Attention, Farmers |

AS Chairman of the Farmers Asso.
citation of Warren county, we would
earnestly request every farmer in the
county who can TO attend the meeting
of the Association in McMinnnville
Monday next, the Sd Of September,
for the purpose of considering the ques-
ton of forming farmers clubs in each
civil district or neighborhood, that
agricultural papers may be read, ex-
periments agreed upon and tested, and
all questions relating to agriculture
discussed and investigated. The want
of information on Agricultural subjects
and the lack of cooperative effort are
the chief causes of failures in farming
and the depletion of our lands A few
farmers around our county towns can
not of themselves make success of the
farmers Association, The masses
must be melted to action, and take
hold of the matter in earnest if success
is attained, Wake up, farmers |

McMinnyille, Aug 81, 1888
Since our last issue there have been
some changes. Corn and wheat have
hardly held their own. There is some
demand for fine choice wheat at low
figures, but scarcely any demand for
off grades at any thing like reasonable
prices. Corn is fully 3 cents lower
than it was week ago. 1t looks as if
it had about touched bottom. In pro-
visions there is no improvement,
Country produce seems about the same,
except dried fruit is off a little, es-
pecially apples. AS stated last week,
the McMinnyille market has been up
to the topin fact too high for the pur-
chaser to realizeany profit unless there
is an advance in other markets. Eggs

effect of Reerdell's disclosures during TO-
days proceedings He answered: 81 believe
Reerdell is entirely sincere, and is telling
the truth, and will disclose the entIre truth.
The testimony which be has thus far given ia
only about one fourth of what he is expected
to give, and is nothing like as important

Is all before The court, and is taken in con-
nection with the evidence already in, which
sustains him IN every particular, 1 do not
believe there can remain a doubt in any
mans mind Of the guilt OF all parties, or
that there can be doubt that my statement,
made last Eummer was correct, that Raerdell
was but subordinate instrument, knowingly
and purposely aiding prominent and able
men in their nefarious scheme 10 defraud the
government of the United Ststes.'
Again" said Merrick, slowly and emph Iii
cslly, 81 want it to be understood
that the government would not consent 10
accept Re r1ell as witness and noIls pros the

to do anything of the kind, and certainly
would not have put him on the sland unless
he had Of bis own voluntary action pleaded
guilty, and unreservedy thrown himself
upon the mercy of the Court"
Merrick added that he believed the gov
eminent would close its case some time
during next week. R2erdsll, he said, had
spoken OF a number of blank affidavits
OF damaging character that had mysteriously
disappeared. 1t would shortly appear that

length of the season for maturing is given

from trash. A few report shorter staple.
About II per cent. of the crop still remains
in the farmers hands. The injury by the

exceptions. The loss is calculated about 8

WAsHINGToN, February 15-House.-Mr.

port on the Japanese indemnity fund bill.
The effect of the bill as agreed 10 in the
conference is 10 return to Japan the original
sum received from that government, $685..
600, without interest, 10 pay the officers and
crews of the Wyoming and Taking Sl40,00
and cancel all bonds comprising the Japanese
indemnity fund. Several members ex-
pressed the opinion that an attempt TO pay
back any part of the money Of another gov
eminent was disgrsceful, but the majority
seemed to think the adoption of the report
would be step in the right direction, and
the best obiainable this session, and that the
bill did not bind future Congresses from do
ing justicein ihe future. So the conference
report was agreed TO by vote of 1872 to
twenty-seven.
The House then went into Committee Of
the Whole on the tariff bill, and considera-
lion Of schedule E of sugar was entered
upon, which continued up to the hour of ad-
iournment
