ers' Union warehouse, end. at a meet
ing of the Chamber of Commerce yes-
terday, a committee was appointed to
secure subscriptions for the purchase
OF the site selected. The site is on
Sixth Street, running from Noble Street

extending across what would be an ex-
tension of Gurnee and Moore Avenues.
It is the property of ttse Admission City

$4,000. The site was selected by a
committee from the warehouse COM
mittee OF the Farmers Union. and It
is their purpose to erect the Farm
ers' Union warehouse for Calhoun Coun-
ty on the property. AN organization
has already been perfected for the
erecting and conducting of the ware
house.
For the Chamber of Commerce. L.
H. Kaplan and James Keith were ap-
pointed to secure subscriptions and
buy the site for me warehouse. The
site on Sixth Street, 1t Is claimed, Is
admirably suited for a warehouse, and
in addition, q wagon yard can be Sc
cured on lands that are not occupied
which are in close proximity to the site
SO that the farmers can have the use
of a wagon yard when they bring in
their cotton and other produce. The
present wagon yards are being util-
lied for buildings very rapidly and
very soon the farmers will have to
seek other quarters for their teams.
