FARMERS QUARTERLY MEETING

According to announcement, met
with the Combee Local, Oct. 10th a.
10 a. m.
The meeting was called to order
and few short addresses were de-
livered by different ones for the good
of the public. but perhaps all were
not benefited thereby. because all
will not give a listening ear. but
many good thoughts were dropped
which are food for thought to the
attentive listener. And this recalls
to mind lesson which ! learned
when but a school boy, and 1t was
this: Our teacher never gave out
a word but one time. and SO taught
us to pay attention to what We heard
and ! appreciate that one lesson.
Two hours were soon gone, and
We were adjourned for dinner and a
bountiful feast was spread on the
long boardtable. SO generously pro.
vided by the good people of that
thriving community. And, say,
brother, that barbecued beef and
pork makes an old timer think of
icns time ago when beef didn't cost
SO much. I'll bet if our good friend,
llcthcrineton, would como ont to
sCmc of these Farmers Unions that
you would have rs hard inc keep
ing him away as you would have
keeping hound dog from following
Il butchers wagon Ell?
Back to the subject. The Farm
crs' Union is not making the prog
rcss it should. neither does il receive
the consideration it So justly de-
serves. But time, patience and per-
severance will a mighty victory win
over the most difficult problems in
life. The Union is slowly but surely
making itself felt throughout this
mighty nation. If all the nations
OF earth would hammer the battle
slips into pillow shears and swords
into pruning hooks. and let cach
nation throw around her sister tho
mantle of love. and stand firm on
the principles of justice. equity and
the Golden Rule. what a happy pros
porous people W. would indeed be.
