there being a hoId-up man They
told him that they wanted him
to open the vaults and wanted
them opened Immediately and
without argument Cooper did
both. He gave those men the
same kind of service as he would
give a prospective customer whose
business he was seeking.
And they reciprocated by
gently but firmly placing him in
the vault, closing the door, and
turing the combination.
The secretary and president of
the bank released Cooper several
minutes afterwards, although he
said it seemed as if he had been
there half a -Hatties-

FARMS OF
STONE COUNTY

Just as the Bluegrass state is
noted for it's handsome estates, it's
country homes and its wonderful
hospitality so this section of the
country will in time carry with it
a reputation for lovely farm
homes, beautiful surroundings
and blue ribbon live stock.
Friendship farm just a short
ride from Virgins, is one of the
farms that is noted for its hospi-
tality. Its rolling lawns meet its
pecan orchards and it's Towering
hedges attract the passerby.
Friendship farm is essentially a
fruit and nut farm. 1t is the
property of the Stapp family, who
have long resided in this territory
and is the residence Of Mr.. and
Mrs. +. M. Srapp of this place.
just a bit further on is the farm
Of Mr.. and Mrs, A. Jonson, whose
orange orchard is visited by hun
dreds of person every season.
Mr.. johnson has one Of the
best little orchards in the South,
and has, this year entertained
guests from New York state and
other distant states who were
touring The county to see the pos
sibiiities Of this section.
Chamberlian's farm does a
general farming and dairying
business. Supplies the town of
Wiggins<and vicinity with milk
and milk products. 1t is one of
the best farms in this part Of the
eut-over section, and is the
property Of JAS. Chamberlain.
Myrtle Tree farm Of Fruitland
Park, while not in this county, is
a large and well cared for farm,
producing a general line of farm
ing products. 1t is the property
of G. r. Norton.
The Mississippi farm operated
by Mr.. G. Pratt, is one of the show
places of the Dixie Highway. Its
orange orchards and pecan
orchards border the highway and
at this season its golden glow of
fruit attracts the attention of all
who travel that route.
The King Bee farm, operated as
a cattle ranch, is the property Of
Kennedy & Company. 1t is
modern in every detail and shows
conclusiyely that cattle growing
is an industry that pays in this
section,
There are many others, well
kept, modern in every respect,
tlat would demand the attention
of any wouldbe purchaser.

SHUTTLE BLOCK Mill
USES ONLY DOCWOOD

One of the new industries here
is the shuttle block mill recently
put in operation by Atty. U. B
Parker.
The mill is for he manufacture
Of blocks from which shuttles art
made. These shuttles are used in
the manufacture Of cloth and are
always a market necessity.
Only dogWood Of the best
quality is used in the manufacture
Of the blocks. After the blocks
leave the mill they are seasoned
for four years before the shuttles
are manufactured.
The shuttle is a simule affail
into which d spool is slipped. 1t
is fitted with steel ends to pre-
vent wearing and is used both in
the manufacture of cotton and
W0Olen cloth.
SO carefully does the selection
of blocks have to be made that
only six blocks are made from a
mature dOg-Wood.
Mr.. Parker states that he has
sufficient timber to run his mill
5 years and hat he mill has a
capacity of from two to three car
loads of blocks per month.
Mr. Parker will move his mill
directly into the timber he pro-
poses to cut, and he.industry he
has started promises to mean q
great deal to this community.

FINKBINE LUMBER
PLANT
Vast Amount of Money Put Into
Circulation Monthly.


sawed annually by the Finkbine
sawmill located at Wiggins.
Five hundred men are employ
ed in it's manufacture.
$4,000 per month is put into
circulation in the town of Wig
gins by this one company.
A chain Of five stores are run
for the benefit Of its employees.
Large figures, these, for small
town. The Finkbines and their
associates do things on a large
scale. Their mill was, at the time
it was built, one Of the most
modern in the entire South. They
maintain residences, shops, Of
fices, railroads and telephones for
the convenience Of employees.
The trustees of the company are
Mr.. 3. c. Finkbine, Mr.. w. O.
Finkbine, and IL. f. Graeffe and
Mr.. w. e. Guild, general manager,
Mr.. Jacob Klumbo, manager of
timber interests, Mr.. 6. E. Klumb,
general sales agent and Mr.. S.
Mincy, resident manager.
The plant was erected in 1902
and 1903 by the Finkbine family
Of Iowa, who have long been
identified with the lumber in
terests Of the South, and while
the company is now known as the
Finkbine Lumber Trustees, the
personnel of it's higher officers is
practically the same as at its
establishment.
The Finkbine Company does
both an export and an interior
business.
A act very worthy Of considera-
tion in connection with the
activities Of this company is that
although none of the trustees Of
the company live in the town OF
Virgins, yet in most instances,
the highest officers at the com
pany's command have been given
to town boys who have begun at
the bottom as office boys and mes
sengers and worked up to the top.
The system of promotion OF
this company is so well worked
out that any steady young man
who obtains work with them may
we'll consider himself on the road
to success.
The Finkbine Lumber Company
aim to cooperate with the peo-
pie of the towns in which they
locate their large mills, and with
this end in view, many improve

The American Pickle & Canning g
Company have the largest plant of
it's kind South of Chicago and are
shipping South Mississippi pickles
at the rate of a car a day.
These pickles are consumed not
only by Southern States but 60 to
the cities of the East and West
and North.
Visitors to this plant have been
amazed to see such an industry
located at Virgins.
At least 100000 worth of busi>
ness in pickles alone was done by
this factory in 1923.
The pickle industry has grown
to it's present proportions under
difficulties. 1t is still growing
however, and farmers and busi-
ness men alike are coming to a
realization Of what this one manu-
featuring concern means to this
section. A business of over ST.
100000 is expected in 1924.
The factory employs $50 peo-
pie and has a weekly payroll of
around $4,000.
The factory was erected in 1912
