Community Club
 m FIeener TOlUnskip

Following the splendid example set by Rondo, Gill and Moro, the people in the Salem community held a meeting last Wednesday night and laid plans for a community club which bids fair to be great factor in the upbuilding of that part of Lee county. The attendance was not unusually large but the lack of numbers was more than offset by the splendid interest manifested. In spite of the fact that the roads were bad and some of the bridges were floating, the meeting was a sue cess. Chas. Mckee, president of the Lee County National Bank, was the principle speaker, while short talks were also made by A. l.. Jones, E. B. Whitaker and others.
 While the farmers in this section are not the largest land owners in Lee county, they certainly are in- terested in better methods of doing things. They are good farmers, good citizens and know how to en- certain visitor as well as any peo- pie in the state. They are very much interested in cooperative sell ing of livestock and no doubt this section in years to come will be the best livestock part of the county.
