JACKSON BUSINESS
 MEN TO AID FARMERS
Largely Attended Meeting at Board of Trade at Which Plans and
 Suggestions Are Made

Jackson, Miss. August 12.-tspeciai) The Board of Trade held a largely att tended and profitable meeting last night, several matters of general interest be- ing discussed, and a number of sugges- tions made for the betterment of condi- tions around as well as in Jackson.
 The matter of establishing a produce market was discussed at some length and a committee appointed with instructions to report at the next meeting as to what can be done. It has become a very mo- torious fact that 1t is often hard mat ter for farmers to dispose Of their pro- duce when they bring il to town, or when they offer it for sale. A wagon load of Irish potatoes, corn, hay, peas, etc, must be hauled all over the city and sold by retail to anybody, there being no buyer for such stuff. and tanners are often forced to the necessity of taking their produce back home or give it away.

conducting number of Bible classes
and is actively cooperating in Sun,

OF the activity OF the association in
this religious work, has received the

which explains itself:
CHICAGO. Feb. 10 Dear Mr..
Burns: One of the most remarkable
religious movements of our day is
known as tbs organized adult class
movement Its real promotion began
/ in 1905 when the International Sun
day School association made it one
of their active departments. Since
that time 3s,79s classes have beer
organized and registered, an average
/ OF eighty-six classes per week. 1t is
also significant that from 1905-11 the
Sunday school membership OF North
America showed a net increase OF
about 100000 The greater part o,
this increase is in the adult depart
ment and most OF the balance is large
ly the result of the influence sxerted
by the adult classes. The movement
is all the more significant and hcpefu
because it is distributed Throughout
every state and province OF Nortf
America.
This growth in numbers, however
brings to our association new ant
large responsibilities. These classe;
must have adequate leadership or tn
movement will cease to make pro
gTess and they must be guided to pro
grams of active influence and servic,
or the movement Will fail to accom-
plish what it should.
Mr.. ". C. Pearee has been super
I intendent Of the adult division OF tn
International association since 1905
With th= cooperation OF all adult
greater results can be obtained. Ma,
ne count on your cooperation Your
