When the list of cooperating gins is announced, the grower may take his cotton to any gin on the list and sell his cotton seed at the established price of $46.50 a ton. The purchase program, the chairman explains applies only to 1949 cottonseed. Freeman Succeeds C. B. Parr Mr. C.

They decided to continue the five-year plan of raising $1000 each year to be used for street decorations and the San ta Claus parade. During the five - year plan the major part of the funds will be used to purchase new street decorations, and at the end of this period the committee hopes to have one of the most at tractive towns in the state dur ing he Chrismas season. The committee also decided to offer $100 in prizes for floats entered in the parade by the schools in the city and county.
