Neat Profit Realized During the Past Year Despite Inability to Se cure Cars for Shipment The annual meeting of stockhold ers of the Farmers' Elevator com pany, of Alurray. was held in this city on last Alonday, at which time a review of the business done dur ing the past year was had. Upon auditing the books of the company as kept by their manager, T. E. Barrows, the same were found to be in excellent condition with a balance to the cent. After paying all expenses, the net profits of the year will amount to something like $4,800.00, which is a very credible sum, considering the shortage of cars that prevailed throughout the busy season of .the year. The stockholders voted to lave to the board of directors, consisting of the officers and three other stock holders to transact a large part of the business before the meeting, in cluding the hiring of a manager for the present year. Air. Barrows, who has had the position for some time, and who has made an excellent offi cial, painstaking and possessed of the good judgment and business acu men which contributes so largely to the success of any enterprise, has notified the company he cannot re main with them unless given suffi cient remuneration , to justify his con tinuance. It is expected that he will be retained by the directors. At the election of officers for the coming year the following were se lected: C. D. Spangler. president; G. AI. Minford, vice-president; W. H. Puis, secretary; Charles Herron. treasurer. These .together with C. R. Troop. H. C. Creamer and Fred Lutz. comprise the board of direc tors, to whose care has been entrust ed much of the business affairs of the company.
