cation of 500 petitioners, with prom
Use OF attendance, will secure to the
people of the Eastern Shore the next

further assurance that, il Accomac
will furnish eco of these, Northamp-

ifestly our people would he unjust to
the interests OF our county, as well as
to themselves if this opportunity
should be suffered to go by unim-
proved. Agriculture is progressive
science, and surely our farmers can
not afford to fell behind the van
guard of their profession; but, in
these hard times, whatever tend. to
broaden the scope Of our knowledge,
and open up an easier road to success,
must commend-itself especially to our
interest. With the idea of securing
the necessary 200 signatures without
delay, petitions are being circulated
in different sections of the county.

to sign, postal card direct to Capt.
