Ne7uS of Ensley

The removal of the conyicts from the mines of the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad company in and near Ensley has created much talk about the city. The business men and the merchants of the city are very much pleased over the change and are inclined to the opinion that the free labor brought in will add much to the business of the city, In ad- dition to giving a class of desirable cit izens. Rumor has it that the company will begin the erection of a number of houses at their No F mine right away. It is also said that they anticipate the erection of a number of houses at the old No. 2 slope near Pratt City.
 The people of Pratt City are delighted with the change that the company Is making in this division and the mer- chants of that place are much elated over the prospect of having free labor in the mines there.
