Northeast vernon Farmers Club.

The Northeast Vernon Farmers
Club met at the pleasant home of Mr.
and Mrs. j. G. Curtis, February 1st.
The meeting was opened in the usual
manner with singing by the club. The
devotional exercises were conducted
by Rev. G. E. Benson, followed by the
reading of the minutes.
We then listened to an interesting
paper by our president. He thought
our club had been success beyond
the expectations of any of its members,
and that the ladies had done excel
lently, both in entertaining and assist
ing in the program. He also thought
it would be good plan to have dis
cussions on such papers as are read.
We we're then favored by recita-
ton from Rena Smedley, can Inven-
tors Wife; recitation, "Maud Muller"
by Maud Patched; select reading by
Mrs. Ida Cooling, "Elder Lambs Do
nation;" reading, "Selling a Coat" by
j. o. Marks; recitation by Mrs. I'm
mick, "Reuben Green's Plight" read
ing, by L. j. Smedley. Ralph Patched
read about "Sliding Down Mountain
in Gold Pan"
Adjournment was then taken for
dinner, after which the program was
resumed. To the roll call only small
number of members responded, owing
to grip and other causes.
Next was the discussion of the ques-
ton "What should be the attitude of
the farmer toward the sugar beet in
dustry If the sugar trust should absorb
the beet sugar factories" s. G.
Patched, leader, said we should elect
good legislative members and leave
the trust business alone. Raise the
crop If it pays. The subject was we'll
discussed, but it was generally thought
the farmer better 60 slow.
j. Patched gave a reading, and
Mrs. f. Owen rendered instrumental
music. Resolutions of sympathy and
coincidence in the death of 7. Kline
were read and adopted. Instrumental
solo by Chas. Yerkes. The question
box in charge of Mrs. Ida Cooling was
next opened.
We then adjourned to meet with
Mr.. and Mrs. f. Owen, March LIST.

FOu1-Srne11ing
Catarrh.

Oatarrh is one of the most obstinate
diseases, and hence the most difficult
to get rid of.
There is but one way to cure It.
The disease is in the blood, and all the
sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures
in the world can have no permanent
effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe-
cific cures Catarrh permanently, for it is
the only remedy which can reach the
disease and force it from the blood.
Mr.. B. P. McAllister, of Harrodsburg,
KY, had Catarrh for years. He writes:

thronged to greet the visitors. The
members of the Iron Brigade formed in
front of the Palmer House after dinner
and marched to the generals house
with fife and drum corps playing
"The Village Quickstep," an old air
very well known to civil war veterans.
1t was notorious in General Bragg's
regiment, whose soldiers used to get so
tired of it that the matter was stand
ing joke with them.
The general recognized that tune
when the band came up the street yes
terday. The veterans carried the old
regimental banners and Captain Nc
Connell was in full uniform. Each man
also had a small American flag In his
hand and wore the corps badge with
the figure ~ upon 1t. The loving cup
Is beautiful piece of work. The body
Is of heavy silver, the handles are OF
buckhorn and the base of ebony, on
which is silver plate engraved with
the badge of the Iron Brigade. The
silver body Of the cup is inscribed as
follows: Presented to General Ed
ward s. Bragg. Commander Of the Iron
Brigade, Feb 20, 1899, by his comrades
on his 72d birthday"

Commissioner Grosvenor says he is
handicapped by the fact that the av-
erage prosecuting attorney Is. as might
be supposed. no match for these ex-
perts. and he wants the Legislature
to give him authority and the where
withal to retain equally as good coun-
sci as he Is constantly encountering in
his efforts to enforce the pure food
laws. This accounts for portion OF
the increased appropriation asked for.
He also wants the law amended so that
the department may commence prose-
cutions against violaters OF the law
without the consent of the prosecuting
attorney Of the county In which the al
legged crime was committed Local
considerations sometimes make these
prosecutors 10th to act, and the ends
OF Justice are thereby thwarted.
