On Tuesday, August 17, the W.C. Griffith Gin at Hanceville had the privilege of processing Cullman County’s first bale of cotton for this season. The cotton was grown by A.R. Russell on

D.D. Price’s farm on Warrior, Route One. Mr. Clark Griffith states this is the earliest bale to be ginned in the past 17 years. It’s a week earlier than last year.

The county will permit traffic on the new concrete bridge over Tedder Creek on the Hanceville, Arkadelphia Road. They expect to have this project completed next week, according to Mr. Rube Aldredge.
