The Farmers Union.

We have received a copy of THE
FARMERS UNION and AGRICULTURAL.
REVIEW, p :bliched at Chicago. and
thought a new oracle, it is edited by
one who has had twent: years expert
ence in the field of agricultural jou nal
ism, and probably the bestknown
friend of the farmer in that line. a.
he was also the founder of the Farmers
Alliance fifteen years ago. an organiza-
ton which spread rapidly from the
start and which extended over the
greater portion of the United States.
The new Journal presents fine ap-
pearance in its mechanical execution
and is ably edited. with it's twenty-five
departments. covering the entire field
OF literature. art and science suited to
to the needs OF the farm. stock and
homes of the sun-browned tillers of the
soil.
We predict for THE FARMERS UNION
a great and brilliant future. as the
long experience of its editor and mana
ger. Milton George. adds to it the GER
ainty of success. We offer THE UNION
in club with our paper. the FARMERS
UNION, at the low price of $40, for
both. For for sample copies. address

5 description, s. Fer Year in Advance
A Change.

For nearly four years we have con.
Quoted this paper alone and almost un-
aided. 1t has grown to q very large
extent and think it too much work for
one man, 30 we have associated our
selves with John II. Watkins, who will
have supervision OF the business de.
partment. The editorial will be con.
Quoted solely by me and the paper will
continue, a. in the past, q straight in
the middle OF the road POpulist Journal.
This change will give US more time t.
devote to editorial work and hope TO
improve the FARMERS UNION materi-
ally. The new firm will take charge
of the paper next week and we expect
the friends of the new management will
be AZ liberal with the old firm as they
have been with us in the years past.
We have always deemed it very great
pleasure to have patrons call on us and
Will continue to receive friends
cordially. This is the only Scotland
county seat paper that is not run on
war prices so far AS subscription rates
are concerned, and we should have Il
large number OF more re aders, which
we hope our friends will assist Mr.
Watkins in getting. This change will
make it necessary to square upour books
and We call on everyone owing us to
call during the next two weeks and
settle the same. Subscriptions already
paid will be continued right along as
though no change had been made. Ex-
pecting this change will suit all true
friends OF the paper, we remain,
Very respectfully
