His Communication LES

We were in Judge Dupre's Of
flee a few days since, when he
exhibited to US several letters
commencing his communication
to us sometime since, wherein he
suggested less advice to farmers,
more practical help.
One of these was from Mr..
Arthur Collins, wherein the writ
err says among other things:
Your communication about
the farmers was read with pleas
ure. In my opinion when a man
is in power and evidences an in
terest in the welfare Of his peo-
pie, then we know he is their
friend and he should be given a
chance to return to office. By
doing this it affords him an op-
~portunity to assist the class of
people who are SO much in need.
Many people are willing to
give the farmer advice, but few
there are who are willing to as
sist him. It is time that the far
mers unite and see to it That no
man should obtain Office who is
not in line with their needs. Ii
some of our advisers ate cotton.
it would be my pleasure to get
out on a rainy day and feed it to
them. You are quite correct
when you write what we want is
less advice, more help
From New York came a letter
from Ebert Hubbard, the south

the following language:
December Il, 1914.

favor of the 9th inst. received.
