The attention of The Ardmoreite cor
respondent was attracted Saturday to
a boXcar on the siding being loaded
with bales of cotton whereas previously

developed the fact that the seals on the
car had just been broken that morning
TO unload ten Ford cars shipped to the
Marietta agent, w. l.. Frensley. They

began to roll in and by 2:30 the car
was ready for moving, billed out to the
Gainesville compress, starting on its
