Dear independent; you allow ne
small space in your valuable columns to re-
port the acton Of the Tomtto Growers Meet
ing held at Issue on the 3rd instant. The
meeting was called to order With Mr. f p
Jenkins la the chair and ELIAS Page as Secreta-
~. The chairman briefly stated that the object
of the meeting, was to ascertain by ballot the
lowest price per bushel they could grow aud
deliver tomatoes to the canneries Il yhteeu
votes were cast for - cents per bushel; p
votes for 20 cents per bushe and seyer.d
scattering votes for different prices ranging
from 20 to 80 cents per bushel A resolution
was then passed binding etch member present
not to grow tomatoes for less than 20 cents
per bushel. A committee consisting Of
George n Simms, J. Thomas Herbert, - 5.
Lancaster, Charles II. Posey anu II. Hay den,
was elected TO present resolutions to the can
ming establishments at Rock Point. Each
grower stated about how many acres he
would plant, provided he could get 20 cents
per bushe, which aggregated more than 200
acres. The meeting attracted far more at:en-
ton than the Democratic Club of the 9Th Dis
trict, which met for the first time during the
Xmas holidays at the house of my esteemed
friend Mr. B., since which time there has not
been a meeting Ct more than or 4. 1t IS
thought that taey only went to friend B S. to
drink his good whiskey, enjoy splendid
dinner, and smoke his fine Hayanas They
adjourned to meet in the school house, but as
yeu are well aware the fare in such places is
not very inviting, hence the non-atteudance.
