CORDOVA HAPPENINGS
(By Vim)
Transcribed from The Mountain Eagle Jasper, Walker County, Alabama, Wednesday, February 11, 1920
Cordova has had the privilege of welcoming a rather large number of brides and grooms the last few months than usual. The latest to take up a residence among us are Hillary Nelson and Miss Hethie Shores who were married at the residence of the bride’s aunt, Mrs. Malone, in Birmingham last Wednesday. The bride formerly lived in Jasper but has been in Sipsey for more than a year. Hillary is a product of Cordova, much loved by his wide circle of friends. They are house keeping at the residence of Mr. Frank Nelson. Their many friends wish for this popular couple a happy life.

G. S. ELLIOTT ADVISES BUILDING REGARDLESS OF HIGH PRICES
G. S. Elliott’s light and power magnate was in Jasper last Monday, where he was summoned as a juror.
Mr. Elliott is known as a business man of unusual sagacity, and he is possessed of a keen vision when it is a question of Cordova’s future. He has recently erected a handsome modern cottage in Cordova for one of his employees. Great care was used in the selection of materials, and of course the cost of erection was a heavy item. But in spite of these factors, before the cottage was completed, Mr. Elliott says he could have sold it for cash at a profit of over $700. Under such conditions Mr Elliott says he cannot understand why every man who owns a piece of real estate in the different towns of Walker county does not build at least one dwelling. He would find a ready sale at a big profit.
