How “rap” Thoma» I’aitl Ills CompliiiioiitK to the Iitipi*!uoiiH Southerner. Henry Watterson is in Pittsburg urging a most cordial invitation to the G. A. II. to meet next year at Louisville. Commenting on his active interest the Chicago Inter Ocean tells the following ston which is well worth repeating: It was while he was an impetu ous, ardent young rebel editor and publisher of his Chattanooga Jtebel which became particul: r'v abusive of the union officers and soldiers when Rosecrans was maneuvering against Chattanooga while Bragg held possession of the city. He described them as low yillisns, who lived to insult defenseless women and murder little children rather than to fight the brave men of the south. A copy of this paper was carried over to General Thomas, who was in command of a corps in the union army. The general rode to the brow of a hill and long surveyed Chattanooga through his glass. At last he made out the lit tie brick building which was th home of Watterson’s Hebei. Then lie rode back and got the best gunner in the army and took him t the same point. He handed the gunner tlie glass and asked him if he could see the Hebei office. The gunner found it. “Can you put a cannon ball through that building without doing any other damage to the city?” asked the general. “Il you do you shall have my favorite horse.” The gunner had wh >eled out a large gun and trained it on the Hebei office. One ball only was fired, but that went crashing through the Hebei office, smashed everything in it, and sent Watterson and his compositor into the street with the impression that the bombardment of the city had be gun. The people in the city were of the same opinion, but they were needlessly alarmed. There was no more firing, and not another build ing in the city was harmed. It was simply the compliments of old Pap Thomas to Henry Watterson and his reply to the charge that the Yankees made war upon women and children and not upon brave men. Henry Watterson has learned the Yankees better since that time, and he has no better friends or warmer admirers than live in the north. He has atoned for his mistakes of early days by paying the noblest tributes to our greatest un-
ion soldiers.

Citizens Taking Stork Freely ami a Factory i* an A*ftured Faet. The Greencastle Manufacturing company will build a factory in this city for the manufacture of the Rocker folding bed as well as other kinds of furniture. The success of the enterprise is assured and it is a matter of local pride and much sat isfaction that the company will n< t have to seek another city for a location. This good news arises from the fact that Greencastle’s business men realize the importance of manufacturing industries and in the Rocker folding bed factory recognize a plant that will be of great benefit to the city and county. In their canvass of the city for stock the members of the company have been agreeably surprised at the encouragement given them. This is not given in words of good cheer alone but is done by putting names clown on paper for shares of slock. That is the kind of encouragement, as columns of good words without the necessary financial hacking would never build a factory or aid a town. The company is bound to have a manufacturing plant as their orders now received for beds are far in excess of the supply they are able to get from the parties making tlie beds in Michigan. They are thus handicapped and will be until they are able to supply the demands for their fast selling bed. In order to aseertain the sentiment of the business men of the community a Bannek Times reporter asked several of them their opinion of the factory, its benefits,
etc.
Mr. John Maloney, who with his brother Will have taken five shares of preferred stock said: I think the proposed factoiy a good thing: my chief interest in taking stock was to benefit our city; I am confi dent the investment will pay, but my first idea is to help the town, and then my reward will come in increased business; think it time to get started and wake the town up; Greencastle could be made a better town if everybody with a little capital would pull together and not in opposite directions, as has been done too much heretofore. I have faith enough in the new company to invest my money in the stock. M. I). Bridges, of the Central bank, said: I am in favor of anything to help the town and think the proposed factory would he of advantage; I like to encourage any company that would do well; the company is now doing a good business and there is no apparent reason why they should not manufacture their beds here. As I un derstand it there is no risk to a man taking stock; the preferred stock in the company is non assessable and secures an investor against loss as it is virtually a mortgage on the plant and guarantees him six per cent, on his in vestment. I think the citizens should encourage the movement. F. A. Hays, of the Model clothing company, made some good points. He said: I took five shares of the stock because I believe in it. The full amount of stock should he raised without trouble and it could be done in two hours if our citizens would pull together. One fault I notice both with city and suburban capitalists is that the property and laud owners take little or no interest in such a move. They have their money invested in buildings j and property here and then expect the business man who pays high rent and is under heavy expense to do all the building up of the city and to put his hands into his business and take out money that he , cannot always afford to spare; our | building owners do not seem to grasp this idea, but it is a fact. I
I
think the company will be successful, as their business is already very promising, and Greencastle should have advantage of the fac i lory of the company. Jesse W. Weik stated the company was a good move and thought they would eventually succeed. A pay roll every Saturday would have an effect in this town of few fac-
tories that would soon induce other factories to locate here. Mr. Drew Alspaugh, of Alspaugh ! A Co, clothiers, said: The factory will he a good thing for our county as well as for our city; if they will work one hundred men that will mean an addition of five hundred people to our town; that means an increased demand for the fanner's produce. We took the stock not as an investment so much as to aid the business of our city. We consider it safe, however, and if the company does the business they have in sight a goad profit is assured the investor. The business men will do their share, and if the others come to the front we will he all right One tiling I like is that the company is a home concern, and not a foreign institution asking a bonus. 1 am confident if the factory is a success that others will follow; the start once made and the future will
be smooth sailing.
Thomas Abrams, grocer, said: 1 think the company is bound to succeed. They are selling now. with no solicitation to amount to any tiling, more beds than thev can get made. This alone convinces me that there is a big demand for the lied; it is cheap and convenient, and its safety is a great point. Most folding beds are too high priced for ordinary people, and in this, just as iu cheap buggies, cheap pianos and other low priced articles, there is a demand, and 1 think Greencastle should fill it. 1 have invested in the stock and think it a safe venture. It will lead to additional furniture factor-
ies if it is started.
