To the Voters of Holmes County:

To the Voters of Holmes County:
/ desire to announce to you my
candidacy for reelection to the off
ice Of Representative to the State
Legislature from Holmes County,
subject to the action of the Demo-
cratic primaries to be held this year.
While serving as your Represent
alive / have endeavored to make
you faithful and efficient officer.
The most important work any re-
preventative performs, is work on
committees. / have been fortunate
in my committee assignments. For
the past eight years, l have been a
member of the Ways and Means
Committee. This is one of the most
important committees in the House,
as all revenue bills must come be-
fore it. I believe this committee,
during the past four years, saved
the tax payers of the State many
thousands of dollars.
With the experience have gained,
while serving as your representative
and with the friends l have made
among the other representatives,
many of whom will doubtlessly be
returned for another term, believe,
if reelected, can be more useful
representative during the next four
years.
My record is before you. If have
made you an efficient and courag-
eous officer, l ask that you elect me
again as one of your representatives
and if l am reelected, I assure you
| will continue to represent your in
terests to the best of my ability.

THROUGH
HAZEL
EYES
by Hazel Brannon

The annual membership drive of
the Holmes County Farm Bureau Is
now underway for l947.
In a recent meeting of the Board
of Directors plans were made TO
acquaint the people of Holmes CO.
unity with the work the Farm Blu
reau in the state and nation have
accomplished and the detectives
that have been set for the future.
We invite the attention of our
readers to page two of this paper
which shows real record of ac-
compIishments for all the farmers
of Holmes county and the state as
well as a number of goals which
have been set for the future pro-
gram.
All Holmes county farmers and
business men and women interested
in getting and maintaining a better
life for Mississippi's farm families
and thus elevating the standard OF
living for the entire community and
state are urged to become members
Of the Holmes County Farm Bureau.
Only by united action through
organizations like the Farm Bureau
can the voice of the individual
farmer be heard by Congress
which is all-powerful when it
comes to enacting legislation which
vitality affects not only every man,
woman and child on the farms of
Mississippi but every man, woman
and child in every agricultural town
in the state. and that means pract-
ically every town and city in the
state of Mississippi.
Holmes county citizens have again
generously answered the call Of a
worthy cause the March Of
Dimes has gone over the top.
Over $4,000. has already been
turned in to county headquarters
and the final figure will probably
exceed $4,000. While no formal
quota was given the county, it was
understood Holmes county was ex-
pected to contribute around $2,40O.
which has already been done.
This represents the largest amount
ever raised in the drive to aid
victims Of infantile paralysis in Hol-
mes county. The national quota has
been greatly increased to take care
of the needs Of the increased number
of cases of polio throughout the nat
ion.
Mississippi has had the largest
number OF cases on record in its
history during the past year. We had
two cases in Holmes county.
1t is reassuring to know that we
have done what was expected from
us in the March of Dimes -. it is
good to know there is National
Foundation which may and will be
called upon in the event of wide
spread outbreak Of polio :. wonder
full to know that children of Miss
issippi. white and black, are pro-
tected and will be given proper care
If we do have an outbreak of polio
Mrs. Jack Reid, the former Ruth
Margaret Fincher, and her commun-
ity chairmen throughout the county
have done splendid job and de-
serve the sincere praise they are
being given for task well done.

Accomplishments Are
Noted; Detectives
Set For Future

The 1947 membership drive for
Farm Bureau members is well un-
derway in Holmes county.
County Agent w. r. Sullivan
says. 1--WE know that the Farm Bu-
reau has been valuable in bringing
about better prices and helping to
raise the standard of living for
farmers. In the past the Farm Bu-
reau has been functional and bene-
fetal to the farm people of Mississ-
ippi mostly through legislative work
from the state and national level.
In addition to this service rendered,
IL seems from now out that the Farm
Bureau will be more active and rem
der a greater service to farmers than
it has rendered in the past"
1t is the plan of the directors of
the Holmes County Form Bureau
10 hire q man to CORY on educational
work in the county and promote
projects that will be of vulue to
every funilY living in Holmes CO.
unity.
The Farm Bureau has recently
organized the Southern Farm Bu-
reau Life Insurance Company for its
members. The savings in premiums
alone will more than pay the men,
bership fee, Mr.. Sullivan said. After
hearing the discussion of Owen
Cooper, State Farm Bureau worker
and Mr. Meir, head of the Southern
Farm Bureau Insurance Company,
we are convinced that the Farm
Bureau is in position to render
real service to the farm people over
the entire United States, he said.
