AGENT ANDERSON

AGENT ANDERSON
Many Resolutions BY Farm Bureau
Meetings, and Many Letters and
Petitions Sent in His Behalf-Coun-
ty Commissioners Discharge An
derson Because of Personal Dislike.
Following we reproduce minutes of
several meetings of Sheridan Coun-
ty, Farm Bureau held throughout the
County i'm the past two or three
weeks.
The farmers are demanding that
the Farm Bureau use their utmost in
fluence to bring about the. retainment
of County Agent Anderson as county
agent of Sheridan county.
There is no reason why that An
derson should not be retained as he
is a very efficient man and the only
difficulty is that Jud Watkins and
some of the old loot gang don't like
him.
