WILLIAMS NEWS

There are only three local men
playing on the Williams baseball team
this year. The rest of the players
are men who have been in Williams
only short time.
J. D. Tannehill and his gang of
workmen are doing maintenance work
on the Williams Grand-Canyon road.
The work is being confined mainly to
the widening of the road so as to
make more turnouts.
In an interview with Mr.. Kirby of
Williams it was learned that the
supervisor of the Tusayan national
forest has given permission to
Messrs. Kirby and Dameron to erect
store on the Williams-Grand Can
yon road just short distance south
of the branch road leading to Grand
view. Mr.. Kirby plans on starting
work on the erection of the store
within two weeks.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gerald Gillett of
Flagstaff have moved to Williams.
Mr. Gillett has accepted a position
with the Saginaw & Manistee Lumber
company there. The couple are liv-
ing in the Steers residence. It is
understood that they are still in the
newlywed class.

But who could write up the women's
game and do them justice? 1t is a
job that can't be done.
Let's go at it in a judicial frame of
mind. First, they proved to be far
better players than the men, because
they made four times as many runs
in five innings as the men did. Sec
ond, undeniably, the lady pitchers had
far more enhancing curves. Take
that as you like or leave it altogether
They showed greater interest in the
game, too, SO many wanted to play at

Two left, one center, two skinny, one

with adding machines trying to catch

estimated at 1887, 9499 and tie

get in summer camp; /. B.. Koch, who
declared Flagstaff people had been
many times repaid their investment in
scouting by the life-saving done by
several local scouts last Friday: John

who actively help in scout work; C.
B. Wilson, who dedicated the new
scout quarters a short distance away
to the Flagstaff scouts.

Mr.. Campbell believes, will bring a

continue their journey across the cont

Old Trails highway and, consequently,
will come through to Flagstaff to get
on the Old Trails.
The road will be practically an all

be blocked a short time in winter, it
will not deter auto travel, for Mr..
McPheeters has laid out another road

merchants are well pleased with the

 13,955 School Population
County Has Six Standard, Four-Year High
 Schools All Doing Able Work

The last school census of Talladega county showed school population of 13,955. Of these, 3,4S2 are in cities. Enrolment of the county schools at this time is more than 10000. The stu dents are taught by more than 225 teachers, many of whom had special training for the work they are doing.
 The county has six standard four year high schools at which it's sons and daughters may prepare for higher in- stitutions of learning.
 All state-owned buildings in the rural sections was recently painted and renovated, and a number of new build ings have been constructed during the past three years.
 One of the recently constructed schools is at Childersburg-a handsome brick building with eight class rooms and a large auditorium. No more beau tiful school architecture can, be found in the south than that which has been worked out in this type of building. One of it's advantages is that 1t is just one story in height.
 The schools of the county range in size from the one-teacher, school, of which there are only few, to the we'll organized consolidated schood in which no teacher has more than two grades. Of the second class, there are three large consultations in the county. Pupils who live over two-and-One-half miles from the schools are transported at public expense. No movement in be-

BANKS STRONG
 IN TALLADEGA
Have Always Occupied High Plane In Finan-
 cial World


 As banking center, Talladega is especially strong. Its financial insti- tutions have always occupied a high place in the banking world. They are conservative, but not to the extent of failing to be progressive. Especially have they been liberal in their accom- modatiens to Talladega county's great est industry. that of farming. The farmers of Talladega county have al- ways been able to get banking accom- modations to the extent of the banks ability.
 The resources of Talladega's banks total over $2,OOO,O 600. Their combined capital stock, surplus and undivided profits total $56O, O,034.06.
 At this time deposits in Talladega banks amount to approximately $2,000,- 900.
 The annual bank clearings in Talla- dega are something over $5O0,000 a month or in year about $I,O00,0 900.
 In business circles local banks are liberal. It is a common remark to hear individuals, now prosperous and well-to-do, say: "I owe my success to a certain bank" The attitude of the public shows that Tslladega banks are functioning along the lines for which they were established.

WORK PUSHED ON
 IMPORTANT ROAD
Project Will Extend From SyIa-
 cauga To Childersburg

Work of grading the important road from Sylacauga to Childersburg is be- ing pushed by large force of work men. This project, when completed, will give the Sylacauga section excellent roads in all directions.
 Plans of the Central of Georgia rail way to change its road bed over part of the proposed route may necessitate a few changes. The county cOmmission- CTS and railroad officials will work out the problem at an early date.
 The survey of the railroad calls for it to bear to the left near the switch of the Wisconsin Alabama Lumber company, and to continue in that direc. ton for about five miles coming. back into the old roadbed near Zubers sta tion, and will bridge the 0den mill pond in route, rhis-will take in part of the public road to Childersburg. The railroad company suggests that it trade it's olr roadbed for the part of the public road that it's new survey will take up. If this plan is accepted, the Childersburg road will run over the present railroad right-of-way from Zubers to Walc0, entering Sylacauga through Mignon. This will make the road to Childersburg much straight CT and will practically eliminate all the dangerous curves and hills that are now on it, and is an ideal solution of this road problem. It will not effect the people living on the old road as that part which remains will be sur- faced and will be in better condition than ever before.

RETAIL TRADE ON
 A GROWING SCALE
More Than Sixty Estab- lishments Doing Busi-
 ness In Talladega

In retail establishments, the stocks carried by Talladega dry goodsmen and department stores meet the require nents of an exacting public. Buyers of many of them visit the New York and other markets twice a year and some of them oftener, assuring their patrons that what they purchase in Talladega can be worn at any time and place and will be the correct thing. This fact which is known oyer a wide territory brings to local merchants many out-of,town customers, whom they especially try to please, thus adding to Talladega's prestige. In the matter of prices it is frequently demon strated that for the same quality, dry goods, ready-to-wear and all family furnishings are obtainable here as req sonably, and oftentimes at a lower price, than in the large cities. This condition has been brought to pass be- cause ithe residents of smaller towns travel more now, see the things in mode in the big centerS. and in the common vernaeular of the day know whats what" consequently the mer. chants have had to change theiU busi- ness methods to hold the patronage of their townsmen.
 This condition holds good in all lines of business. Compare local prices of business. Compare local prices in the grocery line with those quoted in the big cities, and practically the same state of affairs exists. In all cases, except where peculiar conditions exist, where quantity lots in perishable goods make a difference. Talladega buys what it eats at as low a price as do residents of large cities.
 Few variations exist in any class of the retail trade Talladgea has drug stores in equipment and furnishings that compare with those anywhere. Large hardware stores and furniture stores are in line with the general policy of the town. In jewelry there Is no exception to the rule. A large part of the produce sold in Talladega is product of the county, the same being true in cattle and hogs. The ucts which have wide local and out-of-town patronage.
 But what Talladega retailers sell is not all. There is the added ser vice and n personal touch with each one strives to put into his busiess.
 There are 60 or more retail estab- lishments in the business district, and in the main each one fulfills the mis- sion for which it was established.
 The total retail sales in Talladega annually are approximately $2,225, 600. Annual sales of it's stores are from a quarter million down to a few thousand each, The solidity of this charActer of business is exemplified in the number of years many of them have been in existence.
