Brothers mov- McBryar sro tat , their groceries and dry goods and notions to their new modern store building on the highway. For the time being, the feed and seed supplies will remain in the old building across from the depot. Lewis McBryar began his business on Aprli 28, 1919- thirty three years ago this week He bought out I. H. Wheeler in the Case Building, called the Old Hotel or Case Hotel, and he has been there ever since. Uncle Lee Case, he recalls, a cousin of John L. Case, was the original owner of the building. He sold out to Wheeler and Wilkerson. Later Wheeler bought out Wilkerson before McBryar purchased the building and went into busi¬ ness at that location. At that time the railroad de¬ pot was the center of the town’s business. In order to go to Chattanooga, people went by train. On the present square, McBryar remembers, was only the John L. Case Co., the old Presbyterian Church, the jail, and an old hotel on the corner where Sally’s beau¬ ty shop is now. But the railroad section was buzzing with activity. The post office was located where the feed store is now across from the depot. W. H. Brock operated the post office and even had a Ford agency there at one time. McBryar remembers that a large fire on July 25, 1919, be¬ ginning in a blacksmith shop of Robert Woolbright next to the old post office, nearly des¬ troyed what was the business section of Trenton. The Case Hotel building burned. Me Bryar’s family was living there then and was renting out the rest of the building as rooms. The fire also destroyed the old post office and the railroad de¬ pot plus a few other buildings. Then one year later, on July 25,1920, another fire struck the section, also burning part of the Case Hotel. After these fires, McBryar ®oved the stock he had saved to the building where Dr. Mid¬ dleton now has his office. Poke Majors originally had a store !n that building, handling gen- eral merchandise. Then Me tfryar moved back to the Case Hotel again.

Measures Urged To Help Hay Situation Dade farmers were urged this week by Slim Adams, County Agent, to begin imme¬ diately to take steps to prepare against the hay shortage that is expected to occur next win¬ ter. ‘‘With the lespedeza seed situation as it is,” Adams said, ’’you need to look to other crops for hay and grazing. Su¬ dan grass and millets can be used for both hay and graz¬ ing.” Adams gave the following Information for measures which would be taken: “Sudan can be planted from late April to July 16. Plant 15 to 20 pounds in rows or broad¬ cast 30 to 40 pounds. Fertilize with 400 to 500 pounds of 4-12-12. Top dress with 200 to 300 pounds of ammonium ni¬ trate. If this crop is to be grazed start grazing when 24 to 30 inches tall. Graze the growth down and top dress again with nitrate. It can be grazed again when plants are 24 inches tall. ‘Browntop and Cattail mil¬ lets make good grazing and hay. Browntop is better for bay than Cattail. Cultural and fertilizer practices are aboui the same for millets as for Sudan grass." Adams suggests that some of the farmers who have fesque and ladino pastures should graze their cattle on temporary pasture through the summer, if possible, and cut the fesque and ladino for hay to carry the cattle through the winter. Joyland Does Not Sell Joyland, located at the top of Lookout Mountain overlook¬ ing Lookout Valley, was offer¬ ed for auction on Tuesday, April 29, by its owner Peter Rountree, but it failed to sell.
