ATTEND TOBACCO GROWERS
MEETING.

There appears in another
column notice Of meeting of
The Tobacco Growers Associa-
ticn. This meeting will be held
for the interest of all tobacco
growers of the county whether
they are members of the Asso-
citation or not and every tobacco
grower in the county. should
attend it.
The meeting will not only be
one Of Importance but great in
terest to all tobacco growers for
the reason that it win be the first
meeting of the Association to be
held since the return of Manager
Gardiner from his trip through
the tobacco growing belt of the
south and therefore, the results
Of his Investigation of the tobacco
question as it confronts the to-
bacco growers of Kentucky and
other southern states will prove
of much interest to our people.
The future marketing of to-
bacco is one of the biggest prob
lens that faces our people and
one in which every farmer is
vitality interested. The problem
has to a large extent been solved
through the organization of the
Maryland Tobacco Growers As
sociation and much success has
been accomplished in obtaining
a better market for the same,
but the pinnacle of success will
not be reached until at least 95
per cent of farmers who grow
tboacco are members of the as
ISOLATION.
Tobacco is our chief staple
crop and we cannot understand
why there are farmers in this
county and in Southern Mary
land who will not wake up to the
conditions that confront them
and lend their efforts towards
encouraging and fostering the
Association that permanent
market may be established at re-
munerative prices for this crop.
The old adage, I'm union there
Is strength, divided we fall" was
never mere applicable than to-
day in the matter of the future
of tobacco.
Commission merchants may
obtain good prices for tobacco
today and sometimes even better
than the Association, and this is
to be expected, because they are
confronted with competition. y
They are united in their efforts
to breakdown the Association
for their own advancement and
if they succeed-then good bye to
a remunerative market for to-
bacco. We are interested in to.
bacco from a financial standpoint
and we have little doubt that
were we to abandon the Associa.
ton and ship to a commission
merchant we could get few
cents more. This not because
our tobacco is any better than
the average farmer bus because
it would be another broken link in
the chain that is leading to the
success of the Association. We
believe that cooperation with
and encouragement of the AS
sociation means a better future
for our people and happier living
conditions, therefore, we urge
all farmers to stand squarely be-
hind the Association.
We hope every farmer in the
county will turn out on the 31st
and attend this meeting, whether
member of the Association or
not. No loss will be suffered but
much gained through the infor-
nation that will be given at the
meeting.

TIME AND PLACE

ONCE it was most unusual to select
~ Saturday for a wedding day, but OF
late years there is a decided preference
for this day. Then, weddings often
take place at country homes and busy
men can more easily arrange to be
present for the wedding when it comes
at weekend than at any other time.
Moreover, as evening weddings have
quite gone out Of fashion, the best
time that an afternoon wedding can
take place is Saturday, when so many
men take half-holiday.
June and October are the favorite
months for weddings, though the Easter
season is likewise popular. Among the
ancient Romans there was decided
prejudice against May weddings, as
that month was supposed to be under
the influence of spirits adverse to
happy households. June was with them,
as with us, the month of weddings, and
no time in the year vas so highly re-
garded as a wedding day as a day in
June when there was full moon. For
tunately we have no such superstitions.
However, society folk, whether church
members or not, seldom choose to be
married in Lent.
Now as for the place. The large,
formal wedding is usually celebrated in

church-more so in fact Of late years
than ever before. The fact that a
brilliant wedding party appears to bet
ter advantage in the aisles of a church
than in most private residences per-
haps has had something to do with
this. Then, of course, many persons
prefer to be married in church because
of religious associations. AS far as the
proprieties go, wedding may be held
in church, the vestry room, the rectory
or minister's study, at the home or Of
flee of the justice Of the peace, or at
the home of the bride. The hotel we'd
ding is IN good enough form, providing
the parents or guardians Of the bride
act as hosts.
Never, under any circumstances,
should the wedding take place In the
home Of the bridegroom, nor should the
bridegroom or his family provide for
the wedding hospitality, If a Young
woman of extremely humble origin
marries a man in far better circum-
stances she should be none the less In
sistent that such wedding as she has

There was nothing the matter with
the woods, he found out as soon as he
was outside. The sweet smell Of early
morning filed the air. Not even the
Ichirp of a bird was to be heard, only
the faint sound of the little feet in the
distance did Mr.. Fox hear, and the last
rabbit as it disappeared through the
trees did Mr.. Fox see
