That Humane Society.

About every ten days Deputy
Sheriff Grant hobs up and says I'VE
need live humane society,"" Now
that is correct, but what Is Mr.. Grant
going to do about it? Blame seems
to be attached to those people who
have been trying to get the society
on it's feet.
Many causes have been assigned
as to why the society is not in opera
ton today, but so far as I have seen
no one has named the real reason.
Here it is: Way last fall the humane
society was duly organized, officers
elected, constitution and bylaws
framed, and application made to the
secretary of state for proper papers
in the matter of incorporation, but
in spite of the fact that our secre-
tary has many times urgently re-
Questei action upon the part of the
secretary of state, yet that official
has neglected to forward the neces-
sary papers, and therefore we are
powerless to act.
II any person or persons know of,
or can suggest any way by which our
public officials can be compelled to
act, let them speak up. We are here,
ready to act Just as soon as we can
do So legally-yes, we are anxious to
act in several cases. We know of
horses on the streets every day which
are poorly fed, overdriven, unmerci-
fully whipped and in other why's
abused, and that, too, by business
men.
We also know men who are sell
Ing tobacco and cigarettes to boys in
violation Of the state laws. If we
were legally empowered to prosecute
these cases, rest assured we would
lose no time in making an example
Of some of these offenders, which we
think would have a wholesome effect
upon others. We are glad that Mr..
Grant wants society, and trust that
he will lose no time in signing the
constitution, and that he will assist
US in our difficulty with the secre-
tary of state, and some day we trust
that some of the offenders may be
brought to justice.
Yours truly,
H. L. MATTERSON.

ORGANIZING FARMERS UNIONS.
Mr. G. Armstrong Now In the
County.

Mr.: j. G.. Armstrong, of White
county, Ark, was al appreciated Wis
itOr at The Sentinel office on WedneS-
day. He is state organizer for the
Farmers Union and will spend some
time in this county perfecting the
work of organizing and will perhaps
form a County Union. The purposes
of the Union are good and should
have the endorsement and cO-opera-
tiOn of every good citizen in the coun-
ty, even though he be not a farmer.
Prosperous farmers means prosperous
merchants, good business for banks
and easy money for every man who
tolls for his bread. Mr.. Armstrong
states that the Union is in no sense
political and that the furtherance OF
political ends and aims by the organi-
zation is prohibited. The Union is
now So. .OO9 strong in Mississippi and
is growing rapidly. In many places
last fall the Union fixed the price of
IL cents for cotton and obtained that
before selling and if it continues to oe
wisely directed. great help will not
only be rendered the formers in SELL
ing but in buying as we'll.
