ing stave bolts on his land here.
IIite Mock and Lester Johnson Of
Maynard were here buying cattle last
week
Uncle ]. n. Sorrel and wife of Dali
ton visited Aunt Amanda Timer lost
week end and attended church at Mt.
Pisgah.
our good friend, Aut Hayes, is suf-
fering from a severe stomach trouble.
DIR. ]. w. Brown is treating him.
w. II. Goodman and wife and little
daughter, Lois, of Pocahontas visited
and attended church here last week

The Hogan brothers have bought
car. Listen, girls, for old Henry to
honk.
Our good friend, John Timer, has
rented his farm to Guy Hayes of Pig
gott. We are not advised as to Mr..
Timers plans for the future.
Alfred Holloway of Old Swarts and
Miss Lewis of Attica were quietly mar
ried Sunday. Rev. Jack w. Spikes
spoke the words that made them man
and wife.
Emil Shaver and wife are picking
cotton for Jim Louis Barnett in the
bottoms this week.
The cotton around here is late and
the bolls are scattering Worms are
eating the foliage off so the fellow
who went heavy on cotton this year
is going to get bowed up again.
Uncle Clark and Mark Holland,
twin brothers, who were raised in Rip
ley County, Mo-, have been working
at the stave mill here this summer.
These fine old men are Ga years old
and are as much alike as two soy
beans. They are friends to all who
are trying to do right.
There has been lots of corn and hay
raised in Randolph county this year.
This sure looks good. Our farmers
can raise their own living at home if
they will only try but if they insist on
trying to raise cotton (and ruin the
land) and buy their living from the
northern hog, corn and wheat belt
farmers they can blame no one hut
themselves for hard times.
Several big trucks from Pocahontas
are running day and night hauling
slaves from Hamlin & Sons Stave Mill
here. They are yarding them at Po-
cahOntas.
Rev. Odell eagle closed two weeks
protracted meeting at Mt. Pisgah last
Sunday. Although a young man, Bro.
eagle is an able speaker who digs down
after the truth, hews to the line and
presents the truth to saint, sinner and
luSe-warn Christian in a way that
makes them sit up and take stock of
themselves. A few candidates were
baptised. This meeting was at night
only. The crowds were large and the
good and we hope and be-
lieve that much good has been ac-
by this meeting.
The Republicans are proud of their
candidate for governor, and justly so,
for every voter in the state knows Hon.
Drew Bowers is a high toned gentle
man and a clean man whose honesty
and integrity is far above reproach.
We notice that our good Democratic
friends are crying out for clean men
in Office from governor down to road
Overseer and we don't believe that
they are going to rap on Mr.. Bowers
very hard but are going to let him have
a square deal We hope so, at least.

Oakland to Turn
Out 1000 Cars Daily

Immediately following the an
nouncement Of Oakland's huge ex-
pansion program the contract was let
and the construction begun on the
new 100000 Pontiac Six factory
which will bring Oaklands production
up among the four largest producers
OF cars in the world.
A. ]. Brandt. vice president in
charge of operations. states that this
expansion not only doubles the size
of the present Oakland factories. but
Will also double the number of en-
ployes about the first of the year when
the new plants will be ready for a
production of 1000 additional cars per
day.
The new factory will be the last
word in automobile plant construction
ana equipment. 1t will embrace three
manufacturing units and power
plant. The prodigious size of the first
units to eerected may be cleaned
from the fact that the largest of the
three structures Is to be a quarter of
a mile long and two stories high with
basement. This means single unit
four city blocks in length 1t is to be
devoted to the assembly of cars and
will have a total floor area of more
than 100000 square feet.
The second unit will be car stor-
age and shipping department. This
building will be 900 feet long and $50
feet wide with all shipping and re-
ceiving docks under cover. The third
unit will be devoted entirely to the
manufacture of Pontiac Six engines
1t will be 700 feet long and 375 feet
wide, and will include in it's equip
ment. the latest and most advanced
machinery.
These buildings are being erected
adjacent to the mammoth Fisher Body
Corporation plant at Pontiac and close
to the present Oakland factory build
ing.
The demand for the Pontiac Six
continues to outrun the production
ability of Oakland factories each sue
ceeding month, setting new high
volume record for any new make of
car during its first year.

eraply faster than the acceleratton in
our average light car of the present
day and would be in line with the ac-
celeration capacity Of the h1ajor:ty of
our s1X-cylinder cars.
The low body construction would
permit traffic officers to see farther
down the traffic line. Four-wheel
brakes of the European type would
enable the driver of the light car to
stop in safety back of the quicker
stopping cars ahead and would serve
to eliminate much of the trouble from
rear end collisions.
The shorter overall length would
easily permit from $500 to 800 more
