F0rmer Union
Haze Good Time
In G0dSden

The five delegates from Marion
county to the annual state convention
of the Farmers Union report having
a very enjoyable and successful trip.
The farmers of Gretna, Gadsden
county, where the convention was
held, extended to the visiting mem
bers the utmost good fellowship and
hospitality. They opened their homes
to visiting members and entertained
them royalty, and when business ses-
sions were over, took them for auto.
mobile rides over the beautiful red
clay hills of Gadsden county. Their
tobacco crop was just about harvested
and Gadsden farmers were being paid
some seven million dollars for it.
Other crops in Gadsden were the
best our delegates have seen in many
a year. Large fields of sugar cane
and corn, such corn produces forty
to eighty bushels per acre.
The invitation of the Ocala Board
of Trade to hold next annual meet
ing of State Farmers Union in Ocala,
was unanimously accepted and next
meeting will be in Ocala. Let US hope
that we will be prepared to show
farmers from other portions of the
state what Marion can produce, crops
that will not suffer by comparison
with those this year in Gadsden
1t is unnecessary to urge cur peo-
pie to show them good time for
Marions hospitality has never been
questioned.
Respectfully,
AUBREY FRINK, Secretary Eel

DIVIDENDS

The following editorial from the
Rome, (Ga.) News on a subject that
has been discussed quite good deal
the last few years, is timely, If new,
way of handling the subject. Says
the News:
Dividend, distribution of profit
on shares. Not always. Not even
half the time. If that was all, how
poor so many would be. AS it is, how
rich so many are.
THE babe, asleep on its mothers
breast-dividends surely. The smil-
ing child, peering into its fathers
eyes with all the confidence in the
world-more dividends. Romping
kids, playing in the town streets or
the country fields-somebody's divi-
dends. Boys and girls the world over
dividends that put old Six Per
Cent to shame 365 days year.
1.-THE bride on her wedding day
more dividends for father and moth
er. The son, when he succeeds IN
the big struggle, wins a promotion
is chosen to high office-dividends
again for pa and ma.
Children are assets in the eyes Of
their parents at least and they de-
clare a dividend with every smile
with every flash Of their eyes, with
every kindly act.
Children are not too good TO be
true. but certainly are true enough
to be good. Big families are never
bankrupt. They are, as matter OF
fact, richer than Croesus. And Croe
sus was an old Moneybags himself

One vote for every 25 cent purchase,
or five votes for every one dollar pur-

obtain vote person would have to
buy 25 cents worth at one time, or If
he made one dollar purchase he
would be given five votes. A register
will be kept at each sales booth and
the name of each candidate listed as
entered. A five dollar gold piece will
be given the prettiest girl and green
backs to the ugliest man, with which
he may buy treats for the prettiest
girl. The gold piece is intended as a
souvenir
Your humble servant will not enter
the contest, as it would be an open

one else, but with me out of the race
know several that have an excellent
opportunity to win.

WILL A SPECIAL SESSION BE
CALLED?
Governor Cats has Asked the SUI
preme Court for RuIing-The
Call Awaits the Courts
Decision
The Pensacola Journal says:

The Pensacola Journal says:
Escambia county women will not be
registered for the general election un-
til Governor Cats issues a proclama-
tion to that effect, according to an
announcement by Registration Officer
j. A. Kirkpatrick. A delegation from
the Pensacola Equal Suffrage League
waited on Mr.. Kirkpatrick for a state
ment and was told that no fnstruc.
tions had been received from Talla-
hassee and that until such instruc-
tions are received their names cannot
be added to the polling lists.
Governor Cats has asked the SUI
preme court for ruling on the Law
and if favorable opinion is received
he will issue a proclamation directing
ali county registration officers to pro-
ceed to enroll women voters.
Should the supreme court decide
that the laws must be changed by the
legislature, the governor will at once
convene a special session Of both
houses so that the statutes may be
made to conform to the nineteeneh
amendment
1t is not believed, however, taat
any special session will be necessary.
The courts is expected to declare all
parts of the Florida law which do not
conform to the nineteenth amendment
void, thereby striking out the word
male" wherever it appears, so that
all persons over q years of age, etc,
ETC., shall be entitled to take part in
the general election.
Registration books are now open
Monday, Wednesday and Friday OF
each week from 8 a. m. TO II noon,
and from 2 to p. m. at the central
office in the court house annex. They
will be kept open until the second
Monday in October. Books will be
open in the various precincts begin
ming with the second Monday in Sep
tember and continuing until the Sec
ond Monday in October. All books
close on that date and persons whose
names do not appear on the ron will
not be permitted to vote.

Farmers Meeting

The attention of the public is call
ed TO the fact that the farmers are
not in a position to sacrifice the pres
ent peanut crop. Quite number of
the farmers, not being satisfied with
the last years hog sales quit the hog
business and are preparing to market
their peanuts.
Now TO have TO market their pea
nuts at a loss, such as the present
market indicates, viii bring disaster
TO many homes. and therebyIessen
the already declining agricultural ac-
tivities of Marion county.
Seeing the likelihood of such con-
ditions approaching, and believing
that the time to prevent such a ca
lamity is now. am therefore calling
meeting Of the Farmers Union to
meet in 0cala on September 18th,
1920. 10 A. NJ
The peanut growers of Marion and
adjoining counties are especially ask
ed TO come and take part in the de.
iberations of the day whether you
belong 20 the Farmers Union or not,
you are needed and welcome, also the
business and professional men Of
ocala and towns in adjacent counties
are asked TO be with US.
Watch next weeks issue of your
paper for program.
