FARMERS INSTITUTE
And Teachers Meeting will be Held
at Leon on Dec. 3, a and 5th.
Special Prizes are Offered.

ON Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Dec.
8, 4 and 5, promises to be the most sue
eessful session yet held, and the only
thing which will prevent it being a
grand success will be the failure of the
farmers and other to attend. A splendid
program has been prepared, and large
number of special prizes have been
donated by Leon business firms for ex-
kibits of corn, oats, wheat and butter,
and corn and stock Judging contests.
The award OF the prizes offered by the
Leon Commercial Club for the best five
miles of road leading to Leon will be
made at this meeting. Every farmer in
Decatur county should take an interest
in the coming institute and be in attend
ance. Much good can be obtained by

will be a big increase over former
years.
