John McCuI|en Howard Passes AT Home
Here Monday After Long Illness

In 1886 he opened a large general
store at Howard Station in this
county which is still doing business.
In the same year the Merchants and
Planters Bank. Tchula, was organic
ed and for many years he filled the
office of president. In 1910 the
Planters Gin and Warehouse Com
pany was organized with Mr.. How
ard as president and has been doing
business continuously in Tchula since
that time.
Mr.. Howard was one of the or
ganizers of the Peoples Bank of Du-
rant and was its first vice-president.
He also organized the Durant Dry
Goods Company and successfully
conducted it until 1923 when the
business was sold to employees Of
the store.
In 1911 the firm of Howard and
Beall was organized and that firm
has been one of the outstanding
stores in this community since that
time. Under the name of Towards
the business continues today.
Public Service
This distinguished citizen was not
an office-seeker in the ordinary
sense but he always manifested a
great interest in affairs Of govern
ment, local, statewide and national.
He served as alderman on the city
council in Durant for two terms, first
being elected in 1904 and then re-
elected when his term expired.
Elected to the state legislature
from Holmes county in 1919 MI.
Howard filled the office capably and
was reelected for a second term in
1923.
He was a delegate from Mississip-
pi to the Democratic National Con-
vention held in San Francisco in
1920 which nominated Cox for pre-
sident, and Franklin D. Roosevelt
for vice-president. He was appoint
ed by the convention to the commit
tee from Mississippi to notify Roose-
Welt of his nomination.
Community Loss
Mr.. Howard was universally re-
garded as a splendid gentlc N and
a good business man. He was a lea
der in anything to promote the wei
fare Of this community, county and
state. He will be mourned by a large
host of colored friends as well as his
white friends.
His passing is a distinct loss to
this community which can never be
replaced.

County Agents Go
On Farm Tour
Carson Among Group
To Visit Arkansas
And Louisiunu

The tour on which seventeen Mis-
sissippi county agents took part in
last week extended from Wilmar,
Arkansas, Tuesday morning to Ur-
ania, Louisiana, Thursday afternoon,
during which time forestry manage
ment was studied on property own
ed and operated by three private
concerns and three federal expert
ment stations.
The Ozark-Bader Lumber Com
pany at Wilmar, Arkansas, has been
in business sixteen years and they
do not own a single acre of what we
call cut over land. In the last ten
years this company has done selcc-
tive cutting every five years and at
present they have 80 per cent as
much timber on the land as when
they made their first cutting.
Mr.. Pomeroy, Manager, told US
that one of the most profitable parts
of their business came from the far
mers in their territory. He said
that his company made verbal con-
tracts with the farmers to handle
their timber under a management
plan. About the only thing that the
lumber company and the farmer has
to agree upon is the price at the
time the logs are cut.
The interesting part of this mana
cement program is that the land is
continuously growing timber. No
timber is SEVER cut for saw logs that
is less than 10" in diameter on the
scale and of the log. When the
stand of timber is too thick and it
becomes necessary to thin, a few of
the small trees are cut for pulp
wood. This company averages one
pole for piling to the acre every
two years.
In other words, this company
takes the timber out of the fores.
as fast as it is ready for the mar
ket, provided the price justifies,
keeping in mind at all times the max
imum yield of good tres.
