Tchula Gin Co. Has
Finest Plant In State

T. ]. Sweet, superintendent of the
Tchula Gin Co., of Tchula, one of the
finest gin plants in the state of Mis-
sissippi, is announcing to the public this
week, that they are now better prepared
to handle your ginning.
The new gin is the latest model Mur-
ray air-blast electric gin, and owing to
its mechanical perfection, there is no
danger of plating bale with the one
ginned ahead of you. This not only
protects the customer but gives full
weight, with better sample and turn
out.
Another feature of the equipment in
stalled is the Hancock picker and
cleanser that cares for each bale with
clean cotton.
Mr.. Sweet has also arranged with one
Of the large insurance companies to
insure each bale of cotton from the
moment it enters the premises until it
leaves their yards, eliminating any pos
sibility of loss and all without addi-
tional cost to the customer.
An electric weigh-o-graph operated
with a lotion truck and trailer scales
allows the largest vehicle to be auto.
matically weighed and cared for with
out any delay.
Ample shed rooms are being built to
care for the waiting line of wagons and
trucks, and with capacity Of 100 bales
a day, the new gin offers every faci-
|lity for service to its patrons.
Mr.. Sweet has employed a factory
trained operator to handle the gin which
insures service of the highest class and
enables the Tchula Gin Co. to offer the
utmost in values without any additional
cost to the customer.
The Tchula Gin Co., also buys cotton
seed and offers the highest market
prices.
No factor has been overlooked, states
Mr.. Sweet, in presenting his modern
plant for the greatest benefit to the
public.

teachers work.
The State Accrediting Commission has
laid down some very strict regulations
regarding accredited work done in high
schools. These regulations, seemingly,
have materially affected some of the
smaller schools of the county. It must
be remembered that the idea of the
Mississippi educational system today is
to organize and run the schools on the
county unit basis. To help bring this
about these strict regulations have been
framed and adopted.
The prospects are bright indeed for
the school system of Holmes county, and
for one of the most successful years in
the history of our school system.
