Laying A Corner Stone.

COLLEGE HILL. La, July q, 1891.
Editor Collar Chronicle:
The citizens of this and contiguous
neighborhoods assembled in mass meet
ing to witness the laying of the corner
stone OF the Farmers Union College at
this place. 1t was one of the most en-
loyable occasions it has ever been my
pleasure to witness. There we're present
at least three hundred people, who, with
one consent, heartily entered into the
work of the day. The programme was
fifty and appropriately arranged, and the
actors did credit to the occasion.
Rev. ]. ]. O'Quin opened the exercises
with religious services, and invoked the
blessing of God upon the efforts OF the
people to erect college in their midst.
A well trained singing class charmed
the audience with sweet music, consist
ing OF choice selections from Harvest
Bells Mr.. JAS. M. Fletcher was intro
duced as the first speaker, and evinced
much enthusiasm and zeal for the cause
OF education for the sons and daughters
OF farmers. He eulogised the Farmers
Union college, and expressed delight at
the opening era of the general diffusion
OF knowledge among the masses.
Prof. Traylor was introduced as the
President of the Farmers Union College.
and occupied about forty minutes in an
eloquent address on college work. He
addressed the people as friends and
neighbors, and proclaimed himself their
servant and co-worker in the cause of ed
ucatiOn. Already he has endeared him
self to the people, and will receive their
hearty sympathy and cooperation in his
effort to serve them in the school room.
Mr.. p. McManus was the next to an
pear before the audience, and made some
very happy hits and apt illustrations up
on the importance of education. The
congregation was then formed into pro-
cession, headed by the Board of Direc-
tors, and marched to the spot where the
corner stone was to be placed. Rev. /.
M. Brian officiated in this ceremony, and
made most touching and instructive ad-
dress, reminding us of the rock used by
our Savior to illustrate the firm fouuda-
ton of his church. After the President
of the Board of Directors had placed the
stone in its place, the Rev. gentleman
lead them in a most feeling and earnest
prayer for divine guidance in the great
work they had just begun.
At the close of the exercises, sumptu-
Gus dinner was spread for all, and they
did eat. This excellent dinner manifest
ed the great interest of the fair ladies' of
the community in the college enterprises
Let all friends of education lend help
ing hand in building up educational in
situations in our parish. Respectfully,
w. B. GARRETT

The reason that so rhany of the Farm
ers' Alliances are favofing the Ocala plat
: form, sub-treasury, ett., is because the
tendency of the leaders was so much to-
warts third party and Isms undemocratic,
that the Democratic members have been
dropping off, and thus|the machinery has
fallen INTO the hands Of the Greenback,
eub-treasury and anti Democratic crowd.

There were eight or ten of us on the

There was a very general response in the
shape of pasteboard until he came to a
farmer who was very earnestly looking
out of the window.

The man paid no attention.
"I'll take your ticket, If you please"

The conductor paused for a moment or
two and then called the brakeman.
"Now are you going to get off without a
fuss, or will we have to throw you Off"
The man sighed and said he would go off
quietly. When they got out on the plat

the bell rope the passenger cast his eye
over the flying landscape and said:

After another look the man shook his
