The Farmers Forget Petty Differences
And Unite in Stronger
Bonds Than Ever.
A Unanimous Vote of Thanks and
Confidence rendered the
Board of Directors.

best and most enthusiastic meeting ever
held by the farmers and settlers on
the North Side tract. The meeting
was made up OF actual farmers whose
experiences have fully demonstrated the
perplexiiies attending the settlement Of Il
new country They came to obtain in
formation, and after listening to the var
ious reports made, were fully convinced
that the erroneous reports that have been
circulated, had for their only object, the
disruption OF their organization.
From the fact that these reports were
considered Of interest only To the mem
bers of the organization, and the further
fact that it was purely business meet
ing for the election OF officers, the meet
ing was confined to only members OF the
organization.
Immediately upon calling to order,
Mr.. Oliver Hill, who AT the last meeting
was appointed committee to ascertain
the figures relative to the settlement be-
tween the Company and the farmers,
presented his report, which was accepted
and placed on file.
Mr.. O. j. Wilson on behalf OF the di-
rectors then followed with an explanatory
report, which gave FULLY the details con-
nected with many oi the settlements.
Thercupon a motion was made that tie
thanks OF the Association he rendered
the board of directors, and that they
have the full confidence ol the member,
of the Association. This motion wa:
carried unanimously.
