The extent of the creamery interest in
this neighborhood is not generally
known, but some idea of it may be
obtained from the fact that the First

night, Mr.. Frank Smock; of Monroe,
discussed the political issues of the

A. 7. Jones, of the Populist county

Mr.. Smock is fair talker and held

financial question, and attributed the
