ture. Mr.. Hardison having pura
chased an interest in and been
elected general manager of the
Elizabeth Manufacturing Com
pany, one of the largest lumber
plants in the South. Since his
advent to Goldsboro seven years
ago, Mr.. Hardison has won and
held the esteem of all with whom
he has come in contact i'm this
community and section, and when
he subsequently, six years ago,
married and brought Mrs. Hars
Olson here, and our people came
to know her and appreciate them
both, they congratulated them
selves on the acquisition to OH
community. Their departure
therefore will be q real and last
ing source of regret to theil
