With the closing of the week,
the close of the Thaw trial will
doubtless come to an end and a
verdict of mot Guilty" will be
returded by the jury. District
Attorney Jerome has detracted
from his reputation as a prose
cutor and stands before the
country more in the attitude of
a prosecutor of Mrs. Thaw than
the prosecutor of her husband.
Calling for a lunacy commission
when he saw he had been out
witted by the able and astute
Delmas, he declined to accept
without protest the decision of
the commission he had been in
strumental in having appointed.
The country had looked upon
Jerome as fit timber out OF
which a governor for the En-
pire State could be made, but
public opinion now places him
in an altogether different class.

Growth OF Farmers Union.

The recent announcement that
the Farmers Educational and
Cooperative Union has increas-
ed it's membership in Mississippi
by 500 during the past weeks,
is some indication of the re-
markable growth of this organ
ization throughout the entire
country. 1t was estimated some
time ago hat the membership
exceeded a round million, and it
is by no mean improbable that
even those figures have long
since been passed.
The information from Missis-
sippi is to the effect that the
growth has beca so rapid that
special injunctions have been
given that no undesirable mem
bers should be taken, and this
policy has been rigidly followed.
But in spite OF tne care and dis
elimination Which is exercised,
there seems to Je no limit to the
growth of the National Union.
Chas. S. Barrett, the presl-
dent of the National Union, is a
citizen of Geort y, aad together
with President Juckworth of the
State Union, and the various
state and national officers of the
organization, has been doing
some very effective work. They
are men of conspicuous ability
and tireless energy, so it is not
to be wondered at that they
have met with marked success.
If the Farmers Union will
stand together, they will be able
to accomplish much for their own
welfare and for the welfare of
the agricultural interests of the
whole country. 1t is a compact
and patriotic organization, with
high ideals and the courage of
its convictions. 1t is capable of
becoming a powerful factor, for
instance, in the maintenance of
a higher level of prices for cot
ton and to this end, we have no
doubt, it will largely direct it's
attention. Atlanta Journal.

YUST FROM SWEDEN.

Ole Swanson has met with instanta-

with delightful comedy, sensational
scenes and many delightful pictures of
the Northwest around Pine Island, Min

character, Ole Swanson, that good ma
tured Swede, always creates scream

stage character as that Uncle Josh in
'The Old Homestead" and the popu-

M. T. GRATTAN, Preston, Mimi,
Friend Grattan:-Y Your letter of
yesterday at hand asking me what l
think of your stallion LODALLER,
2:25a.
l am very glad to say that think
very highly of him. was the starter
and also one of the judges, in the race
here at DEBORAH, in which he got his
record. He acted like the making of
very high-class race horse, and am
sure, had he not met with an accident
later, would have trained onto record
equal to his sires. His game, de-
termined way of finishing impressed us
all, very much.
If you remember, in the third heat
of his race, the judges thought that
the driver of PENICA MAID, the con-
tending horse, was not trying as hard
as he might, and accordingly changed
drivers. But the result showed that
whether he was trying or not, the mare
was absolutely no match for LODAL-
LER, as after laying along with him to
the head of the stretch, you simply
spoke to LODALLER, and he came
away and won with out an effort.
l do not know Of a stallion in the
northwest with more individuality and
genuine good qualities than your horse,
and sincerely trust that he will be
mated with some good mares, as am
sure with half chance he will sire
genuine race-horse trotters.
Yours truly,
E. J. CURTIN.
