ITEMS FROM CLEAR CREEK,
CLEAR CREEK, J
Sept. 1889. {

Sept. 1889. !
Editor Democrat
Having so much on my mind I
hardly know what to put down first,
but | expect that | will wind up like
the old proverb says-without having
put anything new down.
The health of the neighborhood is
not so good as it has been in the past.
Mr.. j. j. East and two of his step
children were down last Friday with
light fevers.
Well, ! want to tell your readers
what nice thing was enjoyed on Sat
nrday last. The Farmers Union ex-
pressed their good will to outsiders by
extending an invitation to all Union
people and non-unionists to attend an
open session, held with Clear Creek
Union No. 43l. Tlare was a grand
turnout-more people being preseat
than had gathered before in perhaps
thirty years. At o'clock the people
began to flock in, and until O'clock
the crowd continued to come. At l
o'clock dinner was announced, and all
were invited to partake of the deli
cious spread of everything good to eat
that could be thought of. After din
ner had been served one hour of re-
cess was enjoyed by all, when the
crowd came together again to hear the
speaking, which had been previously
announced for the occasion.
The first speaker was the Rev. Mr..
Bryant, of Big Greek, who occupied
the stand for over one hour, and de-
livered a splendid address, abiding to
what the Union had done in the past,
and what it could do in the future if it
remained true to what it had started
ont to accomplish. He had the undi-
vided attention of the large crowd,
and was loudly cheered at the conclu-
sion of his remarks.
Mr.. Bryant having concluded his
pleasant talk it was announced that
the installation of the new subordinate
officers would take place. The whole
crowd of outsiders looked quite aston
ished, and said it was quite treat as
we'll as a surprise.
After the installation nothing of i'm
portance took place. the crowd disper-
sing and talking Of what was done at
the meeting.
1t has been newspaper talk for one
solid NINTH about the caterpillar, and
it may be appropriate for me to say
something but all l can say is that
the worms dreaded the large store of
Paris Green which was awaiting them
and have not made their appearance
in sufficient numbers to cause the
planters to poison to any great extent,
and now the feecy staple is being ra-
pidly hauled to gins and then to town
so the worms don't bother our minds.
One death to record-that of the
infant daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. B.
Price, about one year old. She died
on Red river, about Is miles below
Alexandria, and her remains were
brought to Clear Greek for interment.
A number of relatives and friendr had
gathered on the ground when the
corpse arrived. Rev. II. W. Peters
read the burial service. ar
At the request of correspondent of
another paper l ask permission to
change my name from Montak to
MONSIEUR.
