BIG PLANT FOR BLAIRSVILLE. Columbia PlateGlans to Krcct Factor lea There. Blairsville is elated over the bright prospect before her of the erection of a large plate glass works at that place. For several weeks negotiations have been going on between enterprising citizens of that town and the officials of the Columbia Plate Glass of Pittsburg, to the locating of the latter's proposed now plant at vBlairsville. The desirability of Blairsville as a site was shown to the glass people.

Sand rock in the immediate vicinity was tested and was found to be of superior quality. Options were secured on a large area of the rock fields and on coal lands. A site for the works was secured arffl offered free of charge. Blairsville was awake to the situation' and was almost prodigal in her open-handed liberality, because it was found that the location of the proposed works there would mean a substantial boom for the town.
