New Garage Nearing Completion.

The new garage of C. M. Akes is rapidly nearing completion. The workmen are now putting in the concrete floors in the basement, the room is all on and the front will be in within a few days. It is going to be the finest garage in this part of the state and Charley is figuring on having a big opening as soon as the garage is completed so that he can show the several lines of cars which he will carry in stock.

And, on the next column: Harve McDaniel, who was working on C. M. Akes' new garage, was called to his home southwest of Decatur City Tuesday, on account of his little daughter, Thelma, 8 years of age, falling and being severly hurt while at play.
