Bebe Boswell, who has lived TIE
past three years in Nashville, was
here in the last weekend and we
learned would move his residence this
week to Marion, Kentucky, to be
more convenient to the home office
of the Holly Ore & Mining Company,
of which he is president. This COM
pany owns about 1876 acres of land at
Marion which is rich in Flourspar,
said to be the real source of Flourine,
which is used as a flux in various in
dustries-most particularly, per-
haps in the making of steel. A con-
siderable amount of the stock in this
company is held in Lexington-and
the holders believe the enterprise has
a great future, as it supplies a great
need in the industrial world. In ad-
dition, there is made from flourspar
an artificial marble, which is decid-
eddy more beautiful than any marble,
we have ever seen produced by nature
and It's said the artificial will with
stand the elements of time and ma
ture better than will the product of
nature.
