Work of remodeling and changing the plant of the milk company at North Tazewell by the Imperial Ice Cream Company is making progress and within ten days Manager Herbert expects to be making ice cream from the famous Tazewell County blue grass milk. Modern machinery for the different departments is being put in place this week. The building is being reconditioned inside, and adapted to the needs of the new company. Modern ice cream delicacies will be made in what will be one of the most sanitary and up to date plants in the country. The officials of the company are very optimistic of the business that will be developed in this territory, and feel that in anything like normal
conditions the plant can be run at full capacity. At the present time about seven hundred gallons of milk is being received daily and disposed of through the organized channels of the company, and it is believed that in the very near future the Imperial Company will develop a market for more milk than is now being produced in the county, and cleared through the local plant. Mr. HERBERT is of the opinion that when the coal operations in this territory resume normal output, one of the finest markets in all the country will be available for the products of the company, and the Tazewell County producers will be beneficiaries. The people of this territory who haven't inspected a modern ice cream plant will be welcomed at the North Tazewell operation and given a sample of cream which it is hoped will make Tazewell famous.
The Tazewell Masons have received fine, handsome curtains for their hall here. These curtains have been installed and were secured by donations from a number of the ladies of this town, wives of the Masons.
Miss Jessie O'KEEFFE called on the donors and raised a substantial fund for the new addition to the hall. Miss
O'KEEFFE promised the lodge last summer, upon the completion of the building, that she would raise the money for the material and took it upon herself to do so. The Tazewell Lodge is very grateful, and extends its
appreciation to Miss O'KEEFFE and all who contributed to this good work. Mrs. John
THOMPSON, wife of Sergeant THOMPSON, made the curtains.
