Serial Bond Issue OF
100000 Approved
For Holmes Jr. Gym
Sole Of County Bonds
To Begin November 6

The Board of Supervisors of
Holmes county has set November
6 as the date for the issuance OF
$780, 900 serial bonds for the pur-
pose of constructing and equipp-
ing a gymnasium and improving
existing buildings for the Holmes
County Agricultural High School
and Junior College at Goodman.
The resolution of the board was
adopted after receiving a state
ment from the Board of Trustees
of the school that it has no suit
able building for a gymnasium and
that it is necessary that one should
be built and that some of the
school buildings be repaired at an
estimated cost of 100000. Since
| the institution has no money with
| which to do this work it appears
necessary that bonds of the coun-
ty be issued and sold.
The bonds will be in denomina-
tons of $1,000 each and the In
terest will be payable seminar
nually. They will be dated Nc
F! vemher l, 1850, and will mature
in sums of $4,000 from 1885,
through 1861.
