A. A. Persons and l. r. Greer, Inspector
for the state convict bureau, rival can

other.
Colonel Tilford, one of the largest plant

ANOTHER BIC DAM
ACROSS THE COOSA
Alabama Power Company
Will Begin Work at
Hull's Ferry
By W. p. THOMPSON

Mountain Creek, September S-(Special)
Recently an agent of the Alabama Power
company arrived here and went out to
the Coosa river, six or seven miles from
here, and from blue prints measured the
site for the location of a dam across
the river at what is known as Hull's
ferry.
In conversation this agent OF the power
company said that the construction of a
dam across the Coosa river at this point
mentioned would commence in the near
future, and further said that the reason
the power company was so anxious to
commence work in the near future was
to enable them to furnish men work, who
necessarily would be through work at the
great dam at lock II before March l.
This news, known to only few here. is
received with much satisfaction. as is
customary with people who appreciate
the employment of so large a number of
men in their Vicinity, as this work will
necessitate.
Mountain Creek station will be the
point from which supplies will necessa-
rily have to be obtained, and also shipped
for the sustenance of this large force
of labor.
