Since last November Mr. Winn has bought more than 40,000 crossties for the C. & W. O. railroad, all delivered at Plum Branch. This has meant- the paying out of about $30,000 in cash at Plum Branch for crossties since last November. Mr. Winn is a* good business man and he has given his best efforts to this enter prise since he began last fall. He says the advertisements in The Advertiser and the McCormick paper have help ed him to swell the volume of his business. He has, in fact, supplied the C. & W.

Not only has Mr. Winn built up a good business for himself, with pos sibilities of great increase yet, but the cross tie business has meant so much to the people who have sold them. The cash which has been paid to them by Mr. Winn has helped many to make tongue and buckle meet. ' Mrs. J. G. Holland and Miss Ruth Tompkins Entertain for Miss R?sela Parker.
