Holmes All Club
Start Fair Program
October 1926 Dates

The Holmes County All Club and
Farm Fair will be held this year on
Friday and Saturday, October 1926, in
| Lexington. The county board of super
visors have appropriated sufficient
| sum of money to offer liberal prizes for
| all displays in club work and individual
farm exhibits.
An added feature of the fair this year
will be farm booths containing individu-
al exhibits from one farm. This ex-
hibit will be made by adult farmers in
competition with other adults. To COM
pete in this class booth must be the
work of an individual farm family and
contain products grown on their farm
Judging in this contest will consider ar
tistic arrangement, diversity of exhibits
and quality of products.
Another feature of the fair will be a
/ cooperative shipment of hogs belonging
) to pig club members. These hogs are
, to be shipped in the names of the club
members and checks made payable to
them. This shipment will constitute the
first attempt in cooperative shipping
by club members in Holmes county
/ Prize money offered for club booths
will be given to the club instead of to
the school as was done last year. This
money is to be used by the club in pro-
noting their work. Catalogs are being
printed which will be given to all inter-
ested parties.

County School Board
Adopts September 2
Opening of Schools

At meeting of the Holmes County
School Board the date for the openings
of the white schools of the county was
adopted as Monday, September 2, ac-
cording to announcement made by Supt.
P. H. Williams. The negro schools will
be started on Monday, October 7.
The date selected for the white
schools is one week earlier than usually
adopted and seems to meet with the ap-
proval of the patrons of all schools of
the county, especially those that live in
the rural districts. By opening school
one week earlier, should any time be
lost on account of epidemics, or other
unforeseen circumstances, the time can
we'll be made-up on regular school days.
This will also eliminate the necessity of
having to TEACH o. Saturdays as hereto
fore existed.
The change has also been called to the
attention of the school trustees in or
der that they might arrange their scho-
lastlc programs for the session of 1929
1880 as adopted by the school board,
concluded Supt. Williams.

Beall's Feed Mill
Increases Capacity;
Capitalized $4,000

An industry to be located in Lexing-
ton with machinery arriving daily, is
the announcement made by George S.
Beall, Jr., of the Lexington Gin and
Trading Co., who will build and oper-
ate the largest feed mill in this section
of Mississippi. The plant will be To-
Gated in the southern part of the city,
adjoining the holdings of the company.
The annual feed bill of Lexington's
dairymen and farmers exceeded $780,
10000 annually, and was the motive that
prompted the planning of this needed in
dustry locally. In figuring on the pro-
position Mr.. Beall soon realized that the
local demand was only beginning and
outside towns and communities sought
accommodations for their various stock
and dairy feeds, which led to an increas-
ed capacity of the plant and this idea
has been carried out and has grown into
a S25,O0O.OO project. In referring to the
plant under way, Mr.. Beall has the fol-
lowing to state along the line
, when l started to figure on a feed
mill, 1T was my original idea to put in
a small plant with sufficient capacity
to care for home grown feeds; afford a
year round market for farmers feed
crops and give them better and cheap
er balanced ration for their own use.
Realizing that cotton and milk are
the two farm products, with dairying
Improbable unless feeds are grown, a
campaign was started to advocate the
raising of feed and affording an outlet
for the crop with feed mill.
The plant will do two things for the
county. 1t will give us more milk with
more profit; will give the farmer mon
ey for his surplus feed crops, and allow
him to get away from the one-crop sys-
TEN. He will then have feed for horses,
mules, cows, hogs and chickens, all rails
ed by him and mixed at the local plant.
with Investigations revealing that
over quarter of a million dollars was
beng spent for feed annually at Lex
ington, | broadened my view of the pro-
Ject and conferred with large manufac-
turers where l submitted my plans. At

Holmes Will Vote
On $125,0OO Bond
Issue Jr. College

bond issue for the purpose of build
ing and equipping and improving the
Holmes County Agricultural High
School and Junior College, located at
Goodman, has been called for August
70 involving $125,000.00, according to an
order isued by the Board of Supervisors
and announced by the election commits
sioners, B. S. Beall, Jr., Ed Atkinson and
Mrs. Sessions Povall.
There is no greater asset to be had
than for county to have Junior Col
lege, and Holmes county has qualified
along this respect for number of years,
investigation reveals, and the matter
under consideration by the issue of
bonds to further improve and equip its
educational institution is being advo-
Gated and supported by the educational
leaders of the county.
Providing a college where boys and
girls may avail themselves of a 2-yeai
course of work, without the overcrowd
ing and expense generally associated
with colleges of state and private inter.
ests, has made it possible for hundreds
of boys and girls of the state to obtain a
schooling and continuance of studies,
at the junior institution.
Holmes county has one of the leading
Junior colleges of Mississippi and its
superintendent and faculty number in
structors and teachers with college de-
grees, many of them attaining mast
er's qualifications. Growth and con-
tlnued patronage of students is largely
responsible for the additional demands
that have been planned and will be sub
mltted to the voters on Friday, August

President Emilio Portes Gil tonight

discussions with Archbishop LeOpol-
do Rui, who is expected to arrive
here tonight from Washington. and
hoped that way could be found to
end the controversy with the Cath
olic church that has been acute for
three years.
The president declared that he did
not know precisely what proposal
the archbishop would bring for solu-
ton Of the problem but stated en-
phatically that there would be no
change in the existing laws III Mex
leo governing religious activities.
He explained that the archbishop
had sought an interview with him
through the embassy at Washington
and did so as a Mexican citizen and
a prel6te Of the Mexican church. 1t
was understood that he would be
received in this capacity rather than
as an apostolic delegate due to the
fact that Mexico does not maintain
official relations with the vatican.
The archbishop will be received BY
the president probably on Monday.
