Holmes County Shivers
Under Two Inch Snow

Holmes county shivered under a
blanket of snow estimated to be
about two to three inches as the
weather took a hasty dip and fell to
a low of about 10 degrees above
zero Saturday.
The snowfall, heaviest in the coun-
ty in several years, was preceded by
an icy blast and sleet and stuck to
the ground and roads making walk
ing and driving a hazard. Traffic
was slowed down to a snail's pace
and careful driving on the motorists
part kept accidents down to a mini
mum.
The snow and ice for the most
part had melted away by Tuesday
morning as the temperature rose
well above freezing.
Plumbers and repairmen had their
hands full as calls came in reporting
frozen and bursted water pipes. Mis-
sissippi Power and Light Company
reports no trouble with electric lines
weighed down as very little sleet
fell and ice was slow to form on the
wires. The natural gas distribution
held up well with no complaints
from consumers about low pressure
School was not interrupted as the
snow and ice came after classes were
dismissed Friday and had melted
sufficiently Monday to allow school
buses to operate without danger.

Whereas, Brother Madison Flowers

more than 10 years, faithfully and
d~evotedly with an earnest and sacra-
fetal spirit, and we believe his
works will continue to bear fruit to
Gods glory for many years to come.
And Whereas, Brother Flowers
has seen fit to ask the church not to
consider him further as pastor, it be-
ing his desire to retire from the
Pustorate.
Therefore, be it resolved, by the
Goodman Baptist Church in confer
ence, that we extend to Brother
Flowers u sincere regrets that mat
tiers beyond u control have pro-
NOTED this desire, and we extend to
him u sincere appreciation for the
devotion and earnestness with which
he has served this church; that we
commend his amiable conduct; his
unfeigned piety to God and his fl
deity to his faith and trust in God.
That while we realize his presence
among us will be greatly missed, we
feel and covet, that we shall continue
to be objects of his ~intercession to
God, and feel that our strength shall
be renewed thereby.
To his good wife, Mrs. Flowers, we
commend for her zeal and devotion
to Gods cause, and we shall pray
Gods richest blessings on each of
| you. and know that you shall be
working in Gods Vineyard wherever
you may be.

More Fines Collected

We collected $5,773.O0 in fines dur
ing 1947, Mr.. Glover said, which is
twice as much as we've ever collect
ed before. He and Mayor Weathers-
by attributed about half of this to
the fact that the city bought a police
a and put it into operation patrol
ling the streets, etc.
The city has averaged around ST.
900 or $4,000 a year in fines for
drunken driving, etc. since a High
way Patrolman has been stationed
here, Mayor-Rotarian Weathersby
said in an informal open forum
which followed Mr.. Glover's interest
ing address. 1t is also planned to
purchase a two-way radio service
for the patrol car in the near future,
he said.
The police car cost around $1400.
and has already paid for itself, offic-
ials claimed.
