We cannot praise too highly the sales
division of the Noxubee County Liberty
Loan organization. It has proved it's
patriotism. Mr.. w. M. Lamberson
was the efficient and patriotic sales d.
rector for the county, and for each Of
tae three natural divisions of the coun-
ty there was, under the county sales
director, district sales director, who
appointed for service under himself a
committee of most effective statesmen.
Mr., G. W. Cunningham was director of
sales for Brooksville and territory; Mr..
J. L. Klaus for Macen and territory,
and Mr.. M. L. Paterson for Shuqualak
and Territory. The county and district
directors Of the sales division, with
the sales committees which were ap-
pointed throughout the county cannot
be surpassed in any county Of the Eighth
Federal Reserve district. / congratu-
late them and their committees upon the
splendid and enthusiastic services which
, they have rendered our government,
and congratulate our great county up
on the possession Of such men who can
SC truly represent It's resources, char.
