The Lavonia Times of last week >. con rained the following parato o oh. ?which, we hope, does not mean that Oconee will lose Mr. Haley as one of her citizens: "Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Haley left on Wednesday morning for Westmln-? stor, after a visit ol' several days in Lavonia. Before leaving Mr. Haley bought the store now occupied by ,1. F. Marett, possession to be given on January 1st next. While we did not hear Mr. Haley say so, this is a very good indication that ^avonla is to gain another splendid citizen. There ls always room for citizens of Mri Haley's type. May his tribe greatly 1 increase." ?> Take the Postmaster's Word for IL F. M.

Come to see u C. W. < THE OCONEE KNITTING ^ELLS. ! Recently Improved-?Will Have New Machinery and Increased Capital. The Oconee Knitting Milla have re cently been Improved In many ways, but more particularly In the quality and quantity of their products. Sev eral new machines have been added to the equipment and radical changes made in the dye house. J. F. Roberts, an experienced and practical mill man from New Eng land, now has charge of the mill and is systematizing lt from one end to the other on practical milling lines. One uf the greatest. Improvements recently made is in the dye plant, which has heretofore been the one greatest problem with the O.K. MUIB. Not long since Mr. Walker, repre senting the Berlin Aniline Dye Works, was here in the Interest of his com pany, whose dyes the milln are now. using. He was carrying numerous samples of dyed hosiery selected from the product of the best ml UH In the South. He exhibited them with great pride as showing what could be accomplished, with his dyes. Upon seeing the dyed goods now produced by the Oconee Knitting Mills, how ever, he was forced to admit that not a single sample ht was exhibit ing could compare wi $k them. He carried away with him a number of Bamples, which, he said, surpassed anything i> * had been able to find anywhere, aud In addition to this had a dozen pairs of hose shipped to his home office for exhibition there. At the changing of the dye plant of the O. K. Mills it was necessary to throw out a very expensive dyeing outfit, but In view of the betterment of the mill's product lt was thought advisa ble to do this. The present system is not nearly so elaborate or compli cated, but there is no comparison in" the results obtained. Mr. Roberts ls very hopeful of tho future of the mill now that it is pro posed to increase the capital stock and add the necessary machinery to put the mill on a paying basis. It has heretofore been badly handicap ped by not having enough machinery to make the plant a paying one. It has only been a short while now since the mill began the manufacture of half hose, and this new departure is also proving a success One of the most gratifying things to Mr. Roberts is the marked im provement in the work of the opera tives, who, under his careful guid ance, are fast becoming expert in their various departments. They are taking kindly to the new methods in the mill, and as a result the qual ity of their work has been raised and at the same time their pay has been steadily on the advance The outlook for tho mills is much brighter than for some time past, and it- is thought that so soon as the additional capital ls put into the plant, that it will be made to pay a good dividend. Mr. Roberts seems to be thoroughly alive to the inter ests of the mill, and ls bending every energy lu his efforts to make the O. K. Mills second to none in the mat ter of business methods and quality of its products. To Baptists of Upper Oconee. Betti? Creek.

Ellison, of Seneca, opened his new. hotel, The Oconee Inn, and is now entertaining a large number of guests. This ex cellent hotel was destroyed by Aro last year," and the public has greatly missed lt.
