 W. A. Simpson and H. A. Morgan, two farmers living at Morgan's cross roads, are the leaders in this move ment to get the farmers together in a definite group.
 At the organization meeting there will be well known speakers, and it is believed there will be an expert in marketing from the United States az ricultural department.

 BRAIN CHILD OF
 JUDGE WILKINSON
'tContinued from Page One,

over the troubles that beset their soldier boys is true. That they refuse to con demn those boys before they are heard in their own defense is likewise true, and just as true is it that they will
 leave no stone unturned to see that they get a fair trial.
 They do not condone the crime with which those boys are charged. They would see simple justice done, but they do not want to see it distempered with vindictiveness
 ITO hold them up as a county of shrewd schemers is going beyond the province of a conscientious officer of the law.
 Judge Wilkinson is my friend, and 1 believe in a cooler moment he will regret his words and make what amends he can to a stricken but proud and honorable people.
