Company, involving the well-known
independent cotton oil mill, known
as the Hudmon mill at Hamilton, has
been in the incubator for some
time, however, a definite deal was
made this week, and in order to
keep the records entirely straight
the Record sought out Hon. J. T.
James, president of the Hamilton
National Bank, and one of the
main stays and financial backers of
the Hudmon mill, and asked him
his honesty and industry have
paved the way for his promotion in
line and we voice the sentiment of
all who know him when we wish
for him prosperity and happiness
in the measure that he deserves all
along the way.

occasion were Mr. and Mrs. Lee
