MURRAY, Clerk Superior Court DOTSON. ; PATTON & POINDETER ineys ior xetmoners. r-29 tffl V Fe&r&iion Manager Asks Cooperation of Members Franklin, N. C. December 2( 1925. Dear Shareholder: , By the action of the board of di rectors" I am now manager of the Macon. County Farmers Federation. I want to assure you that I will do all I can to make it the useful organi zation it was intended to be and I want to ask your help and coopera tion.. - ' ' .. The main purpose of this letter; is inform you of the condition "of our organization and to tell you of 'sortie of our plans to help the shareholders and farmers. The following is a list of what we had on December 1, 1925: . , Godds in warehouse at Frank lin ...,...$5618.35 Goods in warehouse at Otto.... 2211.69 Fixtures in warehouse at Franklin .. : 981.65 Fixtures in warehouse at Otto. -16.40 Warehouse at Otto ' 165.00 Notes for goods sold 1416.88 Cash on hand : .1547.33 TOTAL ?11,957.jU The following is what we owed'and was using in 'the business on Decern-b-r 1, 1925: a Note at bank , secured by shareholders notes . $4UJUUJ Due in. market for goods bought J-:- 414.0 Money in use from cash pay ments on shares of stock.... nw.w Undivided profits and divi dends earned before July 7, 1925 :. - 1476.50 ' TOTAL . :..-:.$H,784.12 This shows a difference or gain of $173.18 since July 7, 1925. So" you see that the Macon County 1-armers fed eration is not in the , bad condition that gossipers and enemies of the organization would lead you to be lieve. To assure its continued .sud cess and usefulness it must have the continued support and patronage of the shareholders and farmers of Ma con county: At the present eost.of operating the expenses for a year would be about as follows:, Salary of manager $1200.00 Salary of asst. manager and bookkeeper ............ 1200.0C Salary of asst. manager at Otto 720.0C Rents at Franklin 516.00 Rents, at Otto 150.00 Railway lease on-warehouse site at Otto .. : J 5.00 Insurance on $6,000 worth of . goods - and fixtures 161.00 Telephone, lights" and fuel, (about) ' 118.00 Postage, printing, taxes, dray rage, etc ..:.... 600.00 . Total - (approximate)....:., .'..$4680.40 . From the above you see that the expenses are much- morethan most people would think. ' Counting work-' ink "days-'the average daily expense will run close to .fifteen dollars. To even make expenses we will have to. sell $150.00 worth of goods at profit of ten percent or $300.00 worth at a profit of five-percent. , ; On November 27, 1924, .according to the , auditors report, the previous management had lost $1,188,88 for us. From that date to July 7, 1925, we sold $58,141.04 worth 'of goods or a daily average of $360.00 per day. We made enough to pay back the loss of $1,188.88 and a, profit of $1,476.50 be sides. At the annual shareholders meet ing on November 19, 1925, it was de sided to set aside $540 to pal the 6 per cent divident on the $9,000 worth of stock. - The balance o $936.50 is to be divided among the shareholders in proportion to the amount of busi ness done by each. During the period from November 27, 1924 to July 7 1925, you traded the amount of $r , and you are to'reccive $- of the profits, besides the 6 percent dividend on the stock you hold. With this much trade taken from our competitors, 'you should not be surprised at the propaganda and mis representations broadcast, apparent ly to put the . Macon County ; Farm ers Federation " out of business: If this could be done no doubt you would see the prices of our farm supplies jump backs to the old level. What are YOU going' to DO, about it ? Will you trade at- YOUR store where EVERY cent of profit above expenses goes back to the sharehold ers in " proportion to the amount of business done by each?.' Or will you help our competitors to put us out of business, by trading' with them iind talking against your own or ganization? , t , As your manager, I plan to do ev erything possible -to find a good mar ket for all farm products. Just' as soon as we can get the money to buy a small mill, we plan, to buy corn wheat; oats, rye and cane seed from It is our PLEASURE and your SAVING to let us sell vou and at GREATLY REDUCED prices. In fact they are to you and only charging a the fanners to be grou;fd and mixed for dairy and poultry feeds. Of course we would have to buy some cotton seed .meal-and fish meal from a dis tance. We have the, fattening coops already and plan to start soon to fat tening all poultry that we buy that is not fat, ; ' . So soon, as express shipments can be passed'promptly through Jackson ville,, a man in Florida wants to buy five .hundred head of chickens each week to be killed and shipped. For a while, I plan to write you once each month to tell you what we have done and plan to do. When you are in town, drop in and look things over and ask us questions. Get your information first hand. Do not depend on the gossipers for in formation, it might not be correct. Wrhen you have an ' opportunity ask your.-friends to ,talce a share of stock. We need more capital and he will be more apt to trade with us if he has stock. The more trade we do the cheaper we can sell. Trusting thaf this letter will give you the. information ". that you have been wanting and assuring ou that I am 'here to do all I can to make OUR organization a succe'ss, I am,' Wry truly yours, J..M. RABY, J Manager, Former Macon Citi2en is Press Booster Winston-Salem, N. C. . January 4, 1926. Gentlemen : Permit me to say that I now realize just what I have been missing these last few years. As a former resident of Macon county and one who has a great interest in its new development, I can- see the value of the Press. ', It enables us who are away to know all that is happening back home, and L for one, think that it is the greatest little piece of news" on earth. Your paper is one thing that I always look forward to seeing on Saturday. No week can be too dull but what the Press puts a good feeling in one's system. Put me down as one of the many boosters for the1 Franklin Press. Yours truly, CLYDE MORRISON. Hunnicutt-Crawf ord . .'At midnight, as the old year died and the new year was ushered in 'by the exultant bells, the Methodist church of Franklin was the scene of one of the prettiest and most unusual weddings in its history; that of Miss Mav Hunnicutt " and Mr. Gilmer Crawford. The charm of the always beantiful interior of the church was increased by massed evergreens, among which innumerable candles gleamed. At the first note of the bells, MissNeal Cunningham,' with Miss Mattie Angel at the organsang "O,. Perfect Love," in her rich con tralto vo"ic'e as the last notes died away! the bridal procession entered the church to the strains of Lohen grin March. The ushers and 'grooms were Messrs. Will Moore, Marshall Cunpingham, Jimmie Hauser, George Johnston, Emory Hunnicutt, Allen Siler, Frederick Sloan 'and Russel Cabe formed a background for the bridesmaids who were charmingly gowned, in rainbow of georgette, each one carrying a quaint little muff of the same material trimmed with streamers of silver braid aild sprigs of fern. The rich green gown of the maid of honor, Miss Katherine , Hun nicutt, gave a lovely contrast for the lighter hues of those worn by the bridesmids, Misses Daisy Siler, Sue Hunnicutt, Timoxena Crawford and Virginia Sloan. The bride, lovely in white georgette over satin; with veil and orange btossonms and shower bouquet of roses and lillies of the val ley, entered on the arm of her father Emory Spear Hunnicutt. - Captain H. R.-v Smith of Bingham School, Asheville,' was best man. The ceremony was performed by Rev. S C Reavis,' pastor of the Methodist church,, and Rev. E. J. Pipes, pastor of the Episcopal church. Immediately after the ceremony the young couple left for a wedding 'trip through Western North Carolina, amid the congratulations . and best wishes of many friends. - ' The young couple is very popular in Franklin. Miss -' Hunnicutt v has, lived here for some years.s a teach er in the school and a prominent mem ber of the younger set. ' : " Mr. Crawford is a native of Frank lin and many jn the audience'recalled the wedding of hisi father and moth er at midnight on New Year's eve 24 years ago. ; . . .-v, It is a great pleasure to every one that they have decided Ho- make Franklin their future home, and we look forward to calling at their at tractive new -home "Pine Hill," in West Franklin.
