aibsonville's Progress. -
Patriot representative spent an
afternoon In the busy little town of
Gibsonvllle last week and was agreea
bly surprised at the progress there
during the spring and summer months,
and which manifests itself on every
hand. An air of industry and frugal
ity pervades- the place, the results of
which are apparent to the most casual
observer. f
Formost in the Industrial life of the
town are the two big cotton mills.
The Minneola mill, of which Mr. J. A.
Davidson Is the dominating spirit, Is
enjoying one of the busiest years in its
history. It turns out a superior qual
ity, of fabrics made from the South'
staple and gives employment to a large
number of operatives. The Hiawatha
mill, of which Mr. B. Davidson is the
president and general manager, is in
no less a measure enjoying a lucrative
patronage. Equipped with the best
English and American machinery, It
produces yarns that are In demand
everywhere and at all times. The
plant is operated day and night, yet
falls to keep up with orders. Quite
recently an addition of 22x45 feet was
made to the picker room of the Hia
watha, which adds somewhat to the
facilities of the plant. A new two
story dwelling house has also been
built by Mr. Davidson near the mill.
It is occupied by Mr. H. B. Owen, who
manages the store, and keeps the books
of the concern. A superior class of
labor is to be found in both mills.
Mr, W. C. Michael, another of the
progressive men of the town, has re
cently made extensive additions to his
woodworking establishment. New
buildings and machinery enable him
to turn oat sash, doors, blinds and In
fact most any kind of building mate
rial on short notice. He finds plenty
to do. '
Levi MoCauley, 'Squire Alex. Tickle,
Elijah Wagoner, Capt. A. P. Wynne,
Jacob Boon, Miss Matilda. Gerringer
and others whose names we did not
learn have erected dwelling houses in
various parts of town within the past
few months. Capt. Wynne's house is
on the east side, near the new Luth
eran church erected last year.
Rufe Summers and Marion Smith
each have new houses that deserve
soecial mention. Mr. Summers has
I just completed a large store building,
with living rooms above, on the north
side of the depot square and adjoining
the Lutheran parsonage, the home of
our good friend. Rev. E. P. Parker.
He is getting up material for a new
dwelling to occupy a lot in the rear of
the store. Mr. Smith is building a
handsome big dwelling just south of
the railroad and opposite the Lutheran
parsonage.
Mr. J, A. Davidson has added some
improvements to his residence and has
a very attractive home. Mrs. David
son and the children are at present
visiting relatives in Staunton, Va.
A scarcity of water has interfered
with work at the gold mine just south
of Gibsonvllle and wells are being dug
which may, it is hoped, enable the
plant to bd kept in operation all the
time. The promoters of this enter
prise seem to be meeting with some
degree of success. 1 -
Mr. Huff's flour mill runs full time
and gives general satisfaction to his
customers.
Seven general stores, a drug store, a
hotel, a livery barn and some minor
enterprises might be mentioned in this
connection, as such always have much
to do with the development of the bus
iness Interests of a town. Three nice
churches and a good school are to.be
found there.
The Southern Railway transacts a
large business at Gibsonvllle through
its agent, Mr. C. H. Teague, a clever
young man from Franklinvllle.- The
passenger traffic at this point is largely
increased during the sessions of Whit
sett Institute, located but two miles
distant. . : " .-s
All In all, Gibsonvllle is . one of the
most progressive towns of its size in
the South. The country round aboat
is peopled with an Intelligent farming
class largely of German ancestry. The
Patriot appreciates its large and
growing patronage In that section.
