The organization in this county has grown within the past few months to 500 members. The Union Storage Com papy composed of the membership of the county union, has recently bought and assumed charge of the Marion Warehouse, the only warehouse in Ma rion. It is claimed that this move ment will prove the means of in- creasing the warehouse receipts here 200 to 300 bales. The crop, however. Is exceedingly short in this county, some claiming the yield will not ex- ceed 50 per cent of last year, the most conservative estimate not above 60 per cent. The corn crop is also short
 Perry is headed off in making a pro~ hibition fight against the dispensary. The law prohibits the holding of an election in counties where new dis pensaries have been established until 1909.
