The Tazewell Timber Corporation, operating the large boundary of timber near Gratton, which has been closed down for several months, has advertised for men for various kinds of work, and are planning to begin work in earnest as soon as a competent force can be assembled. The company will employ a large force of men. The starting on the brick plant at Tip Top, which has been idle so long, is good news to the people of that vicinity, and to the county, as is also the opening again of the lumber plant at Gratton. The Tip Top plant will be under the management again of Captain George SHAFER, who operated the plant successfully for a number of years, when he resigned, and was succeeded by Rev. Mr. SHUFF. Captain SHAFER has been living in Pennsylvania and
Philadelphia for a number of years, and the county is glad to welcome this genial gentleman home again.
