subordinate unions that has ever
met in the parish, and shows con-
clusively the great interest our
farmers take in their ordsr. The
meeting was harmonious, and the
large number of spectators pres
eat were both pleased snd inter-
ested in the proceedings. A good
ly number of ladies graced the oc-
casion, and their presence with a
large supply of the good things Of
life made the dinner hour sociable
and enjoyable. Mr.. W. s. Carr,
