RESOLUTIONS.


Will you kindly print the following
resolutions unanimously passed at our
last meeting:
Owing to the fact that a certain law
less element as night riders has
shown signs Of activity in some se.-
tions of the country and since we rec
ognize all forms of lawlessness and
crime as Numerically opposite to the
spirit and principals Of the Farmers
union; therefore be it
Resolved, That we condemn al
forms Of night riding, lawlessness and
intimidation in an effort to bring about
industrial reform.
Resolved second That we stand un-
uuestionably for the rights Of every
individual, viz: life, liberty, the pur-
suits of happiness and the unmolest-
er possession Of property
Resolved third, That we, to a man,
pledge our efforts to uphold the ma
liesty Of the law and to detect and de-
liver up the violaters Of the law.

THE COMING FAIR.

The State Fair Board have things
beginning to look like an exposition
now and a great many exhibitors are
getting their booths ready for the
great occasion. One of the most not
able of these exhibits is that of the
international Harvester Company, Of
Chicago, ILL., They are placing on the
grounds carload after carload of the
latest farming machinery and it is
figured that their production will cost
them at least five thousand dollars.
This firm is one of the largest Of it's
kind in the world, having factories in
several large cities and they make any
kind Of farm machinery. This display
alone will be worth your while to come
and see and will be an education in
itself
The new poultry house is about nm
ished and will be new and valuable
addition to the grounds.
Baldwin and his immense airship
will give a flight every day. He had
a small flying machine and no doubt
will give an exhibition Of aerial nayi
cation which will be unequalled by
anything Of this kind that Mississippi
people have ever had the opportunity
Of witnessing.
