Gladis Hughes of Rome Ca, is Wis

A very interesting meeting was
held last Thursday afternoon at the
Midway Farmers Union. The meet
ing was addressed by Prof. E. R Stra-
han, B. NJ Wooten, State organizer
of the Farmers Union, Mr.. Parker,
of Ware County, ,and Hon. ]. j. Brown
Commissioner of Agriculture.
Mr.. Brown called on thei farmers
to organize and said they would need
representation when reconstruction
days come to see that the too heavy
burden of taxes is not laid on the
farmers. He said that foreign interest
had already appeared before con-
gress asking that the price of cotton
be fixed. He urged the farmers to be
awake ond on the job to protect their
own interests. His address was we'll
received and heartily endorsed by
the crowd.
Wen have to apologize to the la
dies for criticizing them for wearing
transparent skirts, for the men are
now wearing transparent shirts we
don't think it is a matter of style
but a matter of shoddy goods, you
can almost read newspaper
through these, shirts, cheap! Have
you noticed them. If the cloth is
"adultrated" any more fellow will
have to wear two shirts to hide the
moles on his back. We got more for
our cotton, we got more for our corn,
meat, hay, sorgum ETC., but we sold
for cotton goods and other manufac-
honest goods, we expect to pay more
tured articles but we don't think lie
is fair to advance the price and make
the article inferior, that's doubling the
cost on us, examine cloth goods,
Shoes, farm tools, intact almost
every article you buy and see if the
article is not inferior and the price
advanced.
Don't forget the singing school
starts at Midway Monday August II
Protracted meeting is in progress
at Midway. Rev. E. D. Patton is
doing the preaching, come out and
hear him he will interest you.

Mrs. Sam Moon who has been visit
ing here for several weeks will re-

Four inches of rain fell here Fri
day morning it swelled the branches
and creeks and some slight damage
was done to crops. Let US feel
thankful for this fine season and the
promising crops.
Many have come to US and en-
dorsed our suggestion about sending

Forty Of the enemy attempted
to rush section of our trenches,

LONDON, May 10.-With Pre-
mier Lloyd Georges victory the
Gen. Maurice affair is seemingly
closed, in so far as it affects the
government, adding another to
the string of the premier's politi-
cal triumphs.
Some of the newspapers sup
porting Lloyd George declare 1t
marks the turning point in the
war relations of the parties.
They think an open political
war has been declared and see
the whole affair as political
plot to GUST the government.
They regard the vote on Asquith s
motion for the appointment of a
parliamentary committee to in
vestigate the charges against the
premier and the chancellor OF the
exchequer as a rout for the for
mer premier The same note ran
thru Lloyd Georges defense OF
himself and his ministry.
The opposition press asserts
that Lloyd George evaded the
issue, sidestepped an inquiry by
withdrawal of the offer OF a
judicial investigating board and
won a parliamentary victory by
legerdemain on the floor of the
house.
Lloyd George turned the accusa-
tions inside out, the Evening News
said. when he had finished
