Saturday eysjaing..aL6:30 the entire
Brown Gang drove oct to the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Brown Epperson and
enjoyed the most elaborate buffet din-
ner that you can imagine. I . don’t
think Vera and Lula Mae, who assist-
ed her, left a stone unturned to make
it a success. This was in honoi; of
Miss Matye Jo Brown and Mr* W. P.
Hendrix, who is, soon, to become a
member of the gang.
After dinner, 42 was enjoyed until
a late hour.We came home deciding
that Vera was a perfect cook and
Brown a generous provider.
Those present were:
The honored guests, Matye Jo and
Mr. Hendrix; Mr. and Mrs. T. Brown;
Mrs. Jesse Newsom; Mr. and Mrs.
John Brown; Mr. and Mrs. Zeb New-
soni and children; Mr. and Mrs. Red,
Clark;, Joe Brown, Miss Claudine
Bourland; Mr. and Mrs. B. Weaver
and children; Mrs. Jo F. Brown; Mr.
and Mrs. W. E. Eaton; Mr. and Mrs.
Hulett Franks and children.

plant of sufficient capacity to take care
of any demand made up on it.
One of the first steps taken to fur-
nish the city with an abundance of
electric power and light was the instal-
lation of a Deisel engine developing
120 horsepower, a larger dynamo gen-
erator, and other equipment necessary
to increase the capacity of hi's plant.
Previous to that time he had a 25 h. p.
engine with genorator and another en-
gine devoliping approximately 40 h. p.
with a slightly larger generator. This
equipement was far too small to pro-
vide enough electricity to meet the
growing demand, hence his installa-
tion of a much larger generating
system. Remodeling of the interior of
his plant was made necessary by the
’added equipment, itself an item of ex-
pense. I
With the building of so many'new
Residents in town following the storm,
interior work was enormously increas-
ed and being wothout adequate help,
Mr. Eaton got so far behind with his
work that he is only just now abl£ to
attend to his outside improvements.
New poles, taking the place of tb6se
destroyed in the storm are being plac-
ed, and additional power and light feed
lines are being strung to meet an in-
creased demand for electricity.
Even with the added generating
equipment, the plant is still running
to fuff capasity, and should the de-
mand continue to grow, as it doubtless
will, still additional equipement will
necessarify be installed to keep pace
wikh the growth of the city.

Hatching turkeys in incubators is a
practice introduced, by Ray Andrews,

Mr. Andrews is not only a foremost
theorist in turkey-raising methods, but
is a practical producer of these birds
