There are no new developements to-

PRESIDENT WATKINS
TAKES CHEERFUL VIEW
Lumber Industry Is Getting on Its
Legs Again and Hattiesburs Has
Bright Prospects for Enormous Bus
mess This Fall.

One of the most important industrial
and commercial transactions in recent
years was formally consummated in
Hattiesburg this morning when the
Watkins Machine and Foundry Com
pany became the southern selling
agents for three of the largest machin-
cry manufacturing concerns in the
world
BY the terms of this contract, Hat
! tiesburg is to be the branch headquar-
\ters of the Wheelan Machine Works,
lthe Chattanooga Machine Works. and
4 the Eagle Saw Company, all of Chat
>tanooga, Tenn.
These three companies did a bust
ness aggregating something more than
s3oe, 900 in the Hattiesburg trade ter
ritory last year. With the revival of
the lumber industry and rapidly re-
turning prosperity throughout this sec
tion. there is every reason to believe
that the year 1909 will be better. still
The Watkins Machine and Foundry
Company will have exclusive control
of the output of these three large fac
tories in South Mississippi and por-
tions of Louisiaa and Alabama and will
carry in stock in Hattiesburg a com
plete and varied stock of mill machin-
cry and supplies approximating in
value from $4,000 to $4,000. Three
expert travelling statesmen will be
placed on the road under the direction
of Mr.. Robert Wellborn. for many
years travelling salesman for the Whee-
Ian Machine Works, in this territory
and who is personally known to almost
every saw mill man in the yellow pine
lumber belt.
Work will. begin in a few days on a
large galvanized iron building adjacent
to.the present large plant of the Wat
kips/ Machine and Foundry Company
for the accommodation of the enorm
ous stock of machinery soon to be in
stalled, and work on this structure
will be rushed.
Mr.. T. o. Watkins. president and
active manager of the company, talked
without restraint when approached b,
a representative of this newspaper. HI
says that his company now has more
work than ever before in its history
and this is not counting the enormous
contract recently made with the New
Orleans and Northeastern Railroad fo
the repair of 900 freight cars on whicl
large force of men are now employ
ed
"rhe mills are getting ready to re
sume." said Mr.. Watkins 1--WE ar
repairing their machinery for them"
This statement was made in tn
presence of Secretary Larson of tn
Commercial Club and other gentlemen
and it bears out what the News ha
said from day to day-that the lumbe
industry is really GETTING ON 1T
LEGS AGAIN.

McInnis Building Sold For $4,000
Half Interest in the Kennedy
Building $4,000.
MANY OTHER DEALS
RECORDED SATURDAY ]
Mr.. A. H. McInnis Purchases Hall
Interest in Kennedy & Batson Build
Ing and Mr.. Batson, of HiIIsdaIe Is
the Purchaser of McInnis Building.

There have been some large deals
in real estate in Hattiesburg the last
few days.
Two big deals were closed Saturday
and while the purchasers got big bar
gains in them, the price paid shows
that Hattiesburg property has not de-
creased greatly in value and is practic-
ally holding its own.
A deal has been closed by Mr.. G. d.
Mclnnis for the sale of the McInnis
building, corner Pine and Mobile
streets for the sum of $4,000, the pur-
chaser being p R. Batson, wealthy
gentleman, llsdale, Miss.
1t will be good news to the people
that Mr.. Batson also intends to make
Hattiesburg his home.
Another big deal, filed for record
Saturday was the sale of one half in
terest in the Kennedy and Batson
building on Main street to Mr.. A. H..
McSwain for $4,000.
Besides these two big transactions,
number of smaller deals were filed
for record Saturday, large number of
lots in Hattiesburg Heights being sold,
as well as other property, the whole
amounting to something like $4,000.
This shows that real estate business
is rapidly growing better, and while
there was some decline in values a
short time ago, property is now on a
firm Nand reasonable basis.
Nothing shows that there is some
thing doing better than an increase
in real estate business.
