Meeting Called
A cnlled meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce was held Tuesday
right at the City Hall 'for the pur
pose of inaugurating a movement
to provide ways and means for the
erection of a peanut factory at
Williamston. The extremely rainy
weather kept many of the citizens
from attending, and so the number
present was smaller than had been
I expected. However, everybody
; fTisent concurred in the opinion
: ihat time was a pressing ived for
| such n riant, and that with theaid
of tbe farmers thtro should be no
[reason whv a sufficient amount of
money could not be raised for the
erection r.nd equipment of an up-to
| date plant.
As stated above, the bad weather
I preventing the gathering of as large
! a number as desired, it was decided
that it was best not to take any ac
tion at themeeting. But on motion
it was ordered that a call be made
for the farmers to meet with us on
Wednesday, February 26th., in the
City Hall at 1:30 o'clock p. m.

is requested to tell h s neighbor
about it, and to come and bring his

will mean much to the planters of
peanuts in Martin Countv.
