A newly arrived Irish servant was in

A Cold Easter.

Snow and slush and Geld raw wind
made Sunday decidedly disagreeable East
er day. Spring hats and Easter suits were
kept by the fire and with the exception of q
few extra flowers, church-goers presented
the same appearance they did in January
and February.
The interior of the churches, however,
presented marked contrast to the weather
outside. All the decorations and floral dis
plays were beautiful and in two or three of
the churches elaborate. The exercises
were appropriate, and in every instance the
churches were well filled with pleased and
interested congregations. The joy and
good cheer within amply compensated for
the inclemency without.

Avon, Ill. January 1.-The conference
OF delegates from the farmers organiza-
tions in Fulton. Warren and McDonough
counties have declared for tho holding Of
a National convention TO form the National
farmers party. committee was appoint
ed with instructions to, begin preparations
at once for the event. AS quickly as posi-
bic representatives will be appointed all
over the United States. 1t is proposed to
hold the convention not later than the
first week In March. Chicago being favored
as the convention place.
Eldon w. Bradbury, who has been en-
gagged in tho work Of organization, read
this declaration of principles, which was
adopted without dissent:
I'VE hold that all men are created equal
and are endowed by their Creator with GER
tain inalienable rights: that 1t Is to pre-
serve these rights that governments are
instituted among men, deriving their just
powers IRON the consent of the governed,
and that whenever a government becomes
destructive of these ends IL is the duty of
the people to alter or to abolish 1t and
adopt such measures as will insure their
rights.
I'VE hold that the rule of minority
classes Is contrary to the spirit OF our in
stitutions and destructive TO our rights
I'VE hold that the only free and just
government is that in which the lawmalsing
bodies are composed of direct representa-
lives from such industries or occupations
as have Il majority OF the votes in the
congressional and legislative districts de-
fined by our constitution and the laws OF
our States. s
with an abiding faith in the truth and
justice of our belief, we appeal to every
farmer in the United States 10 Join hands
with us in effecting our purpose, which Is
the nomination and election Of farmers as
members of congress and farmers as mem
bers of our legislature. Agriculture being
the chief industry in the United States. the
Importance of our interests demand prompt
and energetic action. 10 that end we urge
an expression of opinion from farmers Of
this country as to the necessity of holding
a convention at the earliest and most con-
venient time and place to discuss our con-
dillon and to adopt such measures and take
such action as may seem necessary
A brief discussion ensued over the prop
osition that the representation In the pro-
posed National convention should be one
delegate fer each district sending a repre-
sentative to the lower house of the legis-
lature in the respective States.
number of letters from farmers and
labor organizations in various States, ad-
dressed to a. w. Holman. the original
mover in the new organization, were read.
