'BACCO PLANTERS.

MEETING OF TOBACCO PLANTERS.
The 9th was an unfavorable day, and not many
Planters attended the meeting. Instead, therefore
OF giving the proceedings of very large meeting Of
the Planters of this and the adjoining counties, we
can only give the proceedings of very respectable
portion OF the Planters of Old Howard and, perhaps
a few from other counties
1t will be remembered that the meeting Of Satur-
day, the 9th instant, was adjourned meeting, ap.
pointed by that of Seven Mile Prairie, 1t was ex-
pected then, as matter Of course, that the same
chairman and secretary, and most Of those who at
tended that meeting would have attended this. But
not so-nether the chairman secretary was pres
ent, and but few of those composing the other meet
ing this.
This being the case, the meeting was organized by
calling Dr. j. J. Lo wRY to the chair, and appointing
J. 7. QUEsENBERRY secretary. The chairman them in
a few appropriate remarks, stated the object of
the meetng-when

10 The Independent Planters Of Howard and adjoining
counties, IN general meeting in the torn Of Fayete,
on The 8h day Of January, 1912.
GENTLEMEN THE undersigned having been ap-
appointed (at your former meeting held at the Seven
Mile Prairie) corresponding committee, to cores.
pond with the State Bank of Illinois, to ascertain on
what terms loan be obtained to relieve the
wants of the planters, uut their crops could be
shipped and sold, beg leave to make the following
report, to witt
That after mature deliberaton and consultation, we
recommend to TIE meeting decline the idea of the
contemplated loan: we find that all are not hearty
in the plan, for although have the high authority
of the State Bank Of Missouri, obtaining loan from
the Bank of Illinois, in her suspended state and when
the money was sa much under par as at present. and
although the Bank of Missouri loaned said deprecia-
ted paper to citizens and refused to receive any
thing in payment but gold and silver or it's equivalent
yet with this high authority before u.s. we find that
some of our worthy planters oppose the project; we
therefore recommend to the meeting to drop the
idea of said loan, and ask to be discharged from
further consideration thereof.
