Illinois Central viii
Observe Centennial

The centennial of the Illinois
Central Railroad in 1851 will be
introduced by the publication of
a history of the railroad, accord
ing to an announcement today
by Illinois Central President
Wayne A. johnson. The manu-
script for the book, <'Main Line

by Creative Age Press, New

Mr.. Corliss spent more than 20

gineering Department and on the

ment his Illinois Central expert
ence, he was on leave of absence
from the Association of American

search which went into writing

The corporate records Of the
Illinois Central from 1851 to
1906, which were deposited with
the Newberry Library at Chicago
in 1914 to be made available to
students of business history, were
thoroughly combed by Mr.. Cor
liss. In addition his investigation

Concerts Planned
For Current Year

An annual concert series pre-
senting the worlds distinguished
artists in Holmes County is no
longer a dream! The Lexington
Municipal Concert Association
has been organized for the sole
purpose of bringing renowned
concert attractions to the COM
munity and thus charging the
county's entertainment, cultural,
and social life. A membership
goal of 500 ha been set. Last year
there were $50 members.
The Municipal Concert Associa-
ton is entirely non-profit and
cooperative. Membership privi-
leges are open to everyone-adults
and children alike. A membership
campaign week will soon be an
nounced and during that week
the entire citixenry will be in
vited to join the association. BY
paying the annual dues, each
member will be entitled to at
tend all the concert presentations
without further admission
charge. There will be no single
admissions sold for any indivi-
dual concert.
Lexington now becomes affili-
ated with other MUNICIPALITIES
throughout the nation operating
on this same municipal plan
presenting outstanding and top
flight concert attractions locally.
AT least three concerts will be
presented during the season, and
as many more as the associations
budget makes possible. Inasmuch
as the Lexington Municipal Con-
cert Association is one hundred
per cent cooperative, the more
members in the association the
larger the budget, and therefore
the greater number of concerts
possible. No additional assess
ments will be made on the men,
bers Funds accumulated from
membership dues will be used
solely in the presentation of ar
lists selected by the local asso-
cations talent committee. The
programs presented will be de-
signed to please the varied must
cal tastes of the local audiences.
The number of memberships in
the association will, of necessity,
be limited to the seating capa-
city of the Grammar School au-
ditorimn, and memberships will
be available only during the one
campaign week. At the conclu-
sion of the designated week, the
membership rolls of the associa-
ton will be closed for the sea-
son. Everyone, therefore. is urged
to watch for the announcement
of the campaign week, and all
are advised to secure their men,
berships then without delay.

perry the landowner usually fl
cures the income from his timber
land is at an end. This is far
from true, the forester said. for
the pune treetops can be made
into pulpwood.
Local pulpwood cutters are
paying $1.50 10 200 a unit stump.

tops will produce two units De,

The treetops must be cut in.

officials to put their problems
and their services before the
