Is West Green dead?
S’-me people were under the impres
•den that it would die as soon as the
Garrant Lumber Co., moved its mill
away and it is true that business was
hurt in a limited way when the mill
as carried away.
But have you noticed the progress
hat has recently been made in our
wn? The Cochran Telephone and
Grocery Co., under the supervision of
Dave Cochrqn has just completed a
new grocery store and installed a
and new filling station on Main
street. East of the railroad an ex
tension of the same street has been
ade by cutting down the trees and
andergrawth through the pond.
The Denton store, a beautiful mod
rn structure east of the railroad
nd north of the depot, promises to
!o a thriving business under the
management of John L. Denton.
The West Green Mercantile Co.,
and post office building has also taken
on new color. Dave Worth has dis
tinguished himself as a painter by
painting this building.
The crops in the suberb of our
town are growing well and have be
come a deeper shade of green under
he refreshing showers of the past
?w days.
