Civic Club’s
Auction Success
IERY ILL
The Civic Club’s auction came off as
announced in the Sentinel last week.
It was succssful in raising about
$80.00, and would have netted more
had it hot been for the inclement
weather which prevented many ar
ticles being offered.
Roy Banks, who acted as auctioneer,
won laurels for himself as a public
crier and the lasting gratitude of the
ladies for helping them out. He has
kindly consented to conduct the next
sale which will occur probably the I4th
of January.
Memoriul trees are to be planted
next week for the boys who gave their
all in the late war, and a greater me
morial for they and all who saw ser
vice will be built as soon as possible
according to a statement furnished
the Sentinel by the club, which, in
part, is as follows:
“—showing them that, in this time
of great prosperity, we honer and love
them for the great sacrifice they made
in giving their young lives through
the troublous weeks, months and years
some of them gave.”

but Mrs. Pittman’s. Both babies were
born May 22,1919. Mrs. Garner insists
that no tag was placed upon the babies
wrists .so that they could be identified.
A baby was brought to her which she
knew was not hers, and upon her pro
testing that there had been a miatake
it was carried away and another one
brought, which she says, they told her
her baby. She claims she only took
the baby after the hospital officials
had asserted thut there was no mistake
and that the baby was her own. later
she became convinced that the child
was not hers, and visited the Pitt
man home where she saw the baby she
says is hers. This trip to the Pittman
home convinced her that she was
right, she says, so she is taking steps
to gain possession of the baby.

hands with Bourbonisin to destroy

a great middle ground which is held by
the vast majority of Americans and
which they will continue to hold under
competent leadership, but competent
leadership there must be, and no man
better embodies it than Herbert C.

BOUGHT FOR SITE
OF NEW MILL
The lot now occupied by the building
formerly occupied by the Douglas
Hosiery Mill has been purchased by
V. R. Smith as a site for the new cot
ton mill to be built by Mr. Smith.
The material contained in the
building was not transferred in the
sale and will be torn down and re
moved by the owners.
It is expected that work will begin
on the cotton mill building within a
few weeks. Some machinery has al
ready been bought by Mr. Smith, in
cluding a 200-horsepower engine and
boiler. It is said the building will bo
modern in every respect and large
enough to house 10,000 spindles,
though it is not probable that the mill
will be started at that capacity.
MORE HOUSES TO BE BUILT
The number of houses needed to
accomodate the employes of the new
cotton mill is not known, but it ii
probable that something like a dozon
will be built as a beginning.
THREE COTTAGES BOUGHT BY
HOSIERY MILL
The Douglas Hosiery Mill haa
bought three cottages from Mr. Smith
and are preparing to build four more.
A new warehouse may also he built in
the near future. Orders for Douglas
Hosiery Mills goods were never so
heavy as now. Among recent large
orders filled by the company was one
for 21.500 dozen pair from Los Ange
les, California.
