Local Men Report
On Washington Trip
Effort Being Made
To Secure Comp
For Holmes County

J. L. Longinotti, Durant, and Joe
Latham, Lexington, returned this
week from several days visit in
Washington. DC, where they went
in the interest of securing for
Holmes county an army training
camp or center.
While no definite commitment
was made by Washington officials,
according to the two local gentle
men, they did receive good recep-
tions and are very hopeful of Hol-
mes County's chance to get such a
camp.
It is to be understood, however,
by local citizens that the picture in
Washington is likely to change any
moment or overnight and it is not
the purpose of these two gentlemen
or of his paper to raise the hopes
of our citizens too high in this re-
spect.
Everything that can be done by
Holmes officials and citizens is being
done to promote a training center
for this section. +.
Other Mississippi cities are work
ing on securing such camps, includ-
ing Tupelo, it is understood.
Mr.. Longinotti also had the plea
sure of visiting his son, Malcolm, who
is a midshipman at Annapolis.
