Bros. against numerous farmers in
this county, which attracted wide
spread interest, involving a large
sum for commercial fertilizer, and
farmers contending that the fCrtili-
zerwas improperly mixed, and killed
their crops, has been dismissed at
the complainants' cost. Colonel An
no, who represented the farmers, is
now receiving numerous letters from
his grateful clients, with checks in
each letter, and also containing en-
pressions of appreciation for his SER
vices. One farmer was so enthusias- |
tic as to say that if any of the defen-
dants in the suit failed to pay their
portion of his fee. to make list of |
them and send it to him and he |
would pay it. This means that here
after if fertilizers fail in their repre-
and fail to produce the
result lawfully expected and guaran-
teed, they can no longer be offered |
in this market. The State law must |
and shall be strictly complied with |
in every instance.-Miami Metropo-
