prisoned there twelve hours. When,
freedom was finally secured, 1t be-

A Weird About Jordon, The Corn
.. Man.

Some few weeks ago. in one OF
our weekly: papers, it was advertised
that there was to be an Aericultu-
Fist deliver an address in Monroe
City. Being interested In that line
of work and ever anxious to learn
something new in regard to the
soil and it's products. l journeyed to
town in due time, upon the set day
l. made Inquiries of several mer-
chants where the speaking or meet.
ing was to be held. the answer was.
didn't know anything about a meet.
ing or speaking. So after several
inquiries with the same results, /
made up; my mind that l had been
misinformed andswaS preparing to
return. home when a boy who had
overheard my conversation, stepped
up and said there was something
going on at the City Hall. So
went down there and found possibly
a dozen men, with overcoats and
caps pulled down The day was
old and no fire and there found
JOrdon, the Corn Man. To say he
received a cool reception is putting
it mildly but it was talk or freeze
so he got up. introduced himself
and began to talk TO an extremely
small audience. Every farmer in
the vicinity, big, little, old or young.
should have been present and heard
Jordon. AS the Paris Mercury says.
He's the John the Baptist, sent TO
redeem the worn out land and pro-
tecting the best, by educating the
people how to tarm so as to protect
and build up his lands. His talk on
corn and soil, was by far, the best |
ever heard, practical and common
sense; his doctrine should be every
farmers recipe. | only regret that
more of my fellow farmers, could
not have heard him and Mr. Hill
who made very interesting talk
on good roads, but | am opposed to
his form of road taxes. My theory
is; to elect good road overseers and
let each neighborhood turn out and
work their own roads. | am for
Monroe and vicinity first last and
always, but certainly the citizens
and farmers, made a great mistake
in the welcome and appreciation
shown Jordon and Hill. The next
time they come here, they have a
special invitation to speak at
Buchanan Grange and we will turn
out a crowd of farmers, and show
the courtesy and appreciation due
them.
