INSTALLED POWERFUL
PLANING MACHINE
The Bartlesville Planing Mill Cos.
has just installed a wonderful planer,
the Fast Feed Yates Planer, which
largely inci'eases the planing capaci
ty of the plant. This great machine
cost several thousand dollars, prob
ably $5,000 or $6,000, but it is per
haps worth it when you consider the
quantity of lumber it will plane, its
fastest speed being 220 lineal feet
per minute. Mr. B. M. Turner and
hik force worked for several days in
stalling the machine, which weighed
tons and which was complicated in
its makup.
The company now is splendidly
prepared for taking care of its big
business, due to the unusual activity
in the lumber business of this sec
tion.

off Peachtree,’is one of the very best

and the rates are entirely reason
able.
Numbers of people from Barnes
ville have been stopping at the Cecil
when in Atlanta and all of them
speak most favorably of the hotel.
The Cecil’s Coffee Room is one of
the most satisfactory places in At
lanta for taking meals. You will be
pleased if you stop at the Cecil.

GORDON STUDENTS
AWARDED HONORS
Thr many friends of Miss Nettie
May Moore and Mr. Sam Whatley
are gratified to learn that these two
students won first and third prizes,
respectively, in the essay contest held
by* Agnes Scott College. The sub
ject of the essay is “The Value of
the Honor System in High Schools
and Colleges,” and it is quite a dis
tinction for these two students to be
awarded such high honors, especially
when such a large number of South
ern students were competing in the
contest. It is also a compliment to
the English department of Gordon
Institute, in which both received
their training in this line of endeavor.
Miss Marjorie Rosenberg of Albany
was awarded second prize in the con
test.

ties of the state have had this win
ter.
