EXCELSIOR KNITTING MULS. Within the last week we stroled down in soutli I'liion, and by invitation of Supt. .Joseph (built ins|H:cted the knit ting mill, it is a splendid plant. It lias fifteen ot' tlir latest and must approved machines running. It lias all of the latest machinery that is necessary to run their plant. Mr. (iault made himself master of the business in every particular by through application, and insjieetion of a numher of plants, hoth North and South. 1 Ie is also a splendid liook keeper, and has a set of 'nooks made according to his own ideas, lie supervised the plant in every particular, and to say that c\clothing is arranged splendidly, and thai everything is working satisfactorily is to speak but mildly. With only a few exceptions all of the help in this mill came from Union and vicinity. They went in without any experience at all, and now some of them are making seventh live cents a day. The help is both male and female, and consists of children from I'd years of age to adult persons. The help seems perfectly happy and eontented, and seem to take unite an interest in their work. We predict a splendid future lor this mill. It has plenty of capital behind it. some of Union's best business men are its directors, and its olticers know their business and attend to it. Is there any need to say more. It is situated in one of the healthiest and prettiest sections of the town. The mill iioes not desire an\ visitors, until they gi t to running at their full capacity.
