The Farmers Union is on a |
boom on the Mount" One new
member, Rev. M. A. Stephens.
was put through Saturday and
five applications were received to
enter next meeting. The more
men we have that will push the
easier it is to push things in shape
to benefit the farmer. So let
each local rally for a revival Of
interest. Now is the time to do
things and all the outsiders will
have to do to see the Union do
its men good is to live and keep
one eye open. The right thing
to do is to all come together on
one row and hoe it. And when
the farmers do this as they should
their sun will shine the brightest
it has since Eve ate the apple.
Mesdames Warren Davis and
Olive Odum, of Raft Swamp, are
