wood used in articles of fine
craftsmanship. It also had curv-
ed Windshields.
Little of its early history IS
known until the hearse was
brought to Charlotte county in
1881. Listed originally as a
utility express which means
it was classed as a truck. it
was first sold to someone in
West Virginia
The present purchasers of the
hearse are uncertain Of its flu
ture, but they are fascinated by
their new possession. Duffer, a
funeral director, knows it was
probably used in his profession
before he was born. and Yaple S
hobby is highway safety. He has
a collection of 30-odd model
cars of all makes and ages. but
the hearse is his largest acqui-
Sition to date.
With only a few hours work.
the car could be put in running
condition once more. A good bit
more time and money could be
expended Oh the old relic and
they are sure, it could be trans
formed from "a pile Of junk
into a valuable antique automo-
billet

to pay
IS million

Holmes County's share of
the presidents proposed SoS.S
billion federal spending bud
ges for fiscal 1864 would a
mount to 3,S4l,0 900, the Mis-
,lsslppi Economic Council
estimates.
The MEG said it arrived at
the county's share of the pro-
posed budget by applying an
economic index showing this
county pays 81 per cent OF
state spending, to the amount
Mississippi will be called upon
to pay. The state is estimated
to pay 0-48 per cent of all
federal spending. This figure
applied to the total federal
budget proposal shows Missls-
sippians would pay STA ,24o,-
600 of the proposed federal
total.
"This is the highest "a
mount this county or our
state has ever been called
upon to pay into the feder-
al government, in war or In
peacetime,' the MEG said.
''Our state is often cited as
one of the poorer states,
vet this shows how heavy
federal spending affects our
ro"ketbOOks.
"In announcing these tlg-
ures, the MEG is not attempt
ing to weigh the merits or de-
merits of spending proposals.
However, when the share OF
federal spending is added to
state, county and local spend
ing proposals, it is easy to see
the taxpayer is being bur-
