ment of the affairs committed TO their
trust, these officials, who have been
clearly unfaithful to the state hope TO

All farmers, or anyone directly
interested in farming, manufacturing
or mining, may become member by
having their name and address placed
on the Conventions Register. No
membership fee is required.
This is not, IN any sense, apolitical
organization. 1t seeks to advance the
interest and improve the condition
of the farmer by giving him the privl-
lege of annually meeting his brother
farmers and exchanging ideas upon
this all important science.
Its highest prerogative is the educa-
ton of the farmers within its jurisdic-
ton in the true science of agriculture.
At its meetings the scientific farmer
meets the practical farmer; they ex-
change opinions; and not only they,
but the silent observer, are the bene-
factors.
II you are in any way interested in
agriculture, you cannot afford to not
attend this meeting.
The railroads have kindly agreed to
give one and one-third rate (certifi-
cate plan) to those who may attend.
Mr.. F. D. French who is vice pies
ident of the convention informes us
that all the farmers of Blount County
are invited and will be treated as
delegates.
