brick, fire brick, draintile, terra cotta and glazed tiles. Stoneware is the chief pottery product. She has fine white pipe clay in abundance, fire clays in inexhaustible quantity, excellent pottery clays, and all varieties and colors of brick clay. Her white potter's clay is used by the Cincinnati potteries. An excellent grade of pottery is made at Waco, from residual clays of the Panola shale. There are about twelve potteries in the western part of the state. At Covington were established, in 1887, "The Cambridge Art Tile Works," to make enamelled and embossed tiles. The plant has been enlarged from year to year, for greatly increasing business, and produces, for interior decoration, a high grade of friezes, mouldings, mantel facings, panels, etc. Relief work, and also intaglio, are used, covered with clear, colored glazes, remarkably free from crazing. They also make a specialty of imitation mosaic work. BIBLIOGRAPHY.-Barber, E.
