FARMERS EDUCATIONAL i
 kkD COOPERATIVE UNION OF AMERICA -
Farmers and the Farmers Union.

Farmers and the Farmers Union.
 How does the income from the farm CTS labor in proportion to his hours compare with that of other laborers?
 In discussing this question there are several factors to be taken into consideration. First, most farmers are part capitalists. as well as laborer, and we must credit part of his in- come to his capital. His teams, har- ness, implements. feed, and seed, and also his land. if he is a landowner, are so much capital, for which we ond, the families of farmers can and do help more toward earning the living than the families of other classes of laborers. Even a six-year-old child, on the farm, can do many little turns l by which it can learn it's salt" and even earn part of its bread
 In order to make the comparison as nearly equal as possible, take the case of a farmer who works another mans farm for one-half the income tor pos J, nished him by his landlord Then the living of the family may be said to depend entirely upon their labor. But even in this case the different members of the family have a much better op- l portunty to assist in earning the liy- ing than in the cases of most families i living in town.
 Now, a wage-earner in town is sup posed to be able to support family in respectable style. almost entirely, by working eight hours per day when he has steady work Thanks to the results of organization. But where can we find even one farmer who can do this, unless he has q considerable amount of capital to assist his labor, to say nothing of all of them doing so. Even a man who owns a five thousand dollar outfit. consisting of land and supplies, must work more than eight hours day in order to make ends meet properly and lay up a little each year for old age
 Now, we don't want to be understood as begrndglng the Wage-earner what he has gained by means of his union. for we believe in labor unions. as well as in farmers unions. The point intend ed is to show that farmers ought to strive as earnestly and as successfully to improve their conditions. as wage earners have done and are still doing.
 The farmers independence that We hear so much about is nice thing no doubt, but he should have an income sufficient to support and educate his family in a manner beftting an Ameri- can citizen. And in order to secure this he must devote enough time, money and earnestness to his union to enable him to price his own pro- l ducts.-Gnion Farmer.

ANNUAL MEETING OF GRAND
LODGE, K. OF P. AT
CLARkSVILLE.

Bhe Grand Lodge Knights of Pyth-
las will hold it's annual meeting in
.Clarksville this year, beginning July
IA, and lasting three days. Interest
in the meeting is about at the same
pitch as in previous years, though it
is possible that larger crowd will at
tend from Nashville than has visited
any of the previous meetings, on ac-
count of the nearness of GAINESVILLE.
The Grand Lodge will be opened on
Tuesday morning, July IA with DR.. j.
P. Crawford, who has been Grand
Chancellor continuously since the in
stitution Of the Grand Body, in the
chair. While no regular programs
have been received in Nashville, so
far as The Globe is able to learn, it
is thought that GAINESVILLE will fol
low the other cities and have public
exercises which will be participated
in by the city officials and prominent
Knights from over the state.
The Court of Calanthe, of which DR..
R. F. Boyd is Grand Worthy Counsel
lor, will meet in the same city on the
same date.
1t is expected that the Uniform
Rank from over the state will be in
GAINESVILLE and will make a gala
showing, as several new companies
have been organized. Among the
prominent Knights who will undoubt-
eddy attend the session are Sirs A.
w. Fite, r. E. Gee, j. A. o. Broughton,
j. B. Bate, A. NJ CocErill, Geo. e.
Washington, VIM. Allen, w. Blaine,
Dr.. p R. Burrus, S. ], Chandler, JOS.

not be on hand this year

FAMOUS GRAVE MYSTERIES.
Druce Case Not the First Of the Kind In
Criminal Annals.

Lead filed cofins and sham funerals have repeat
edIy figured in Great Britain in celebrated cases
and have entailed great expense in the courts
There was for instance, the action brought oy
James Annesley in Ireland in 1743. In which the
claimant successfully proved his right TO the three
fold peerage of Anglesey, Valenti2 and Altman II
transpired that he had been kidnapped wnen a
youth by an uncle, who had caused him to be
sold into slavery on an American plantation. his
death and burial being subsequently arranged
to I,II the suspicious of the tenantry on the es-
tates.
The prince of impostors, Prov1s Snyth' put lof-
ward in 1853 his claim TO the lands and ttle OF
Sir Hugh Sr1yfh. He took the precaution 10
forge a tombstone and would have snuggied an
ernuty coffin bearing a false inscription into the
family vault had not the cemetery authorities
been on the alert
The reverse of this process is where grave is
burial was a sham one. This occurred in Great
Britain in connection with the funeral OF the Earl
of Crawford and Belcarres. The vault was broken
into and tie body removed and buried elsewhere.
Discovery Of the crime fUlowed hard upon It's
perpetration but who originated 1t remained a
mystery The only person brought to justice was
: rafcstrher named Soutar, who could not by any
means have been alone to blame in the matter
Next comes the Druce case. which has cost
courts for period of ten years. The discovery OF
the body In the coffin put end TO the claim that
nobody had been buried.
