WITH THE MILLS OF THE HATTIESBURG DISTRICT a New Mill Launched. Waynesboro, Mis., November 16.— Among the new enterprises launched here within the past few weeks Is the O'Dom Lumber Company, with $10, 000 capital. The company is composed of J. W. and M. A. O'Dom, the latter late cashier of the Bank of Waynes boro, the former late manager under, the receiver, E. F. Ballard of the West-King Lumber Company, through the depression caused by the panic, when the prices were lowest, these gentlemen, feeling that the de pression was but temporary, went about buying stumpage, and, it is said, either bought outright or obtain ed options on enough to justify their putting in a mill, and they will now do so, an order, it is learned, having already been placed for the machin ery. All 1 While the general offices of the firm will be at Waynesboro, it is thought that, for convenience to their mill, their shipping point will be either from Graham's Switch, West-King Junction or a spur that they will have to tap the Mobil'S and Ohio Railroad two or three miles north of this place. The above is another indication of the returning confidence, arid as the mill expects to employ a number of hands and the payroll all spent here, the new industry is hailed with much pleasure. ;■> Mills Are Running.
