The hands are blasting rock in the waste way. ti i sivQO iiie eugiut: nuuse is iu uc uiawu and the annex 78x104. The building is to be extended from the present building to the road, and the engine room from the main building to the old run of the creek. These buildings are to be built entirely of granite obtained from the hills near byThis enlargement is necessitated by increasing the capacity of the mill by the addition of 100 looms. The new engine of 2,500 horse power has arrived and as soon as the building is completed it will be placed in position. The goods manufactured by this company are of such a superior quality as to earn for them a national reputation and as a consequence orders from all parts of th*: country are daiby received to such an extent that, even by running the mill night and day, the}' could not be filled; hence the stockholders decided to enlarge the mill. Aside from the splendid business management of its President, W. P. Itoof, much of the success of this mill is to be attiibuted to Mr. L. W. Pedd, the efficient assistant superintendent, whose watchful care permits no inferior goods to leave the mill. * r T-I -n T\ ? 1 1-.fi. t-.. Tl'-.-.'L 1U1*. JP.
