 his oldest boy in almost as sudden and 

 unexpected a manner. Mr. Angus McLean

Mr. Herman J. Kreinheder, president of 

 the Standard Lumber Company of Buffalo, 

 died October :;o. Mr. Kreinheder was well 

 known in Buffalo, having served for three 

 years as chairman of the Republican ex- 

 ecutive committee and was excise commis- 

 sioner at the time of his death. While un- 

 obtrusive in his manner, Mr. Kreinheder 

 had a way of making friends and holding 

 them and his death has called forth ex- 

 pressions of sympathy and regret from all 



who knew him.

While the lumber market is quiet, there 

 seems to be a confident feeling that there 

 will be a marked improvement so far as 

 the movement of lumber is concerned 

 when election is over and done with. Just 

 how soon after depends a good deal on 

 how the election goes. 



IN EASTERN TENNESSEE. 



(Special Correspondence.) 

 Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 7, 1904. 

 The American Lead Pencil Company 

 has decided to rebuild its plant that burned 

 at Lewisburg, instead of coming to Nash- 

 ville. The company owns considerable 

 ■cedar timber, now a rare article around 

 Lewisburg, and it is more convenient for 

 them to manufacture there. The finishing 

 of the pencils is done at their eastern 



place.

The Davidson-Benedict Company is now 

 well settled down in its new offices, and is 

 quite busy in all departments. This firm

 town holdings of any firm in the city of 

 Nashville, having a chain of establish- 

 ments in the mountains of Eastern Ten- 

 nessee. Here in Nashville, furniture fac- 

 tory, box, planing mill and hardwood lum- 

 ber departments are kept busy by the 

 management.

 Manufacturers' Association, was recently 

 through this district, while making a tour

 ments to the English and continental Eu- 

 rope markets are much reduced.
