The officers of the Sterling Cotton
Hills - are S. 0. Venn, oresident and
treasurer, and A. H. Vann, secretary.
The project which lead up to the organisation
ef this company was the establishment
of a cotten mill in Fraaklinton
a proposition earnestly advocated
and substantially promoted by S. C.
Vann, as a result of which a building
-was erected and operations begun in
1865. Sinoe that year the capacity has
been increased three-bid by the construction
of additional buildings and
the installation of the required machinery,
and the original pay roll of earJj,
