TENNESSEE VALLEY BUREAU THE AGE-HERALD
 Decatur. Ala, Nov. 24 1


 Decatur and Morgan county ap- proach Thanksgiving Day this year with more than usual to be thank full for. Business conditions here are declared to be the best they have been in many years. Farmers are better off financially and local in- dustrial plants are working full time. During the year now closing the Louisville and Nashville shops prob ably reached new high peak for number of men employed. The num- Der in the plant, naturally fluctuates to some extent, but at present large number are furnished employment there and the total probably will be added to during the winter, as many farmers are accustomed to move Into town after their crops are laid by. The Decatur Cornice and Roofing company, probably the second largest industry here, is working the great est number of men in it's history and now is engaged in preliminary con- struction work on it's new plants, which will provide increase facilities and necessarily increasing working crews. The new plants will replace those burned several weeks ago.
 The Decatur Brick and Tile com pany has ordered additional machin- cry to increase it's capacity. The company has already outgrown its capacity several times III tle tWo years in which it has been in busi- ness ehere.
 o O o
 Hosiery Mill Added.
 During the year the Cooper-Wells Hosiery Mill was completed on Second avenue and now is working a large crew, the largest since the "try-out" mill was located here in temporary quarters. J. O. Wells, president of the company, has announced that plans already are under consideration for adding another wing to the present building. When that Is done addi- tional operatives will be taken on as rapidly as they can be trained. It is the intention of the company 1t is said to make the mill one of the largest knitting establishments in the south and the present large site was purchased with the establishment of additional units in mind.
 E. R. Wright, manager of the Albany silk mill, has announced that plans have been drawn for enlarging the capacity of that plant, up until a short timo ago the only silk mill fin the south.
 Practically all of the minor indus tries here are keeping very busy am there Is little, if any unemployment, in this community.

REBUILT DECATUR TO MOULT0N ROAD
Surface Of Rock Being Laid In Morgan And Asphalt On
 Lawrence End
TENNESSEE VALLEY BUREAU I THE AGE-HERALD , nonafur Ala Nov 21


 The stretch of roadway, nine miles in length, between Decatur and the Lawrence county line now is receiv- ing surface of rock. The road, one of the most important in the two counties, is almost impossible every winter, but officials this year are de- termieed if possible to place 1t in condition for use even during the most severe weather.
 The government and state are building a road from Nbulton, Law renee county capital, toward the Nor gan county line. The work being done in Morgan county will connect with the state aid project. Later tt Is anticipated that the state highway commission will order the road con tinued on through Morgan county to Decatur, connecting the county seats of Morgan and Lawrence. This, however, Is somewhat removed in the future, due to the fact that the next road scheduled to be built in that section is a new route from here to Guntersville and Marshall county.

PRESS CLUB WILL VIEW
NEW FILM AT GARRiCK
Private Showing of Covered
Wagon" to Be Given Sunday for
National Organization.

Through the courtesy OF George
Marshall. lessee of the Shubert-Gar
rick Theater, and the Famous Play
ers-Lasky Corporation members of
the National Press Club and their
families will have the privilege of
a private showing of the new film,
The Covered Wagon at that thea
ter on Sunday afternoon, April Is.
from 4 to o'clock.
The picture, which was adapted to
the screen from Emerson Hough's
book of the same title and was pro-
duced under the direction of James
CruZe, is said to be monumental in
conception. Nine states in the far
west were combed for locations, but
finally Mr. CruZe selected the Baker
ranch of 100000 acres in Nevada
owned by Otto Meek. Here he used
more than 1000 horses, a herd of
buffalo. 500 drivers and $50 yoke of
steers to pull the covered wagons on
try in 1S4S. The country where the
picture was staged was untouched
by modern life. it is said. There
were no automobiles. no telephones,
no telegraph no trains. In fact it
is one of the few parts of the United
States that link directly with the
settling of the great west.
A special orchestra of twenty-five
pieces will come from New York with
music. After the entertainment Is
over there will be a ladies' night at
the National Press Club. A special
dinner will be served, there will be
musical selections and, in addition
some novel surprises are promised.
Tickets may be obtained by Press
Club members at the Press Club.
