Farmers Claim $4,000.

Local branches of the Farmers Union
throughout Mississippi have elected dele
gates to the State convention which as
sembles in Jackson on January II.
The number of delegates to which
county locals are entitled is specified in
the constitution and bylaws of the or
ganization, based on membership, and it
is expected that the State convention
here in January will bring a much larger
attendance than heretofore, owing to the
growth of the organization during the
past year.
Secretary Russell estimates the mem
bership growth in Mississippi for 1908 at
$4,000. which gives the Farmers Union
$4,000 active members in the State. and,
on this basis, there will be fully 400
delegates at the State convention.
