The Ozan-Graysonia Lumber Company, of Prescott, Nevada county, and 

 Grayson, Clark county, has filed articles of incorporation under the laws 

 of Arkansas. The capital stock is $1,250,000, of which $1,000,000 has 

 been subscribed. This company has been formed for the purpose of 

 buying and selling timber properties, erecting and maintaining sawmills, 

 lumber plants, ice factories and other facilities. The gentlemen who 

 are identified with this are, W. N. Bemis, as trustee, J. E. Bemis, Duncan 

 McRae, W. E. Grayson, N. W. McITeod, William Grayson. Ingram Grayson 

 and H. S. Priest.

 N. M. Crawford, resigned. 



It is announced that the Illinois Central will shortly after the begin- 

 ning of the new year, start work on a car building plant here, which 

 will Involve a very great outlay and which will probably result in the 

 concentration of the major portion of its car building and car repairing 

 facilities on its southern lines at Memphis, including some of those now 

 at Water Valley, Miss., on the south, and Paducah, Ky., on the north. 

 Only a few days ago the Illinois Central began the construction of Its 

 car repair sheds here involving an outlay of $200,000 and, if the car 



All Three of Us Will Be Benefited if 



building plant is erected here, it will very greatly increase the amount 

 of money being spent at this point. The Illinois Central has the largest 

 terminals at Memphis or any point outside of Chicago unless it be New 

 Orleans. • 



The American Car & Foundry Company, at Binghamton, is working on 

 pretty full time and is giving employment to more than 700 persons. 

 This is the largest number of men employed at that plant for several 

 years. The management states that orders have been booked which will 

 necessitate constant operations for an indefinite period and it is highly 

 probable that it will be necessary to increase the number of men em- 

 ployed from time to time. The plant here, which is a branch of the 

 American Car & Foundry Company of §t. Louis, has been doing com- 

 paratively little since it was partially destroyed by fire more than a 

 year ago. However, it appears to have taken on new life and is requiring 

 considerable quantities of both jellow pine and hardwood lumber to 

 take care of its needs. 



W. M. Searight, formerly connected with the Searight & Reese Furni- 

 ture Company, at Birmingham, Ala., has been chosen general manager

 takes the place made vacant through the temporary retirement of L. N. 

 Starke, vice-president of the corporation.

 .Association, has returned from Chicago, where he attended the meeting

 this organization to co-operate with lumber interests throughout the 

 South in all matters pertaining to changes of rates on lumber and lumber 

 products. Mr. Townshend acts in an advisory capacity to this organization 

 in trafiic affairs.

 see. The Lone Mountain Lumber Company and H. Fugate Company, near 

 Harriman, Tenn., have resumed after being closed down on account of 

 the slack demand following the war. Travis Smith, an operator at 

 Jamestown, has started up three mills that have been idle for some time.
