Klondike Farm
Important to this section Is Klon
dike Farm, owned by .Mr. Chatham
and managed by Mr. Ruobs Pyron.
Since Its purchase a few years ago
by Mr. Chatham, constant Improvc-
ent work has been under way, and
already an enviable reputation has
been gained among dairies of the
eoantry, a number of their famous
Oiiornseys having been sold to wide
ly scattered points at extremely
laiicy prices within recent months.
While the owner concentrates
largely on purebred Oiicrnseys,
sheep, hogs and horses also find n
prominent place on the farm, and
these herds are being constantly en
larged as the demand necessitates.
Mr. Chatham's activity through
tbe purchase of thia farm has been
a great incentive for belter forming
among >he land owners of this t
Hon. and has given Inspiration
lumeroDS farmers which has cansed
kheni to nse more -clentltlc methods

[and perhaps the Stale, and to Mr.

Southern Public
Utilities Co,
Building: & Loan
Association
Id referring to the Southern Pub
lic Utilities Co., of which Mr. ll. T.
Brown is local manager, it may be
easily and trustfully said that this
firm ranks as one which has con
tributed to tbe material growth of
this section through its activities,
and Is today continuing its efforts to
be of service to the public through
further anticipated extensions of its
powsr lines.
Many nooks and corners of this
section, hitherto in utter darknoM
except for the light of the kerosene
lamp or the s'eak, (allow candle,
have been Illuminated by electricity,
and eye strain relieved to many fam
ilies who were forced to uso such
antiquated methods for lighting.
EIetrlc ranges are also fast dis
placing the wood or keroseoe
for cooking.
And this leads up to an Import-
it part of the now hospital equip-
eni—that of electrical refrigera
tion. fivo Kelvinators baring been
installed In tho building for the
protection of food, etc., and for sup
plying cold water throughout the
structure.
If major conrcntence had to be
eliminated from public use, there
would be r vrlld cry to "save elec
tricity—let something else go."
And through tho desire of (his com
pany to serve all within reasonable
limits of its lines, thousands of
homes, offices, stores and factories
are today enjoying the pleasure,
convenience and economy of power,
light and heat, even when It Is ta
ken Into consideration that tbe cost
of exending lines Is many times the
amount of revenue to be derived
over a great period of time.
Truly this la
ThIa special edition would not he
romplete without a message from
of Elkin's most Important fac-
In Us building program- -the
Elkln-Jonesvllle Building & Loan
Association, which has Just opened
its 65th series for stock sut^rip-
tions.
Just as every citizen feels a pride
in the building of tbe new hospital
here, every new home-owner re
joices when the last finishing touch
is made to that new home he has
been enabled to erect through the
help of this association, and which
has made possible a home of bin
own.
This association has enjoyed a
substantial Increase.in the number
of kliareboldert, and In many In
stances It has meant the erection of
new homes by them. An admirable
feature of the association Is the lib
eral terms upon which one • Is per
mitted to carry stock or secure
loans for building. It reaulres
about six and one-halt years to ma
ture stock, and each share ropro-
sents *1.00. which is carrisd by psy-
ment of 25c weekly on each share.
All stock Is non-toxable. whether
paid np or carried as running stock.
Mr. C. O. Armfleld. cashier of the
Elkin National Bank, is secretary
and treasurer of the association,
and will be glad to explain in detali
just how building and loan stock Is
curried on small weekly Inatall-
ments. and Is a most attractive plaa
t saving ^o^ all who wish to ac
cumulate for old age, business In-
vostraencs. or as a place where Ihoy
may invest their surplus nud escape
taxes. In the meantime putting It to
work for other* in building up tho
unity.
