Whitfield National Farm Loan \ Association Is Formally Organized Here CRAYTON WILLIAMS IS MADE PRESIDENT Those Desiring Federal Farm Loans Should Consult Secretary, J. J. Copeland, at Bank of Dalton —Committees are Selected The Whitfield National Farm Loan Association was organized at a meet ing of farmers Saturday at Cohutta, the association starting with a mem bership of twenty. The following offi cers were elected: Crayton Williams, president; J. C. Boyd, vice president; J. J. Copeland, secretary-treasurer; T. J. Cooper, Mark Williams, S. H. Wil son, G. R. Shields and W. W. Seaton, directors; W. W. Seaton, G. M. Tatum, R. O. Kimsey, loan committee. At present, the membership of the association is confined almost solely to the Cohutta section; but it will be made countrywide, and when this is done, each section will be given recog nition on the committees. At the meeting in Cohutta, others wanted to join; but owing to the fact that only twenty application blanks were secured, it was impossible to ac commodate all, and additional blanks have been ordered. Any farmer in the county desiring a loan from the government can take membership in the association, there being no cost to memberships. If a man has clear title to his property and the loan committee passes favor ably on his application, he can borrow money from the government at the rate of 6 per cent. The loans are made for not less than five years or more than 40 years, and the payments on the loans are such that a part of the prin cipal is retired at each payment. All applications for loans should be made to the secretary-treasurer, Mr. J. J. Copeland, cashier of The Bank of Dalton. Already there are many applications, and it is probable the farmers will borrow several hundred thousand dollars from the government to tide them over. The organization will prove of ma terial help not only to the farmers but to the section as a whole, for it will bring in additional money to be put in circulation, and it will relieve the banks, giving them additional funds to put into business channels. Any farmer desiring information rel ative to the association can obtain same by seeing Mr. Copeland at The Bank of Dalton.

His little daughter favord the crowd with sev eral selections. Instead of diminishing, interest in these union singings continues to in crease, and the fourth meeting will be held the first Sunday afternoon in May.
