FOR THE FARMERS

President G. R. Hightower, of the
Mississippi division of the Farmers
Union, announces the appointment of
a committee composed of Prof. w. H.
Smith of Durant superintendent of
education of Holmes county; Prof. E.
R. Lloyd of Starkville, director of
farmers institutes under the A. & NJ.
College, and Hon. H. E. Blakeslee of
Jackson, commissioner of agriculture
and commerce, whose duty it will be
to prepare and assign subjects for dis
cussion once a month in the various
local branches of the Farmers Union,
all relating to the various sides Of
agriculture.
The purpose is to educate the farm
ers in every part of the state in bet
ter farming methods, teach them the
value of various kinds of fertilizers
for varying conditions of soil and many
other things which many farmers are
not now presumed to know.
The plan was decided upon during
the recent state conention of the or
ganization, and will be carried into
execution as soon as the committee
can get together and outline their
work.

Woman's Christian temperance Union

The w. c. T. U. of Hattiesburg have
won laurels they we're not aware of
until the last issue Of the White Rib
bon came out, which informed them
they had won three banners. The
News announced about three weeks
since, the reception of one banner
which was in possession of the secre-
tary, Mrs. T. o. Watkins, but it was
not known until very recently they
mad justly won two others.
This is record-breaker, and every
one in Hattiesburg should feel proud,
as well as highly honored over the
laurels the noble Christian women are
winning for their union. The cause of
temperance, the noblest cause ever
espoused by man or woman, is receiv-
ing no little aid from the efforts Of
that noble organization. The greatest
curse that has ever been visited upon
fallen humanity is the dread curse
of rum. Fifty years hence, when the
open saloon has been relegated to
the realms of histories past and the
question is asked, What was the most
powerful agency in breaking the
shackles of rum from the hands of
our civilization" Truth will answer
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, and the Hattiesburg Union
shall play an important part in every
thing connected with the breaking
down and casting out the dread evil of
rum. Every woman in Hattiesburg
should Join in this noble work, and
use their time talent and money for
the cause of temperance.
