Holmes Citizens Are
Asked To Aid
Old Mems Home
$1,590.OO Needed To
Aid Building Fund;
w. R. Ellis Chuirmun

Holmes county citizens are being
asked to donate $1,590.O0 to the
building fund for new Old Mems
Home in Jackson to replace the
structure destroyed by fire few

w. R. Ellis, Lexington, has been
named chairman of the committee

We invite your attention to the fol-
lowing statement regarding the mat
ter:
To the People Of Holmes County:
You have all doubtless noticed
through the press that the Old Mems
Home located near Jackson, Miss,
was totally destroyed by fire some
weeks ago. This left these old fell
lows in a most pitiful situation and
they are now being domiciled tenn
porarily in places they can find
available. The Old Mems Home, as
you know, is not state institution,
but depends entirely on contribu-
tions from the people of Mississippi
for its maintenance and support.
There is now movement on foot
in the state to raise $100,000.00 as a
free contribution from its citizens to
erect a suitable building to replace
the one burned so these old men can
be adequately cared for in their last
years.
The citizens of Holmes County
have been requested to raise $1,59O.-
90 to help with this worthy cause.
There will be a committee appoint
ed in each community to solicit
funds. We are appealing to you to
make your contributions as liberal
as possible. You can feel assured
that they will be used solely Tor
making things as comfortable as
possible for these men in their re-
clining years. If you so desire, you
NAV mail your contributions direct
to Mr.. w. R. Ellis, County Chairman
and not wait for the committee 10
,all. as the need is urgent.
