THE MARION COUNTY COURIER
Cann.ng Plant For
Marion County Is
Being Talked Here
Accompanied by several inter-
ested persona, County Agent C,
R. Heuton Tiaited the canning
plant at Atlanta Friday to study
the plan# and its operation.
Each phase of the workings of
the plant, was described by Mr.
Adams, superintendent, and the
visitors come back to Jefferson
with the idea to consider #8lab-
lishing a similar plant in Marlon
Coil*'J".
Mr. Hoaton states tfeey w«re
canning tomatoes at the time
and it was brought out by Mr.
Adam! thai tr.e supply from hel
plant was just able to meet the
demand.
Also brought to the attention
of the group was the gVeat de-
mand for voungberries and that
possibilities for growing young-
berries in Marion county on a
commercial basis seeme J bright
The day was taken up at he
plant with each operation dem-
onstrated throughly.
Those visiting the plant were:
H. D. Carter, R. R. Morriion,
Mr. and Mrs. R. Suber and
daughter, Mr. and Mrs. W. Su
ber, Artie Stewart. T. B Day,
Nanc e Kant, John Erickson, C.
R. Hoaton and D. R. Hooten su-
perintendent of the seed breed-
ing station at Greenville. Texas.
EVERYBODY URGED TO BOOST HIR
(Continued trow Page one)
nevertheless, its passing out of the picture would surely
hurt badly at this time. Visualize if you will what would
happen if just fifty percent of those who dwell within our
borders should come together and all work for the ad-
vancement of our city and county.
The change which old Rip Van Winkle found after his
long nap wouldn't be a patching to what would take place
here. Earnest and willing workers could easily make Jef-
ferson over, and in doing so, gladden many, many hearts
and at the aame time add a lot of dollars to diminishing
bank rolls hereabout.
Those famiiliar with the past agree that the mistakes
made by those at the head of affairs in the early days of
Jefferson wrecked one of the most promising cities of that
day. With the light of the past before us surely we will
not make similar mistakes.
If you are willing to put energy or cash into the big
task of keeping Jefferson and Marion County at the front
now is the time to show your attitude.
This article is a direct appeal to every business man
and property holder in our little city to give serious con-
sideration to the situation with which we are confronted.
We are here today because Noah had sense enough to
prepare for the worst flood in history.

The many friends of Mr. and
Mrs. E. Meyer are congratulafc
ing this estimable couple o n
their 00th wedding anniversary
which they celebrated at their
home here Friday.
Mr. Meyer is 87 and Mrs. Me-
yer is 88. Both are enjoying ex-
cellent health and both say they
have never had any serious ill-
ness during their lifetimes.
Mr. Meyer is of German Jew-
ish descent, having come to A-
merica at the age of 14 from So-
est, Germany, where he was born
He landed in New York and im-
mediately took a boat to Galves-
ton where he planned to make
his home and work. He found
employment with the L.H. Blum
Oo. of Galveston, a dry goods
concern and traveled for thiB
this concern in North and East
Texas. Shortly after becoming
connected with the Blum Com-
pany he established a home in
Jefferson. He was with the Blum
Company for ten years.
During the ten years he was
employed out of Galveston he
married Miss Susie Sims, the
daughter of a plantation owner
and colonel in the Confederate
army.
Upon leaving the Blum Co., he
was employed for the Rice Stoyx
Co. in St. Louis, Mo., also a dry
goods house, He was then trans-
ferred to the B. J. Wolf and Son
Co,, of New Orleans and was
with them until 1890 when he
came back to Jefferson and open
ed a real estate firm which flour-
ished until 1924 when he retired
from active business.
Mr. and Mrs. Meyer were
married in 1879 by Rev. Neely
of the Methodist of .letTerson in
the home which they now occupy.
They are the parents of seven
children, all of whom are living.
They are: Mrs. Lollye Hillier of
Jefferson, Mrs. Annie Collings of
Mrs. Louise
Dallas. Mrs. Bessie
J Henderson of Chicago, Mrs.Ma-
;ble .Johnson of Dallas, Mrs, Su-
sie Preston of Abilene, Tex. and
Mr. Will Meyer, an attorney in
Tulsa, Oklahoma.
One of the children, Mrs Hil- j
lier, was home for the celebra-
tion on Friday.
Their home on Clarksville st.
j remains unchanged, and hardiy
a day passes that this couple is
not visited b y some o f their
many friends in Jefferson and
adjoining cities.
Mr. Meyer is remembered for
his work in obtaining much of
the land in Marion county on
which several of the schools now
stand. He is inactive in business
yet he keeps up with the growth
and development of the city and
county as lie did while operating
his oftiee here.
