for secretary, and both were elected
without opposition. The president ap-
pointed G. l.. Cureton, G.. T. Martin
and j. r. Falls as committee on ere
dentias and their report was adopted.
The temporary organization was then
made permanent. Upon taking the
chair Senator O'Dell thanked the peo-
pie for the favors shown him and con
fldence placed in him and said he had
discharged his duties conscientiously
and as best he could. He asked now

Good seed corn. adapted to the
