WrrTY.-Judge Moore is certainly the
wittiest member of the Farmers Club, and
sends volleys Of repartee into the ranks of
his opponents in debate. One of his hits
was made last meeting, and is worth repeat
ing: Mr.. Elliott, in the course Of few
remarks on the organization of Oranges,
expressed desire to become a member,
but, if all the ladies of his neighborhood
were as much opposed to secret societies as
his wife, he feared it would be impossible
to obtain the requisite number of females.
The Judge thought no such difficulty in
the way, when Mr.. Elliott again expressed
his hearty approval of the order, and his
with sly twinkle in his eye, gravely re-
marked that the motives of his friend were
plainly apparent-the fact of his wifess
opposition to the order was probably the
cause of Mr.. Elliott's desire to join an Or
ganiZatiOn of which women must neces-
sarily become members.
