"A
means TO be a farmer and a oiti-
zen. Yours, the high duty Of
teaching your less thoughtful
neighbor that the raising of four
cent cotton will drive him into
night illumined by no star; yours
the solemn duty of reforming a
credit system which has hliphted
more homes and struck more
roses from the checks Of noble
women than all the wars since
Caesar atood on the banks OF the
Rubicon. Then go forth TO do
what you can, carrying with you
the consciousness that YOU serve
not self alone, but God and 70 II
country, and your work will in-
deed be an enduring monument
that needs no establishment by
human hands, and then may you
bid king cotton lay aside his
funeral shroud and his rise and
his reign will bless mankind.
At the conclusion OF Mr.. Sim
mons address, d. NJ. Huff was
elected secretary, and the meet
ing was then declared III order
for business.
DR.. r. r. Hart was called on
for a speech and entertained the
audience for a half-hour or more,
with a narrative of his experience
OF twenty two years on Pike
county farm. His remarks were
interesting and instructive, and
the suggestions offered were wise
and timely. He declared that
farmers must practice strict econ
omy; diversity their crops; de-
vote more attention to stock
raising; resolve to make a living
at home, and raise cotton only as
a surplus crop; be more social
and encourage the boys to re-
main on the farm. He opposed
buying commercial fertilizers to
produce staple crop that sold
from two to three cents a pound
less than it cost TO produce it. He
thought the under consumption
Of cotton was the chief cause Of its
low price, and stated that he did
MOI believe there was a family in
the county that had all the cotton
clothing, sheets, pillow cases,
ETC., necessary, and gave as a
reason for this opinion that the
people did not have the money
with which to supply their needs
in this line. He advised the
/ farmers TO quit talking SO much
about the financial policy Of the
country, and settle down on a
solid business basis, and resolve
to make a living. He advised
the merchants TO not encourage
the farmers to go in debt beyond
their ability to pay.

resolutions was then appointed:

The Muncie Herald says: The new
fish law is so obscure that about the
only way to be safe is not to go fishing
or even swimming since the law pro-
vides that even attempt to fish can be
punished. The fellow who spades up
his garden might be arrested because
he might be hunting bait with which TO
fish. Fellows found near lake or
river with pint, or more take great
chances of Icing indicted. Dry land
suckers are the only kind of fish that
are not protected by the law.
