x? ■ Chamber of Commerce
Friday night met in their first
session at the Chamber of
Commerce room Monday night,
the meeting was marked for
the enthusiasm manifested by
those present. Optimistic
: speeches and remarks were
I made by everyone present,
! thel general sentiment being to
make Winnsboro and the sur-
rounding country a better place
m which to live. The farming
interest of this trade territory
was discussed at some length.
It was the concensus of opin-
ion that more co-operation ant
assistance toward better anr
more profitable farming shoulc
be given by the business men
of the city. The agricultura
committee which was appointee
at this meeting are already dis-
cussing ways and means for
the handling of the cotton crop
here this fall and its expected
that plans will be adopted that
will make this a greater cotton
market than it ever has been.
The matter of the city park
came up for consideration and
it was voted that every assist-
ance possible be given those in
charge of its affairs by this or-
ganization; also it was propos-
ed that the Chamber of Com-
merce assist in the erection of
a tabernacle in the nark to be
used for any and all kinds of
public meetings. The bad con-
dition of the tfoads leading
north and west of town receiv-
ed their share of consideration
and steps were taken to see if
their condition couldn't be
made better. Under the head
of new business election of of-
goue' into. J. W.ulS8uYfieSi
president of the Winnsboro
Grain & Grocery Co., was elec-
ted president; Geo. D. Hurdle,
vice president, and 0. Marvin

Turner, the retiring president,
in a few well chosen words ex-
pressed his appreciation of the
support and confidence that
had been given him during his
tenure of office by his co-work-
its, and expressed continued
faith and confidence in the /u-
ture work of the Chamber of
Commerce. Mr. Southerland In
assuming his new duties as
president asked for the hearty
co-operation of every director
and member of the organiza-
tion. Following the election of
