Thet newly organized Alto
Chamber of Commerce en-
joyed it's first real get-to-
gether meeting around the
banquet table in the basement
of the Methodist church Tues-
day night. Fifty-eight people
were present, all being Alto
folks with the exception of J.
M. Stanford of the East Texas
Chamber of Commerce and Mr.
Krame, Secretary of the Jack-
sonvile Chamber of Commerce.
It was the first meeting of
this kind that Alto business
folks had had in a long time^
and the fact that it was hear
the hour of mid-night when it
closed evidenced the fact that
it was thoroughly enjoyed by
those participating.
The meeting war. in charge

* who has the knack of keeping
* the "ball rolling," and keeping
* everyone awake, and on this
* occasion, he demonstrated that
* usual ability. He kept some-

* ;of the time, and if just hall' of
* I the good things were done that
* .was said at this meeting, Alto
* j would be an outstanding Cit#

progress. Everyone who spoke
a few words came forth with

called upon unexpected to

Over 2500 Bales
Brought to Alto.
More than 2500 bales of cot-
ton has been brought to Alto
from the 1927 crop. The local
yard receipts are now in the
2100's and the round bale press
at the Alto Gin & Crate Co.,
has baled more than 500 bales.
The crop here is variously es-
timated at between 3500 and]
4000 bales.
GOVERNMENT REPORT
The government report that
came in this morning gave the
crop at 12,692,000, and the
first market report to follow
shot cotton up 200 points, mak-
ing it 24.60, but reaction fol-
lowed immediately with forty
points down. Local buyers
think this fluctuation will
continue for the next two
weeks before it settles down,
caused from this report. Thia|
