Several New Business Firms Organized. Now Church and Residences Going Up. School Notes-Other Items. Norris, Sept. 9.-Your corre spondent having been dormant for someq weeks awakes to find that the towno in which he lives has taken a new "lease on life" and things brighter for the future. New ginnery, iw dwollings and a new meicantile firm, with a prob able new merchant from Six Mile, all of which can't help but inspire. Messrs. 1. 13. Bowen and J. C. Garrett have termed a part)zrship and are almost ready for the gin ning season with a new building, new gins and a new press, and the farmers who bring cotton to this ginneiy will only be detained long enough to unload their cotton, for the four gins and new improved press will soon do the work. J. C. Garrett & Son is the name of a new firm who have bought the storehouse of H. B. Bowel), and they are now receiving daily iew goods of various kinds and sun dries and will offer bargains-real bargains-to the public. This building will be used temporarili only, as the firm contemplates building a la-ge, up-to-date buid ing and a w~holesale house thrown open to the Six Mile merchanta (and the merchants in our neigh boring towns, too). Now by way of comment we would add that this part of the world ,has been. suffering for just such a business from time immemorial--a store in which a man can buy anythink. from a pair of sox to a toothpick. I. D. Rice, of Six Mile, has about closed a contract with H. B. Bowen for a nice residence to be built, on the lot adjoining the school house, and verily another nwreh-nt "who sells goods" will 1 , r . in i ui t, :n t presait elik cae'Lt tind a building that will ac eoimmodare hmR imnedate stock o goods, a-.d will likely erect him a -nIl tah e I nidilg in the n1ear ft. lr a. d rti ,, i kind of braier. h--use ,A 'x Mile.
