last year the Woods place mile from

H. S. Shaw. cashier of the Somer.
vile Bank & Trust Co. has purchased

on the west side of the public square in
this city next door to the bank and
which is now occupied by Bloom &
MitchelPs Grocery and meat market.

Winston Harris, the concrete man, is
busy with force of hands this week
building concretewalk on Depot street
from the Southern Railway west along
the Episcopal Rectory property to the
west side of Somerville street at the
corner of the Scruggs property. This
walk will take the place of the brick
one that has been there for many years
and has been troublesome because of
the constant sloughing of the high bank
on which it was built. The new walk
will be a welcome improvement to
those who use that street.

few days bottling plant for bottling
soft drinks. The new business will be
strictly manu- featuring and wholesale
business and when the business is thor
oily organized will give employment to
five or six men. The Falcon is glad to
have Mr.. Russell locate here.
While in Oakland recently we noticed
in local stores there some extra fine
apples and enquired about them. II
was learned that the apples were raised
by Arthur Smith, whose name has been
! seen before along with the list Of pro-
: gressiva and successful farmers of that
community. No better apples are seen
in any store in the county than were
those. and it is gratifying to see a
local grower produce such apples.
0 Many bushels were marketed in Som
8 erville recently by grower near Fay
: cite Corner, but the successful Fay.
cite county orchard is scarce and wher
: We do find one tits to congratulate its
0 owner.
The Falcon has received copy of q
pamphlet recently issued by the N. c.
& st, L. Ry. Industrial department or
''Reclaiming Quilted Lands Of West
Tennessee" 1t is almost strictly q
Fayette county document. 1t shows
by illustration and description how j.
P. Matthews, ]. N. Clay. ". N. Nc
Fadden and others have taken quilted
lands and made them productive and
fertile. These are among the most
. progressive farmers of the county and
own large farms about Oakland. The
pamphlet is both interesting and in
structive and one should be in. the hands
/, of every citizen of the county who has
quilted lands 1t is free. Write l. P.
Bellah, Nashville, Tenn, for copy.
