THE FARMERS INSTITUTE.
It Was Held at Laddonia on Monday
and Tuesday of This Week.

The meeting of the Farmers lnsti-
tute held at Laddonia on Monday and
Tuesday, October 14th and 18th, was
the first of a series of forty similar
meetings to be held in different parts
OF the State and was q success in every
way.
The Laddonia Hall was filled with
representative farmers of Audrain and
neighboring~ counties at every session
and great interest was manifested in
the addresses and exhibits, both of
which were up to the standard of the
greatest county on earth.
Among the addresses delivered be-
tore the Institute were, ~"Veterinary
Service" by Statev Veterinarian Turner,
which was full of good points and
showed what a valuable thing a veter-
mary surgeon is to every farmer, and
an address on "Bee Culture" by J. w.
Rouse, of Mexico, which was listened
to with great interest. Mr.. Rouse
fully sustained his reputation of being
one of the most practical bee raisers
in the State and at the same time
made one of the best speeches deliv-
cred before the Institute.
State Superintendent of Schools j.
8. Kirk addressed the meeting in a
mastery way, combining his remarks
chiefly to educational subjects. Supt.
Kirk is a good orator and his speech
was enjoyed by all.
Col. Terry, of Iowa, spoke IN "Clo-
vel Culture" and talked well on this
important subject.
Mr.. Beal, of Laddonia, made one of
the most interesting addresses, his
subject being "Audrain County Forty
Years Ago." in which he showed how
farms were managed in this county
nearly half a century back.
Mr.. Murray, of Oregon, Mo-, spoke
on "Apple Culture" and handled his
subject In q way which showed careful
study and research.
The exhibits of fruits and vegetables
from Audrain County were very fine.
Among these were apples weighing q
ounces; Ave ears of corn that weighed
7 pounds and 1 ounce; beans a foot
long; pumpkins weighing 9s pounds
and watermelons that tipped the beam
at rs pounds.
The meetings of the Institute were
presided over by G. w. Convey, of
Laddonia, while John Beal, editor of
the Laddonia Herald, was the secre-
tary. Such meetings r. a great help
to farmers and ought to certainly be
held at least once a year. With its
fertile soil and honest farmers Au-
drain County can't be beat.

CONDENSED TElEGRAMS.
The End Has Come.

LITTLE ROCK, ARK, May 14-The great revival is ended. It went out in flame of glory Sunday night after a lengthy, rock-ribbed and penetrating sermon by MT. Jones. No one will ever know how many people heard the sermon, as no one can tell how many people it is possible to pack into and around the tabern acle. Ten thousand is probably a conservative estimate of the mum Der who reached the taber- nacle; probably 5000 of these gained admission, while 1000 more stood around on the outside of the building, and the other 1000 went back home unable to secure a seat or find standing room. No such crowd has ever been seen here

Confederate Decoration Day

LITTLE ROCK, May 15.-The ceremo- nies incident to the annual decoration of the Confederate graves were carried out fai thfully in this city yesterday. About three thousand people partici- pated in the exercises at the cemetery and one of the most pleasant features of the occasion was that the cele brants of the day were not partial Among the procession to the City of the Dead were many who wore the blne and they listened respectfully and fraternally to the exercises commemorative of their departed foes. The orators of the day were Senator J. H. Berry and Hon. J. H. Herrod, each delivering an excellent and appropriate address full of feeling and loyalty to their departed dead, in the sentiments of which, however, could not have been discerned aught calculated to establish a breach by reason of past sectional differences. In the gathering the ladies predomi- mated and all assisted in decorating the graves. Senator Berry paid a hand some tribute to the women of the south and said that ito them we are inde bted for this cemetery and to them we look to keep green the memories of the past"
