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.
