The large crowd who took advantage
of the low rate excursion on the new
Ilock island to St. Louis Thursday of
last week returned Sunday evening.
They report having had a line trip and
on Friday had a splendid day In the

them.
Dr. C. 0. Woods, associate editor of
the St. Louis Christian Advocate, was a
guest of relatives in this city from Sat-
iiriiay until Monday. The Doctor oc
cupied the pulpit at the M. K. Church
South Sunday morning and at the
Christian Church in the evening. Hoth
of his discourses were Interesting, ulo
ipient and elevating and highly appre
elated by all who heard them.
Messrs. K. W. Kvans and G. G.Huow
den. of Oil City, I'a , two promoters in
mineral and coal lands, were in Ver
sallies several ilayn tliirlnir the past
week, and secured options upon a mini
her of tracts of coal property. Their
object Is to interest eastern capital
In Morgan County resources with tin
intention ot developing tlie same.
Tllcy were very favorably Impressed
with what they discovered here.
The hotel and boarding house fiicll
Itles have been entirely too limited to
accommodate the crowds In this city
HiIh week. The pressuru for hotel ac
commodations has been gradually in
creasing for weeks, owing to the influx
of industrial people, but the climax was
reached this week when circuit court
convened, and It has been necessary
for the hotel people to go out among
our cltUens and procure every vacant
room possible, then the demand has not
been fully met. The railroad people
coming In h.ia Increased the demand,
and there l no likelihood of a cessation
iu this line, as tranaient tradu has
hardly opened up in Versatile!.

II, It. Harmon, the superintendent of
the new clay plant, arrived here last
week from Kansas City and proceeded
to break ground for the election of
buildings nevessnry for tlie manufac
ture of brick for use iu their big Clay
euterpilse. Mr. Harmon showed us
the drawings and blue prints of tin
different buildings, which coyer a vast
area of ground, and will show up'.llke a
veritable city when In full blast.
Mr. Harmon is here to stay, and re
marked that the people here would be
surprised at thu tiausformatlon that
would take place on their grounds dur
ing the next two months. The inten
tion of the Company is to manufacturo
the finest brick at reasonable market
prices to compete with the world.. The
material here Is considered good for
hard paving and building brick, vill i-

everyth'ng that pertains to substantial
brick manufacturing. The modern
machinery which Is to be Installed pro-1
vines lor placing me ruvv material in
and when the different processes arc
gone through wllli automatically It
comes out a finished product.
There Is nothing that can possibly
hamper the company from making a
success of tlie enterprise here, unless
the trallli! carrying corporations wcru
arbitrary, yet this Is not likely in this
Instance, the railroads having proffered
Manager Harmon and his company
Kvery encouragement In locating hero.
As the promoters have sulbuient capi
tal to Insure sueoessngaiiist almost any
obstacle, thuy are going ahead inde
pendently. They will be ready for
business In tlie early spring Season and
brick will bo turned out at the rate
of from 8.1,000 to l'J.I.OOO per day.
The enterprise will liu kept tn constant
operation, bo that our people can judge
what this moauB for Versailles and
Morgan County. Let us all give tlie
company encouragement necessary to
add to their aucaesn hefti.
