OF the brightest and most attractive

While appreciating the social advan-

lively interest in the betterment of all
rural conditions. The most cordial
relations exist between the business
men Of the towns and the farmers.
Banqueting the farmers in both large

of entertainment. In one town over
500 farmers were ivited to a most de-
licious and bountiful board. In short
the spirit Of hospitality prevailed every

were sometimes served the farmers just
before they started home.
