Handle Manufacturer
Seeks Site; Numerous
Advantages in Lex.

A large and responsible manufacturer
of hickory implement handles, is on the
lookout for a new location, and has
written E. E. Huffstatler asking about
timber resources in the vicinity of Lev
ington and whether certain inducements
might be made to insure the location of
the plant in our city. Requirements are
sufficient quantity of hickory timber
to enable the plant to operate from five
to ten years.
Inquiry develops the fact that the han
die factories use tight-bark, second
growth hickory, in block forty inches
long and from six inches up in diam
eter. 1t further develops that the wood
ed hills lying in the territory between
Lexington and Tchula, and extending
from the Carroll to the Yazoo county
line, are abundantly supplied with such
timber. 1t is said that such timber is
commonly trucked over a distance of
twenty miles where good roads are avail
able, and such radius would include
great distance in Big Black river bot
tom and a still greater distance in the
delta.
The company in question has been
manufacturing handles for the past 25
years, and are reaching out for a new
supply Of timber. A rough finishing
plant is now desired, which would en-
ploy from fifteen to twenty-five men,
and still more in the woods and on the
trucks. 1t is possible that large fin
ishing plant would be erected later, in
event timber is available for the rough
plant.

Christmas Service At
the Methodist Church

"And Jesus increased in wisdom and
stature and in favor with God and
man." Luke 1852.
The above will be the text used Sun
day morning at II o'clock at the Metho-
dist church by the pastor, Rev. Standi-
fer Raper.
The 25th day of December is a red
letter day in our calendar and in our
lives, says Mr.. Raper; it is as if the
golden age had come, for week at
least. AS James Whitcomb Riley says:

Thousands Crowd in
Showroom to Get a
Glimpse of New Ford

Last Saturday was truly Ford Day in
Lexington, when Barr-Gwin Co., local
dealers had new model Sport Coupe
Ford on display, in charge of H. r.
Gregg, factory representative of the
Memphis branch.
Hundreds attended the local show
rooms from early morn to late Saturday
night, and the interest in the new pro-
duct of this world famed automobile
plant, was very evident on every hand.
The new car is beautiful automo-
bile, fine in every detail of finish and
appearance, and classy looking vehicle
from every standpoint. 1t is stated that
it develops speed from 2 to 70 miles
an hour, and is able to negotiate all
kinds of roads with the same ease of
operation as it's former predecessor. Mr..
Gregg, factory representative, stated
that the gasoline consumption ran
around 32 miles to the gallon with the
carburetor open, and owing to bad
weather encountered and muddy roads
travelled, this feat was astounding in
the economy of operation, yet such had
been his personal experience while max
ing this tour and visit to the various
dealers.
Interested spectators and prospective
buyers made up the crowd all during
the day, and many orders were booked
for the new car. L. E. Barr, of the
Barr-Gwin Co., stated that he was very
grateful to the large crowds in visiting
their show rooms, and that the day was
one of the biggest in the history of
their business.
Ford, according to many who viewed
the new model, has again proven his
ability and genius in presenting the
public with a fine, serviceable small car
for a modest sum.

Bond Issue Carries
New School Assured

By vote of 245 for and 80 against,
the voters of Lexington in the election
held Saturday, authorized the issuance
of 100000 in bonds for the improvement
of the present schoo building and the
erection of new high school building.
This movement has been agitatcd for
some time now, and while favorable
decision was expected at the polls, the
overwhelming victory is of particular
delight to school folks and all who
favor progress in civic affairs.
Lexington is now furnishing the op-
portunity for education in an accred-
tied high school to some two hundred
country boys and girls living within
reach OF the city. This large enrolment
so badly crowded seating and classroom
facilities that an enlargement of such
facilities was necessary, end the bond
issue is the answer. With the equip.
ment thus provided, it will be possible
to offer the opportunity Of education
in state accredited high school moi
only to the children of Lexington, but
also to every boy and girl living within
ter-n1ile radius of our city.

Wattenberg Speaks on
Jewish Colonization
Progress in Russia

The story of Jewish colonization in
Soviet Russia will be brought home
to the Jewish population of this city
in a report to be delivered by DR..
Elias Wattenberg, who has Just re-
turned from an extensive trip in the
new colonies. The report will be Civ.
en- at a mass meeting, Thursday, Jan.
20, at Mirror Hall, Western at Divi-
sion.
Was Delegate.
Wattenberg was one of the few
American delegates at the world CON
gress for furthering Jewish colonial
ton in Soviet Russia, held at Moscow
in November. He represented the
"Icor" Holding corporation. an organ
ization having for its aim the creation
of funds for financial, credit, and other
assistance to the Jewish colonists in
Soviet Russia.
At the congress in Moscow repre-
sentatives of the Soviet government
pledged the fullest support of the gov
eminent in the work of alleviating the
economic stress Of the Jewish popula-
ton thru the settling of large num-
bers of Jews on land. The work has
been going on a large scale during
the past two years when over 100000
Jews of the small towns of the
Ukraine and White Russia have been
settled. This colonization movement
of the Jewish people in Soviet Russia
has stirred the deepest interest and
sympathy among the Jews all over
the world.

there would be to reject the public
