now financial agent for Union county,

security do not need the states as

they are likely to spurn such assist

Furthermore, we believe you should
have taken into consideration the fact

and money to plant a crop CANDLES

state should assume a part of the

believe a farmers note, secured by

vision that the note shall be can

We trust that it is not too late for
you to change this policy in such a
way as to carry out what we are con-

we has hoped you would devote a
amount to the purpose Of in
