We received clippings from
the Daily lberian too late to give
attention to them this week. but
next week we will have something
to say in regard to the effusion of
that great shining light, the Ibe-
ran, and we will show to the
brainy (?) paper how it has dis
played its ignorance.
A few loads of cotton were
brought this and the past week in
to town, but the market was not
yet open, that is, no price had
been made upon cotton, on this
account those who had a few
thousand pounds held back, as the
planters always like to know what
their product is worth before thew
put it upon the market.
Mr.. Lionel Davenport, who re-
sided at Duchamp station, was ia
ken here at the beginning of the
week, seriously sick, with con-
sumption, and fingered until 1O1
O'Clock Wednesday night, when
death relieved him of his suffer
lngs. He was aged 80 years, and
leaves a wife and four children.
He was buried at 5 O'Clock Thurs
day evening.
AS will be seen by an adver-l
tisement in the Messenger, the
Huron plantation, which has been |
almost abandoned for q number of |
years, will he sold on the 2lst day |
Of September. 1t is to be hoped
that this valuable estate will fall
into the hands of people who have
the means and the disposition to
rebuild the refinery and open the
vast lands to cultivation.
The Ladies of thu industrial
School Campaign Club will give|
one of their bi-monthly entertain
ments at 5 p. M, Sunday Aug. q,
if the weather is fine the party
will take place on DeMahy's lawn,
it will be at Duchamp's
Hall. Pretty prices will be given
to the happy winner in the differ
ant games to be played that eve
ming. Entrance free.

members for the organization OF q
County Parish Club. Said appointees
shall be in no way interested in drum
ming or buying produce. Neighbor
hood meetings will instruct their
delegates upon the vital questions of
drumming, home buying, consigning
and proper handling of produce.
Secretaries of these meetings will en-
roll every farmer in their district
limits, whether a member or other
wise,) giving their productive capaci-
ty, which enrolment the delegates
will hand to the secretary Of the
County Parish Club.
Members of the neighborhood asso
Citations will be subject to the by
laws adopted by the County Parish
Club for year 1899, unless majority OF
the whole membership shall other
wise declare. Proper credentials from
neighborhood associations will be re-
CURED for membership to the County
Parish Club.
By a procedure of this kind the
wishes of the farmers can be readily
ascertained with but little trouble,
and If proper men are delegated to
the membership of the County Parish
Club. and the farmers hold together
in carrying out their rulings, there is
but little doubt but that better
condition of things will follow. What
say you farmers to an organization
upon some such plan?
