A Rare Treat

The farmers meeting held at
the, court house last Saturday,
was one of the rare treats which
SO seldom come to Milbank 1t
was in the address of Hon. 9. A.
Windle, of Chicago, National or
ganizer of the American Society
of Equity. Those who availed
themselves of the opportunity of
hearing the gentleman were more
than pleased with his address.
He is a very forcible aud eloquent
speaker, and the only regret was
that the court house was not
crowded as it should have been
to hear him.
He handled his subject, "The
Organization of Farmers" in a
very able manner. and the most
skeptical could. not fail to see
that this organization is working
for the bestinterests of the far
mer, and that through organiza-
ton and co operation they will
receive profitable prices for
farm products. He says that
when the farmers are prosper
Gus the business men are pros
perous in a like proportion, and
the whole country is prosperous.
Many business men who do not
understand the plans of the so.
ciety are using their influence
against it, fearing a repetition of
the grange and alliance. But the
plans are quite different. In.
stead OF setting the price on the
other mans products, we as far
mers are simply asserting our
right to set the price on our own
products, the same as other
producers do, to the end that we
may all receive profitable and re-
munerative prices for the pro.
ducts of our labor.

sections Of the state. Not only Is he a
successful farmer but an excellent
musician. The bride is a popular
young lady of our community and is
also a good musician and an excel
lent soloist. At the urgent request OF
some of the guests the crowd was en-
tertaiued by several Instrumental
selections by the groom, q solo by
the bride and a duet by the two. The
pair are certainly we'll mated and the
Milledgeville people should c%ongratu-
late themselves in having so talented
a couple in their midst. They start
for their new home Tuesday. The
best wishes of their friends follow
them.
