Cotton Oil Company is expected IN
Reyno sometime during the week
at which time he will look over the
situation, preparatory to reporting
to his company the advisability OF
erecting cotton oil mill at this
place. The location here is the
best and the enterprise will beyond
a doubt be a paying investment
], W. Abbot has force of seven
men now at work on the cotton gin
of ] M. Hawks and work is pro-
crossing very rapidly. The railroad
company has not as yet put in toe
switch but the survey having been
made it will only take few days
to place it in position. The ma
chaery for the gin is expected
next week and it is thought that
carpenters will have some OF the
buildings ready for occupancy OF
the machinery by the time 1t ar
rives. There is quite an amount
of work to be done after the aa2hln-
cry arrives and it is very doubtful
If the plant will be ready for oper'
alton before the first of August.

of week or so. The machine after

just fifty years ago, Tuesday, J..
M. Hawks came into this world,
being born in log cabin near War
ren, this state. 1t was a cold, bleak
day too, something like the days we
experienced the first of the week.
In commemoration of this event
a great feast was enjoyed at the
beautiful Hawks home Tuesday.
We are glad to state that MIR.
Hawks parents are well and enjoy
ing the best of health, and we do
not believe there is a boy in Corn
ing who can follow Grandpa Hawks
on a squirrel or rabbit hunt at the
present time. From poor boy, j..
M. Hawks has wended his way to
that of one of the most successful,
in financial circles, to be found in
the state. Long may he prosper
and live, is the wish of his many
friends. Corning Courier.
j. M. Smith of Success, the cot
tor king of this section, was IN
Reyno the latter part of the week
on business matters. Nj. Smith
will operate the Farmers Union gin
at this place and he requests that
the outside world keep their eyes on
the Reyno cotton market this year.
Mr.. Smith will also operate large
store at tins place, having rented
the Shaver building.
Mrs. i. A. Crissman of Maynard,
who was guest Of friends and rel
atives here for a week, returned to
