man, as bookkeeper in Miss Mon

through the timely action Of our Re-

now permanent.
Many Negro citizens who received
aid from the county and Federal Re

have their relief orders drawn on

this community, but have been den

titled TO receive their share of these

results. The colored merchants are
now receiving their share of orders
from the Sailors and Soldiers relief
