Creamery Company and county agent

Hon. ]. B. Hunt, banker of Eatonton,
and was for number of years the on
ly county witha creamery in the State.
With the advance in price of cotton,

have practically been bankrupted on
account of the scarcity of feed stuff
they are now selling off ONE of their
dairy herds and it is probable that
some real bargains may be secured.

Basis of New Conflict Laid al
Meeting, if Townley and
Friends Resist

Basis Of new conflict with A. G..
san League executive committee was
laid by the North Dakota league
executive committee at Il meeting in
Fargo Saturday afternoon.
The state committee demanded
that the Nonparti5an Leader, Week
ly, official publication of the Non
partisan League of the State, be
turned over to the state executive
committee. This is the same course
that the state committee pursued
with the national committee in res
pcct to the Courier News when the
first disagreement broke out be-
tween the Liederbach and other fac
tions of the league.
The Nonpartisan Leader is pub
lished under the cirection of the
National executive committee of the
league. 1t is called a "Townley
Organ" by many leaguers. The lea
que membership fee in North Dak-
ota contributes to it's support.
Townley's position has been that
the state organ of the league must
be kept in the na,:onal committee's s
hands to prevent it getting in the
hands of a factio., Of the North
Dakota league. He is, however
said to be willing to turn the Lead
er over to the state committee.

/ Wexford and Mrs. c. A. Fisher three

respect to the sale of the Courier
