BRYAN TO AID FARMER
NOW SALOON is GONE.

New Your, Sept. 16.-William Jen-
nings Bryan, speaking in the baseball
park here to-day, told the Interstate
Farm Congress he has turned his at
tention to the middleman, now that
the octopus OF the legalized saloon
has been permanently banished.
Il say to you," said the commoner,
in indicting the middleman, that the
farmers condition is worse today
than it was thirty-one years ago when
/ entered Congress. This year he
sells at prices down and has to buy
at prices up. They are getting the
same price for their wheat that they
received forty-one years ago. They
get the same for their corn they did
twenty-one years ago. They are pay
ing 100 per cent more for what they
have to buy.
"The middlemen are growing big
ger and heavier all the time. They
are organized. In every capital they
have their lobbyist. ] know that and
met them when ] was in public life
myself. The farmer must turn his at
tention to this unfair combination.
The producer must be protected on
one side and the consumer on the 9TH
er.. If something is not done the
number of farmers is going to de-
crease because they will simply be
driven out of their business"
State and municipal trade commits
sions modelled after the federal trade
commission were proposed by Mr..
Bryan as the most affective step that
could be taken.

AUSTIN

Last Sunday afternoon at 4:30
o'clock, in the home of Presiding El-
der H. A. Butts, of the Southern
Methodist Church, Mr.. Herman Aus
tin and Miss Marguerite Haggard were
made man and wife, Elder Butts Off
ciating.
The groom is the younger son of
Esq. Jones A. Austin, one of our most
highly respected citizens, and is a
young man against whose good
name and reputation We have never
heard word of criticism.
The bride is young, a daughter of
Mrs. Maud Haggard, who came to
Lexington from Kansas a few years
ago, and is a granddaughter of Hon.
and Mrs. P. o. Roberts. She is a
young lady of sufficient attractions
of person, mind and disposition to
entitle her to be considered as worth
her weight in gold.
The "Old Man of The Progress"
smiles on young marriages so bids
Herman and Marguerite Godspeed on
their journey together through life.
