artistic appearance, having large bay
window in the second story, from which
view of the street can be had either
way. This building is 28x42.
| 1t is frequently the case that while
organizations in cities go away from
home seeking some one to start an
enterprise, a citizen of the community
will start to work and build the plant
and make no noise about it. That is
just what A. Roesler has done in
building his shirt factory. He has con
structed building 30x60 feet, two
story frame with cement basement.
The basement and ground floors are
used as steam laundry. In the base
ment are two washing machines and
an extractor. The latter is like a
small tub, the sides of which are per-
forated with small holes. This re-
wolves very rapidly, and the suction of
| the air through these perforations
takes the water out of the clothes.
There are two large washing ma
chimes. These revolve slowly, which
is known to be necessary by those
having used washing machines. The
boiler and engine is also on this floor,
which furnishes power and heat to
the plant.
On the second floor is the office
and most of the machinery necessary
for conducting the business. There
| is a collar and cuff starcher which
looks like half barrel. In this the
collars and cuffs are placed and the
cylinder revolves about 20 minutes,
when they are taken out and put in
to a little machine where they are
ironed. Another machine is used for
shirt bands and collars.
The larest machine on this floor is
the mangle. This has one large cylin-
der and three small ones. By this
machine general ironing is done, or
what is called flat work. There is
also a machine called the bosom iron
er, which as it's name indicates, is
used on shirts There is also a body
ironer and collar turner, the latter
rolling the collar in the same shape
as they are bought at the stores.
There are also five drying rooms on
this floor for cotton goods and one
for woolens.
In conversing with Mr.. Roesler, he
stated that the machinery for the
shirt factory was on the way and as
soon as received it would be set up.
The second floor will be used for the
factory
This Is an enterprise that will give
number Of people work in the city
and should be literally patronized.
One of the neatest residences built
this year is that of 0. E. Rice on
Worden Ave. east, just completed. 1t
is one and one-half story frame cot
tage 53x29 feet, with three towers and
stained roof, giving it prominence
even on this avenue of nice houses.
The outside is neatly finished, with
porch the full length of the front. The
inside is finished in yellow pine, oiled,
hardwood floors, with bathroom and all
modern improvements, including heat
ing plant in the basement. While there
are more costly residences in the city,
there are none that show to better ad-
vantage.
E. G. Haviland has just completed an
artistic residence north of the court
house on Lake avenue east. This is
one of the pretty homes for which
Ladysmith is becoming famous. 1t is
of the bungalo style of architecture
and overlooks the river.

While it is natural that in small and
young city like this there should be
some small homes of little value in a
financial point, there are few cities can
show better class of homes and pre-
sent better appearance. These small
homes, though, are an important fac
tor in the community. They house the
men with their families who are help
ing by their labor to improve the city.
They are just as important as the cap
italists and in many instances their
owners are equals in education and in
telligence.
In this resume of the building opera
ations, there are possibly some buildings
not noted and there have been thou
sands of dollars expended in repainting
and finishing homes inside, which would
not be noted by the casual observer.
Again, the city has spent a large
amount in laying water mains and sew
ers. This work has given many men
employment, but does not make show
ing, as the result is under the surface.
In conversation with a contractor of
this city, he stated that while there
was no crying demand for workmen and
he would not encourage their coming
here unless they had position. No
mechanic has been idle the past season,
unless from choice.
While it is too early to make any
statements as to work to be done the
coming season, builders are optimistic
and say it looks as though there will
be more building done than during
the past year.
There promishes to be considerable
activity in the real estate business
the coming season. D. H. Richards
has worked up large list of land for
sale, and is doing some practical ad-
vertising. o. c. Sabin, who has been
"dabbling" in real estate for several
years intends to devote his whole time
to it. ]. A. 'Michaelson has a large
list of land for sale. Gerhard Moe
has secured the agency for the Me-
nasha Wooden Ware Co. and the
John S. Owen lands in the county,
and intends to begin an aggressive
campaign next season. With these
four pushers added to those already
in the business, we may expect to see
a large number of new settlers here
this year.

Ensley, August 2S.-(Special.) )-One of the most pleasing sights to the ctti- zens of Ensley is the large volumes of steam and smoke curling skyward from the mile and half of industries that comprise the steel mill and furnaces of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail road company. None the less pleasing is the noise of whirring and booming machinery, the screech of steam whistles and other kindred noises that loudly proclaim the activity of the various plants. From every part of the man. moth works the noise of busy industry is heard and the crowds of workmen that traverse the streets to and fro to tn cir work would indicate that indus trial conditions have become normal. In Keeping with the policy of the United States Steel corporation but little in formation is given out regarding the future or present plans of the company. But from observation the company seems to have great improvements planned for the future. As regards the operation of the plants the output of the furnaces and steel mill have as stunned normal conditions. It is stated that many orders have been placed for steel rails that will keep the plant busy for many months.

New Cemetery Company.

The Oakland Cemetery company has been reorganzed and an entirely new policy has been adopted. The cemetery is to be developed into a beautiful park cemetery of the most modern type, and plans formulated for the perpetual care of the graves. There have been many complaints in the past by the citizens of Ensley in regard to the unsightly appear ance of the cemetery owing to neglected graves of those whose relatives had moved away or had died. The city coun- cil has been petitioned to take care of the place. Those whose loved ones are laid away at Oakland will be gratified at the proposed new conditions. J. B. Simms, who has had 12 years experience in this class of work has been placed in charge. In speaking of the new conditions he stated that the location was ideal, its natural advantages were such that 1t could readily be developed into the most beautiful cemetery in this part of the country. He stated the plan for the per petual care of the graves was simple. The company will set aside almost one-half of the property for the care of the rest of the ground.

"EuIlerIicker" Law,

That the new prohibition laws are being strictly enforced is evidenced by the often-heard remark during the re- cent hot weath CT, "Td give dollar for a cold one" One man said with an earnestness that showed he meant what he said, I've got a thirst I wouldn't sell for two dollars if I could run across a cask of "Moerlein."
 To make matters worse even the wise ones who have been getting their s from Milwaukee are afraid to have the goods hauled from the depot to their homes as under Chief Jordan's inter- rretation of the "Fullerliquor" bill such an act would be an offence, punishable by fine imprisonment and confiscation. Such persons may take little satfsfac- ton from an opinion given Chief Bode- ker of Birmingham by Assistant City Attorney J. Q. Smith, in which he states that though the city of Birmingham Is operating under the Fuller bill, tbe hill does not prohibit interstate com merce, and that the legislature would have no power to make such a provfs- ion in the bill. He advises Chief Bode- ker that where shipments are made without the state, the railroad or eX- press company can make deliveries to the consignees and that such transac- tion would not be prohibited by the laws now in effect.

Tragedy of Old Age.

 Why don't the girls take care of you?" exclaimed the young man angriy. The idea of deserting his old mother who had labored for them-leaving her to endless days of arm ache and tired feet, to hopeless stuggle! The unselfishness of her life came to his enlivened imagina- tion Suddenly he realized for the first time in all his life the simple story of the poor and miserable. Why" he said afterward, 'she has any old soldier that ever lived lashed to the mast-for real sand!o And now, as he thought of the injustice of her position, he got little red in the lobes of the ears.
 "Why don't the girls take care of you, he repeated.
 .Shure, there's wan in the West an I've not heard from her these many years, an wan of 'em Is married 10 man who is down wid the drink an has three children of her own an no money an then the other-'' She made flap ping motion of the hand which might have meant almost any reason why the third girl was disqualified as a support for her in old age. And so-' she ex- plained It was not necessary to say more.
 The young man had taken course in sociology in college. and had heard a very competent professor discuss charity and social order in the abstract. He tried to recall some fundamental principle which would apply to this case It was plain enough that the old woman could not be left to starve when her days of desperate labor were done. The poorhouse seemed brutally neglectful of everything but the body. To saddle any one stranger with the burden of taking care of her was not logical or fair. And yet. con- found 1t all," he thought, "here Is an old soldier--"
 old soldier! They pensoned old soldiers!

day School Scholar.

A young Philadelphia Sunday school
teacher tells this story of the result
of an attempted application of the
principles of economies:
For some time she had endeavored
to impress upon the minds of one of
her charges the names of the three
qualities, faith. hope. ard charity. One
Sunday she presented the pupil CT the
poor memory with three new shining
coins. a penny, a five-cent piece. and
a dime.
THE penny" she said, represents
faith. the five-cent piece hope, and the
dime charity. Keep these coins and
every time you look at them think Of
what they stand for"
The Sunday following the teacher
reviewed the lesson of the week be-
fore. and called upon the holder of the
coins to produce them and give their
names In proper sequence. The
yOuHgster shuffled from one leg to the
other. stammered. blushed and seemed
altogether overcome with mortifca-
ton. Finally he burst out with:
Please. Miss Fanny, amt got
nuthin' left but faith. Baby swal-
