A SOUR CREAM STATION
TO BE OPERATED HERE
Irr.n,amenta Made by H. T. Cli>
And E. A. Nesmith to Commence
Operation at Early Date.
A sour cream station will be
opened here in the very near future,
through the efforts of Mr. H. T. Cline
and Farm Agent E. A. Nesmith, who
have made arrangements with a well
known creamery' to handle the prod.
The station will be opened in the
rear of the People’s Hardware Co.,
who have given free use of space
their store and rear yard for 1
operation of the station.
Sour cream stations have been es
tablished in other sections, and have
proven profitable and there is
reason it can not be done in Bald
win county. By milking a few cows
and selling the cream a farm can
be operated on a cash basis, because
this county hns sufficient pasture
lands, and plenty of cows.
Let those who wish to join in
movement begin now to fence and
get ready, and have something else
to sell for cash besides cotton, which
it costs more to produce than you
can sell it for.
The Union Recorder will publish
fuller information next week about
the cream station, but in the mean-
any one who is interested can

The A. C. hns a splendid record
to its credit in South Georgia, hav
ing defeated some of the best teams
in that section, G. M. C. having fall

The A. C. five is fast and flashy and
there is no question as to the kind
