When a man has reared a family o.

GRAND and SUCCESSFUL MEETING.

Last Thursday was a great day in
Marion. The +. f. and G. L. Of A.
met In regular session at the court
house. There we're ore than nine
ty delegate representing the thirty
four locals of the county, and it is
useless to say that every delegate, as
we'll as other members, present, we're
deeply interested In the workings Of
our great movement.
The address Of President johnson
was charac eristic of his unquestion-
able ability, and was received with
entnusiasm and eagerness from both
union and non-union listeners. His
address was delivered along the line
of the purposes and principles of the
order 1t seemed that all present,
believed it was good to be there.
Much business of importants was
transacted to the satisfaction of all
present, and a feeling of harmony
prevailed throughout the session.
The writer has been in the county
union every session except one since
its organization at Mexico in Janu-
airy, and can see marked change in
its workings. 1t seems that the
farmers are more alert than ever be-
fore. 1t seems that every one feels
that he j. a part of the whole and
that If one should shirS his duty it
would effect the body Is whole
And when we all have a keen sense
of our duty we will soon have what
should be ours-the right 10 price

Brethren, let u, endeayor to stand
closer to each other than ever before,

well as marketing season. Is the
hardest time for united action of

hind Us and attend to the marketing
of our crops ia the most sensible
manner.

indeed sorry for the man or men that
that think a. Mr.. Franks thinks or
says he thinSs. but Mr.. Franks don
believe what he says in this regard.
but tries to make people believe a
party or president can or does raise
prices on farm products for politicsl
reasons. The republican party is no
more the cause of the pr sent prices
on tobacco, wheat, corn and hogs or
any thing raised on the farm than
President Roosevelt was the cause Of
the panic last fall The republican
speaker, tell, the farmer. that Grow.
er Cleveland was the cause of the
hrrd times in his time and that
president Roosevelt had nothing to
DO with the panic last fall What
do farmers think of such talk as that?
We think it Is poor ralc tina will
not work both ways. The moue9ed
men puts the prlc' or rate on his
money Just a. the variou, farm or
carnations are fixing the price, on
their crops which q, right so le' the
