By Tuesday OF this week over
10000 in ~prefeErad stock in the
Holmes County Grain Elevator had
been sold to farmers and business
men in the area, which is over half
the amount stockholders hope to
raise to put the elevator in better
financial position.
Peyton Jones, president of the
corporation, said he is optimistic
about the stock selling drive, and
he again stressed the Importance of
missing the money in order that the
Elevator car be operated profitably
with this additional operating capt.
tai. Mr.. Jones said the Elevator,
along with the Feed Mill, is a ne
cessity for farmers in the area, and
a big asset to the county and to
Lexington. Last year almost $170,-
600 worth of grain was purchased
from farmers in the area, and
most of this money was put into
circulation here. The feed mill was
added to the operation last year
with an additional $500 raised by
selling Certificates of Indebtedness
stock.
An emergency meeting of the
stockholders was. held Monday a
week ago to discuss a new stock
selling drive for much needed oper-
ating capital. Over 5 5000 was raised
or pledged that night.
Mr.. Jones appointed an 11-man
committee to contact people and
to sell stock. The committee is
composed of Eph Cohen, o. L.
Ellison, w. r. Sullivan, w. E.
Thurmond. Herman Flowers, Joe
Holmes County herald., 1959-07-23

Simmons, editor of the Citizens

Jackson Council leaders were in
troduced: Lewis Hollis, who is the
superintendent of one of the Iarg-
est Sunday School classes in Jack
son, talked on religious aspects the
Council is doing and Bill Faulkner,
president of the Jackson Citizens
Council, gave an interesting talk
on the work the Council is carrying
on in our Capitol city.
An informal question and answer
round table discussion took place
after the speaking.
An intensive membership drive
will get underway in the Good
man area in the near future by
the Council.
