concern had been' Incorporated at

would erect plant at Flint, six
miles south of here. where rich
vein of asphalt was said to have
been found.
1t has become known here that an
other kentucky company now is
holding leases on large tracts in
Morgan and neighboring counties
and it is planned by that, it is said
that if their tests pan out as it is
thought they Will. the company will
erect another factory in this area.
Tests already made of asphalt
from this county have revealed that
it rivals the we'll known Kentucky
product in the qualities which make
1t peculiarly suitable for street and
road building.

Business men of the Twin-Cities
probably were more optimistic this
Saturday than on any other week
end in nearly two years.
The increase of q cents an hour,
granted by the Louisville and Nash
Vile railroad to its 100 workers in
Albany and Decatur will add several
thousands OF dollars to the monthly
pay roll of that company here. but
the fact that wages are on the up
grade adds psychological effect
which business men feel will tend to
cause much additional buying.
The new employees of the company,
many of whom have moved here
since the industrial disturbance last
summer, now are getting themselves
AID families established in local
homes and are spending the major
portion of their living expense
budget with Twin City merchants.
The opening of the new hosiery
mill, adding another big weekly pay
roll. also sounded an optimistic call
to better business. In the days OF

the duty of collecting state and coun-
