BOARD OF TRADE
OFFICIALS
OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
ELECTED FOLLOWING SPLEN
DID REPORTS FOR PAST YEAR.
The annual meeting of the Lamar
! County Board of Trade was held in
| the City Hall Monday afternoon,
!
,
when an interesting report of the
year’s work was made by president
W. B. Smith. The report showed
that the organization had done a
fine’work and it was the unanimous
opinion of all present that the or
ganization should be kept alive.
A number of important matters
were considered and acted upon.
The dues were reduced to $4.00 a
year. This sum was deemed advis
able because it appeared to be ac
cepted as a fact that there would not
be a regularly employed secretary
manager at a large salary. The hope
was expressed that many citizens
throughout Lamar county would be
come members on this basis, as it is
felt that the organization can be
made very useful and helpful to the
general interests of the county. A
regular office will be kept open and
Mr. D. L. Anderson was unanimously
elected the secretary-manager to be
in charge of the office. He is well
qualified for the position and is
deeply interested in the welfare of
the county and he will be found
ready at all times to give proper at
tention to any matter which may
come up.
The following officers and direc
tors were elected: President, W. B.
Smith; Vice Presidents, W. H. Phina
zee, J. B. Fleming, J. A. Sappington,
J. C. Martin and J. W. Elliott; Secre
tary, W. T. Summers; Treasurer, E.
Langford; the other directors are B.
M. Turner, E. G. Horne, P. W. Eth
ridge, W. M. Warren, B. H. Hardy,
A. H. Chappel, J. E. Bush, E. L.
Coleman, J. J. Darden. President
Smith will announce all the commit
tees at an early date. Judging by
the views expressed by all those
present at the meeting Monday the
Lamar County Board of Trade will
be a very active and useful organi
zation. Every citizen of the coun
ty is invited to become a member.
At the meeting Monday a resolu
ntion was passed strongly commend
ing Mr. W .C. Adams, County Dem
onstration Agent, and Mr. E. P.
Drexel, Vocational Hog Expert, for
the splendid work they had done in
the county this year, and asking
those in authority to continue then
services for next year.

friends have been much alarmed
about her condition.
Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Collier, her
parents, and Dr. J. M. Rogers, the
family physician of this city, have
been constantly with her, doing
everything that it was possible to do
for her. In the great anxiety which
has attended them the members of
the family have had the deepest
sympathy of the people of the en
tire community.
