The Dixie Daisy Haystack Ventila tor Co. have purchased the nec essary machinery and will man ufacture haystack ventilators here. The building formerly used by B. E. Grandy for his planing mill near the depot, has been secured and the plant will begin operation about April 15. The capacity of the plant will be from 2400 to 4800 ventilators a day. The article to-be manu factured was recently invented and patented by J. F. Harris of Pickens, and it is said will save twice as much hay as the old way of saving it. It will be a great thing for the farmers and the cost is small. The company is capitalized at $10,000. The charter has been issued and the officers are J. McD. Bruce, president and treasurer: J. F. Harris, vice president and general manager, and T. J. Mauldin, secretary The stockholders are the presi dent, vice president, secretary, and R. E. [Bruce, G. A. Ellis, W. T. Bates, I. M. Mauldin, B. Lewis, and A. M. Morris. That they have great faith in the zood qualities of the ventilator is shown by the fact that all the stock was subscribed in three hours. Traveling salesmen will be put on the road and an extensive advertising c impaign inaugu rated. Orders for many thous and have already been secured. We wish the company great success and hope it will be the' means of helping the farmers ?very where to realize more on heir hay. Entertainment At School House.
