Candy will, no doubt, be
given good farm sentence He
really deserves fife sentence.

ter. Mr.. Wilczinski favored the re-
duction on act OF the assessment of
other property in same street.
Messrs. McMahon, Scruggs and Rob-
ertshaw opposed the reduction on the
grounds that is was not done at the

with, no doubt, just claims. have in
past meetings been turned down. The
matter was passed.

the defective curbing put down by the
Southern Paving Company and also
the defective sidewalks put down by
the s. Blum Co., and it was ordered
that the Clerk of the Board notify
the companies to perfect this work
on or before May next.

The Council ordered. by resolution,
that the officials of the Y. & M. V.

road crossing on Washington avenue
and Alexander street.
Mr.. WiIczinski brought up the jail

ell thought best for the present that
the matter be deferred TO later

and vicious, judging from remarks
