A SON INTERESTED IN HIS DADDY'S VENTURES
JOSEPH P. SMITH of Jackson, Miss., who is undertaking the development of 73,000 acres of land recently bought in Hyde County at a cost of two and a half million dollars. When Mr. Smith came to Engelhard, one of his sons, Conrad age 12, came with him to watch what's going on. The young man, shown in this picture with his daddy, has gone home to enter school, but while at Engelhard, had the time of his life going into the dense forest with its big trees. An account of this venture was published last week. If the farm development planned by this new company is successful, there will be a great gain in population at Engelhard.
