third annual convention of the Ken
lucky Farmers union, which was In
session for three days, adjourned
yesterday at Central City, and the
delegates dispersed to their homes
over the state. The convention was
a success. and the reports showed
that the Farmers union is In SPLEEN
did condition. Next year II is in
tended to make even better reports
and plans were discussed for an en-
largement of the scope of the work.
Weather conditions prevented the
large attendance that was expected
and 1t was impossible for all OF the
delegates to be present. In many
vicinities of the state the recent
heavy rains compelled the farmers
to remain at home, while other
members were unable to leave the
farms and crops to attend the meet
ing. Despite this handicap the con-
lvention was successful. as plenty of
business was handled with despatch.
Another disappointment was the ILL.,
ness OF National President c. s.

Der of the national legislative COM
mittee. Both we're on the program
for addresses, but sent regrets owing
to the fact that they we're prevented
from attending the convention. Mr..
Patten was on the program to de-
liver an address on foreign immi-
grafton. He sent resolutions oppos-
ing the present methods of letting
in foreign immigrants. and the reso-
buttons were passed by reclamation.
Fourteen fraternal delegates from
the Society of Equity of Muhlenburg
county were present, and discussed
the proposed amalgamation with the
Farmers union. The proposed mer-
ger is now in the hands of the ma,
tional boards of each society.
When the election of officers was
called the members wanted to adj
vance r. l.. Barnett from the posi-
ton of secretary-treasurer, which he
has held for two years. to the state
presidency. However, Mr.. Barnett
thanked the members for their con-
6dence In his ability, but declined
the offer. Then the members unani-
mously elected him to his third term

sponsibilities and needs of the Union
were placed at the helm.

date and location of which will be
selected later by the state board. II
is expected to extend the work.
With this in view it is probable that
the office of State Secretary-Treas-
urer Barnett will be removed to
Louisville or some other city more
centrally located. The duties of Mr..
Barnett carry him into the work OF
organization, and frequent trips over
the state. Paducah has been the

6RfENWOOD'S FIRST
GAR OF HOGS.
Tennessee Man comes to Greenwood
and Buys Some Fine HOGS.

Greenwood has opened up and shipped
her first car of hogs. Mr.. w. A. McNeill,
Of REEVES, Tenn, arrived in this city
this week and bought car load of the
finest stock Of hogs ever seen in this
county, and shipped them to that city.
The raisers of this stock have orders
for more which will soon follow.
Planters all over Lefore county are
realizing that the raising of hogs will
be profitable, and that on all sides they
are going into it, and from the present
indications this will soon be a stock
market as well as the home of the ''long
staple king"
The shipment of the first car of hogs
has excited a great deal of favorable
talk and already predictions are being
made by business men that this will
soon be a rival to Kentucky blue grass
sections in things pertaining to the
farm.

I34 BILLS HAVE
BECOME LAWS.
Resolution Provides for Checl.lnS Ac-
counts State Offlcers.

At this session of the Legislature 1874
bills have been enacted into law, while
many more have gone the way of the
unaccepted. Of the number SO far ap-
proved 46 were Senate measures while
SO originated in che house.
Most of these bills are Of a general
nature while quite few Of them are for
relief of persons in special localities,
among the latter being one for the relief
of the immediate wants Of the employees
Of the Wesson Mills, caused by the tenn
porary closing down of that big indus
trial enterprise, throwing several hum
dred people out of employment.
A concurrent resolution which the
Governor has approved provides for the
appointment Of a competent accountant
to 60 over and check up the accounts
and books of the different State officials.
Governor Noel was specially anxious to
have this resolution passed, as he be-
bieves that the accounts of all the State
officers should be gone over by . compe-
tent outside accountant, even though it
will cost the State few dollars to pay
for this service.
Some Of the appropriation bills have
passed, but there are still. others that
are urgent and should be attended to at
once, az the pay roll Of the State has
been virtually suspended. and its en-
ployes are living on faith.

INTERESTING DATA AS
TO LEAGUE CIRCUIT.
Schedule Will Mean Quite q Savlnf OF
Expense.

The new circuit formed by the Cotton
States League is the most compact ever
framed for the organization and means
saving of at least thirty per cent. in
mileage, as compared with former sea-
son.
new league, the figures show that the
jumps are short and easy, mileage from
this city to other points in the circuit
being as follows: Meridian, 96; Hatties-
burg, 90; vicksburg, A; Yazoo City, 45;
Greenwood, 98.
The longest jump in the circuit is
from Greenwood to Hattiesburg, a dist
ance of 1873 miles, and it is hardly prob
able that the schedule makers will give
either of those teams the entire jump.
1t is an easy matter to start each team
over the circuit and maintain the mini
mum jumps.
From Greenwood to vicksburg is a
distance of 142 miles, and in arranging
Greenwood and Vicksburg schedules the
two teams will doubtless play games at
jackson and Yazoo City en- route. The
longest single jump Of unavoidable
nature in completing the circuit is from
Meridian to Hattiesburg, IS miles.
A prize of $25 and season ticket will
be given for the schedule accepted, six
copies Of which must be sent to Presi-
dent Crowder, in additional to the orig
inal fled with the president. When all
schedules are in hand they will be SUBJ
mitted to mail vote of the league di-
rectors.
