Dodge Brothers are opening up q sales and service sta ton. which will be ir operation soon. A new home is being built tor the Williamson Motor Car company ol Norton avenue. As soon as the new building of the Sylacauga Produce company is completed .lnd 1t moves in, 8 new wholesale and retail hard ware company win. open for business in the old stand.
 Reports coming from marble quar- ries show them doing perhaps the best business in their history. They are always busy, running uay and night.

They were still recalling that Black
Jack Pershing, commander-in-chief OF
the American forces, had shaken his
hand. whacked him admiringly across
the shoulder blades, and publicly ap-
plauded his boxing feats.
Out of the war had come no finer
fitting type, no better specimen OF
physical perfection.
1t seemed certain that Bob Martin
winner of the inter-allied heavy

the goal his buddies had set for him

wonder was that he lasted as long as
he did. His legs trembled. his breath
came in short gaSps. he had no ca
