FARMERS UNION.
Editor THn CHRONICLE,

VIII you kindly give me space
to call the attention of the secre-
taries of the various locals of the
eounty whose members bought
fertilizers through Mr.. Ferguson,
that at our July county meeting at
Smiths College Brother Fergu-
sons commission was fixed at 5
cents per bag, and the brother
should have his commission. So
let the local secretaries collect
from members who have not al
ready paid this small amount and
send either to the county secretary
or j. FL. Ferguson, Camden, Tenn.
There is another matter to which
| wish to call the attention of those
who are interested in the Farmers
Union. The Farmers Union is
now coming into a new era. Its
founder, that noble man, Newton
Gresham, and the trainers of its
constitution-those who worked
SO faithfully and we'll during the
initial features of this great move
ment-even they did not conceive
of the magnitude of it's growth.
The wealthiest, brainiest and the
most influential men of the South
are lining up with US in this fight,
which means fight for the estab-
lishment of Justice, the securing
of Equity, and the application of
the Golden Rule.
They realize that good prices to
the Southern farmer for his sur
plus means more money in the
South, prosperity and good feeling
among one and all, hence their
hearty cooperation which they so
beautifully manifested in the re-
cent big meetings in New Orleans
and Memphis.
Brother Editor, TIM afraid that
quite number of our good folks
fail to realize the Importance of
the educational side of our organ
ization. The press is by far the
cheaper and better source of edu-
ucation.. just word more and I
leave it with them.
The National Union Farmer of
Memphis, Tenn, the official organ
of the Farmers Union in Tonnes
see, and the CAMDEN CHRONICLE,
our county paper, which has been
a friend to the organization since
the dawn of it's existence in this
county, can be had for one year for
the small sum of $120. Now lets
get busy and make up some good
lists of subscribers and take advan-
tage of this offer, which can not
possibly hold much longer, and
thereby not only show our appre-
citation for past favors shown our
organization, but be benefited
from an educational standpoint
Let us never surrender, but prove
ourselves loyal soldiers and sup
port every institution established
by our grand order.

Trouble making is an older industry

Imaginary trouble consists of rail

TORTURED SIX MONTHS
BY Terrible Itching Eczema-Baby'c
Suffering Was Terrible - Soon

Eczema appeared on my sons face.
We went to a doctor who treated him
for three months. Then he was so bad
that his face and head were nothing
but one sore and his ears looked as If
they werc going 10 fall off, so we tried
another doctor for four months, the
baby never getting any better. His
hand and legs had big sores on them
and the poor little fellow suffered so
terribly that he could not sleep. After
he had suffered six months we tried
a set of the Cuticura Remedies and
the first treatment let him sleep and
rest we'll; in one week the sores were
gone and in two months he had clear
face. Now he is two years and has
never had eczema again. Mrs. Louis

LAME BACK PRESCRIPTION

The increased use of "Toris" for
lame back and rheumatism is causing
considerable discussion among the
medical fraternity. 1t is an almost in
fallible cure when mixed with GER
tain other ingredients and taken prop
erly. The following formula is effec-
tive: ITO one-half pint of good
whiskey add one ounce of Toris Com
pound and one ounce Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla Compound. Take in tablespoon
full doses before each meal and be-
fore retiring"
Toris compound is product of the
laboratories Of the Globe Pharmaceu-
tical Co, Chicago. but IL as well as the
other ingredients can be had from any
