 frequently asserted that it was not the home merchant that hurts you--he is not the one we are after--it is the speculator. But the farmer should have a right to place a fair price on what he produces.
 The main thing that confronts us just now is the warehouse proposition. We have had con. siderable wrangling over it for the last twelve months; but the County Union. at this meeting. did a wise thing. which. I think. will adjust matters. They ap- pointed q warehouse committee. which has the power vested in 1t to make the best arrange ments possible. l was told by one of the members ot the com- mittee that they had a meeting. after consulting all the business men in town. That they {the business mem told them that if they would set an hour they would meet with them and talk the matter over; and, with this understanding. the committee went at the appointed hour, rang the bell, and but one mer- chant. Mir. l.. E. Morgan, met with them treating the com- mittee with perfect contempt- as good as to say. "Yon go to -!" like to have said it, but 1 won't.
 Now, friend Jim. l would like for you to answer me this ques- ton. if you can: Why are the business men of our town so bit. terly opposed to this Organiza- tion? They are not this way at other places. You ought to have heard Messrs. Lewis and Russ tell how the towns out West were helping to build ware houses for the Unions. They said that the merchants and bankers were helping in every instance, and in some were fur nishing nearly all the means, and in every place giving the Union absolute control.
 Now. l will say this: That Monticello is the place to have the warehouse; but that doesn't mean that it will be built there. regardless of consequences. l know whereof l speak. l am on the inside. have the pass word. The Union is going to build a warehouse, and it is up to Monticello to say whether it will be 5built there, or not. Trade goes With cotton. Out West there Were two towns on a railroad. The Union went to the one most centrally located to get proposition. The mer- chants and bankers acting a lit- tie slowly, they went to the oth- CT. which made q proposition that was accepted. Then it was in order for the first town to want the services of a first-class kicking machine. fear the merchants and bankers have been wearing thew glasses lit- tie too long. They have become smoky. If they will rub them up a little, or. better still. swap with us a while, they will prob ably see things as we do.
 Hoping everything will be agreeably adjusted. and the warehouse built at Monticello. l am, yours for peace and harmo- ny,

 Friend Jim:-I was disappoint- ed in not meeting you and friend Moffatt at the County Union, which met with the Rose Hill Local Union on the 18th and 17th inst. The President tells me that he gave you a special in- Yitation. 1t is certainly not a fact that you two have gone back on the horny-handed. sum- burnt sons of toil? 1 wish you could have been present and mingled with the vast crowd that assembled there on the 18th. It was estimated at be- tween 6 and 8 hundred. Iwould have liked so much for you to have heard the many nice com- pliments passed on our Union and Rose Hill Community; on the good order that was kept, etc. There was not a ripple to mar the pleasure of anyone. and when dinner was announced 1t was a treat to a hungry man (aud the most of us are about noon) to see the good ladies re- pair to the table, which was about 15O yards long. and pre- pare one of the most bountiful spreads that has seldom been our good pleasure to see It is out of the question for me to try to describe it. but will say that it looked like they had ev. erything to eat. except sand witches and fried frog's-legs. l would tell you about the differ ent varieties of barbecued mea ts they had. but I fear it would make you feel bad. After din ner. there was a two.horse wag on drawn up in front of the Church. in shady grove, and Mir. Bcecher Lewis, of Brinkley. mounted it and gave us one of the most eloquent and forcible addresses on the object and in tention of the Organization that I ever heard. The Union men did not expect anything else, but the non-Union men stood with open-mouth wonderment during the address, and maHy were heard to say. Well, it's not what thought it was; l can join that" and our Local Union received several applications for membership, for which We are thankful.

shelter of the pagoda, and from that
coign of comparative safety looked
down on a scene which had a remark
able climax
The fighters were massed near the
stern of the yacht, and the struggle
Centered round the safe. The deck was
strewn with dead and wounded.
Three of the participants were frantic
ally swimming for shore, and the man
in the shirt sleeves was still in the
thickest of the fray. His collar was
gone, and his red scarf hung like
streak of blood against the white of his
shirt bosom. The section of hose
swi5hed through the air, but his blows
were weaker.
OF a sudden the safe was pushed to
the stern of the yacht, poised there
for an instant, and then fell with
splash into the water; but instead of
sinking, as all properly constituted
safes are wont to do, this one fioated
and drifted slowly down with the
tide This astounding miracle had a
magical effect on the warning factions.
The man in the shirt sleeves took one
look at the bobbing safe, lowered his
weapon, and then shouted words I'M

The fighting ceased instantly. The

almost upon them did they realize their danger
As the civilian leader OF the police officers rushed
forward he picked up threc-fOOt section of rubber
hose an article used for a fender, and welded it as
a weapon in the desperate fight which ensued.
Like most bankers, Hastings IS a conservative
man; but what followed tingled every drop of fight

a moment they not in the thickest of the fight.
With the courage of bulldog he hurled himself
at the massive figure of the leader of the river
pirates. The next instant the deck was covered
with a writhng mass of swearing and Infatuated
men. They heard the thud of the piece of rubber
hose it fell the heads and shoulders of the out
laws. Once the brave civilian was knocked down,
and he and the leader wrested the deck but
the former shook his opponent Off sprang to his
feet and fought on like hend ncarnate.
There came the report of pistol shot, and a putt
of blue smoke oated the heads of the fighters.
At this signal other shots rang out, the two parties
Three men fell. y fourth staggered a moment
the rail revolver dropped from his clasp, and with
a COnVulslVe shudder he SWayed and fell overheard.
He came TO the surface near the bow foated for a
ton concerning his fate, and Hastings noted with
horror that he wore the uniform of defender of
the law.
MY God, This is awful" gasped Hastings,
cutching his wife by the arm and dragging her
away. Get back here out of range! Did you hear
that bullet whizz over our heads! I'm gong to
town for more police!'
He rushed for the garage, and luckily found the
chauffeur on hand and minute later a sixty horse
power machine was roaring toward the village half
a mile away.
Mrs. Hastings lowered near the edge of the bank,
but out of sight and range. The pistol shots still
rang out, and mingled with them the yells
and means of the contestants The good wife
