A news item from Gainesville, Fla., says:
English and Eastern capitalists have bought a site here and it
is said will invest $2,000,000 in mills for the manufacture of
paper from the fiber obtained from pine stumps, thousands of
which may be had in the immediate neighborhood.
The old pine stumps are useless. They are only the remains of past
possibility and power. Their hope for future usefulness seems gone.
Yet there is a new and better future for them, a greater possibility
than ever known before. So in the realm of human lives a character that
seems to be ruined is often reclaimed to useful living.
