CARTER COUNTY FARMERS
ARE IN GREAT DISTRESS.
verely From DrOuEht-Aid Is So
licited for Those in Want.

hat Section of Missouri Suffered Sc
verely From DrouEht-AId Il So
licited for Those in Want.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Van Buren,, No.. March S.-A mass meet
ing was held here Monday to investigate
and determine the condition Of drought
stricken farmers in Carter County. A COM
mittee of five leading citizens was appointed
to make an investigation. and they report
quite a number of families in destitute cir
cumstances and who are not able to help
themselves.
They need feed for their stock. seed to
plant their crops, and provisions for them
selves. Many Of them are wholly unable
to give any security to borrow money or
on the charity of the world.
II local committee, composed OF State
Senator G. 7. Lee. Alex. Carter, ]. f. Nc
Spadden, T. w. Cotton and r. l. Coleman,
are doing all they can to help these poor,
distressed farmers. but are unable to raise
by contributions a suficisnt amount to re-
Heve their suffering. They solicit help from
people outside of the county.
A.. q. J. Lehr. representative of the county
committee. and will cheerfully give any in
formation desired regarding the needs Of the
destitute farmers. Address him at Van Blu
ren. Nc.
The appeal for help is not coming from a
thriftless class. but from men who, under
ordinary circumstances. are substantial cit.
liens. They have been brought to want on
account OF the complete crop failure last
summer.
A small amount Of help to each family
would tide them over, and enable them 10
make another crop.

ST0RIETTES OF SOUTH

There are thousands of incidents Of war
which are not of sufficient Importance to
cable. which do not fit in exactly in ones
weekly letters. which do not make In the
slightest degree for history, but which.
nevertheless. have IN interest peculiarly
their own, which renders their exclusion
from printed record Il sheer waste OF good
material.
There IS nothing particularly lurid in
these stories which l wish to tell you here.
and, indeed. this l5tter is less a collection
of short stones than a lazy recalling of
incidents of war that at the. time struck
me as being out of the ordinary.
For instance, l remember what seemed to
me to be n remarkable exhibition of those

During June, July and August our

all the business houses may see
their way clear to adopt some plan
whereby their clerks may enjoy a
little recreation during the sum-
mer months. Thursday seems to
be the most suitable day for the
Grocers Of this city Wednesday
