inmate.

i went through and inspected
the new planning mill of j. B. Bray.
1t is wonderful how his new ma
chine-y can transform lumber in the
rough into all kinds of highly
polished building material. He
makes doors, blinds, sash, mould
ing, etc, in the highest style of the
art. He deserves the patronage of
all who need any thing in his line.

value of products shipped by car
.oad lots of 1926, $50, besides an i'm
mense amount of small lots which |

assert that our shipments will ex-
,eed $25O,O00 all told. Surely our
folks ought to have some money.
The following is an extract
rom a letter written by Mrs. Keel
ng of Knoxville to her sister. 1t
gives evidence she and her inestim-
lble husband are not treated there
Is strangers in strange land;
Thanksgiving day we were enter
aimed most regally by the extensively
Known and much beloved owner of the
'enowned "Island Home"--Mr. Percy
)ickerson. His family, twenty-five in
lumber-consisting of nephews and
lieces. "Dr." and myself were his
quests.
Twas 4 iestal occasion, and his sump-
uous board beggsrs description, Every
hing delectable, dainty, delicate and
delicious this world of ours furnishes
vas richly prepared and spread before
Is, except the "brains of the birds of
PARADISE" and canary bird tongue.
The '.Island Home" might have fur
lished these, but Mr.. D., wishing TO
his guests, omitted these
fishes. His guests could furnish the
,rains for his table, and woman, dear
Ills her weakness and her pre-
Ogative to furnish tongue wherever she
-oes. Nowhere could l have found
-reater enjoyment save with the loved
mes in my fathers dear home"
This is great compliment
coming from Mrs. Keeling. The
board and hospitality
t the home of her father, Col. w.
:. Dickerson, are proverbial
throughout Giles county.
