The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1906-11-21
A MEETING CALLED.
Pres. Summers issues a Stirring Ad.
dress Farmers Should Demand
Il Cents for Their
Cotton.

To the Farmers of Lincoln Coun-
ty. and especially to Members
Of the Cotton Growers Assocla-
ton:
Cotton has gone below the
"meat and bread'' line. Last
January one year ago cotton was
Nnoted in New Orleans at 81 to s
cents. Three thousand resolute
and determined farmers met in
Artillery Hall and declared that
ten cents should be the minimum
price for the remainder of the un-
sold cotton. July the 10th of
that year cotton sold In Brook
haven for ten cents and better,
and this in the face of bumper
crop. Now with a crop of less
perhaps than twelve million bales
are we willing to remain silent
and see the speculator force the
price still further down. ] DO
not believe the Southern cotton
grower should remain silent and
be robbed of the fruits of his
labor. There is no justification
whatever in a price less than elev-
en- cents. 10 accomplish this
there must be concert of action,
and that can best be obtained by
an adherence to the Cotton Asso-
citation. In order to accomplish
desired results we must prove our
faith by our works. Lincoln
county's pro rata share of the ex-
penses of maintaining the South
ern Cotton Growers Association
amounts to 5000. Lincoln coun-
ty's loss on cotton, if we do not
stand to our guns, will amount to
thousands of dollars. I, there
fore, as president of the Lincoln
County Gotten Growers Associa-
tion, call a meeting of the associa-
tion for the first Friday of De-
cember, the 7th day, on which
date competent speakers will be
invited to address the meeting.
Farmers, we fought winning
fight in the beginning. Time and
again has the enemy been driven
to cover, and it now rests with us
whether we will maintain the bat
tie or content ourselves with only
the fruits of victory.
Let every farmer and business,
man of Lincoln county interested
In fair price for our products,
meet with us on that day and re-
new the battle with increased Yig-
or. Win we must and win we
will, if we will but do our duty.
A. M. SUMMERS,
President.

pTHERANS Of OAKLAND
WILL BUILD NEW CHURCH
Many Obstacles Overcome and Modern
House of Worship viii Be Erected.
CONTRACT PRICE is S8.5OO.00.

VIII Occupy a Beautiful Lot on
Second Street Bought for the
Purpose

Unless unforeseen and purely unavoid-
able circumstances arise, the Lutherans
Of Oakland will be comfortably housed
in a new and modern church edifice by
September 30th of the preseut year, a
contract for the erection of the building
having been let by the building COM
mittee on last Thursday evening,
1t will be remembered that the con-
gregation owned and occupied a very
handsome church at the corner of Alder
and Third streets for q number of years
prior to January, 1905, when the build
ing was destroyed by fire, which origi-
mated in the Pritchard building adioin-
ing, communicating to the church in a
remarkably short time, Notwithstanding
the almost superhuman efforts made by
the citizens of Oakland to save it. An
other circumstance connected with the
burning of the church was the fact that
the congregation had been struggling
with heavy debt for years and sue
ceeded in paying it off just the week
prior to the fire. On the building was
insurance to the amount Of $500, which
was paid.
An offer for the purchase Of the lot
formerly occupied by the churdh was
made the officials Of the congregation
and the land was sold fora good price.
With the money thus secured the Corri-
gan property, lying opposite, was
bought as site for the new church,
but the county desiring this property
for new buildings it was sold at an ad-
vance of $500. These sales, in addition
to the insurance collected. gave the
aggregation about $1,000 in cash with
Z oh to purchase another site and
erect the building.
At congregational meeting held ear
ly last spring the McComas lot on Sec
ond street, adjoining the Browning
hotel, was purchased for 5000, thus
leaving about So, 100 in hhc treasury for
the erection of the building, which sum
has been increased slightly since.
Following the purchase of the Nc
Comas lot building committee com
posed of DR., M, c. Hinebaugh, Messrs.
Daniel limbaugh, NJ. R. Hamili, James
A. Sincell, Lloyd Lantz and Benz. II.
Sincell, with Rev. E. Manages a member

architect and secure plans for the pro-
posed church. The committee acting

and invited bids for the erection of the
building, but the prices submitted bv
bidders were considered too high and
the matter rested until last week when
Mr.. W. A, Iiller, Of Keyser, made a
proposition to the committee to erect
the church according to the plans adopt
ed for the sum of So, 500 which was ac-
cepted, work to begin on the building
as soon as some minor details can be
arranged, which will be within the next
ten days. Mr.. Liller has agreed to
have the building completed by Septem-
Der 18th, and it is hoped by the congre-
cation that it can be dedicated tie latter
part Of that month.
The church will be Of gray brick and
stone, 40x6S feet, with basement
which will be used as an assembly or
Sunday school room, kitchen, furnace
and fuel rooms and a storage room.
The auditorium is we'll arranged and
will have capacity, with the balconies,
Of about $50 persons. On this floor the
pastor study will be located also and
provision is made for the installation of
a massive pipe organ.
In view Of the fact that they will soon
have a place of worship of their own
the Lutherans are extremely happy, but
nevertheless feel that they are under
to the Presbyterians for the
use of their church for so many months.
