the impression that in questioning

Talbot County Farmers
Agree On Tomato Price

The farmers of Talbot county have
had conference on the tomato in
dustry, and have agreed upon a price
Of 30 cents a basket as a fair price.
Six of the largest Gamers in the
county held a conference with the
farmers. The packers outlined their
grievances and declared they could
not compete with Indiana and the Far
West if 80 cents had to be paid. They
maintained that Western farmers re-
ceived only 20 cents a basket, and
that, when packed, the tomatoes are
thrown on the market in competition
with the Talbot county product.
No definite agreement between the
Gamers and growers was reached.
When the time to sign contracts
arrives the Gamers hope to have more
information on market conditions

IN MEMORIAM

In loving remembrance of my dear
father who departed this life two
months ago, December 5, 1923.
Farewell, dear father, thy suffer
ings are over; thy willing hands will
toll no more. But oh, dear father,
how l miss you, no tongue can tell!
A truer father We could not find;
but God taketh him away; but we
hope to meet you some day over
there.
Dearest father, we must lay thee in
the peaceful grave to rest;
But, forget you? l will never, till
see your heavenly face.
Thy gentle voice now is hushed, thy
warm true heart is still,
And on thy aged and immortal brow,
is resting deaths cold chill.
Thy hands are clasped upon thy
breast, have brushed thy low
ing brow,
And, my aching heart! know I have
no father now.
A precious one from US has gone, a
voice we heard is still,
A place is vacant in our home, which
never can be filled.
In the graveyard softly sleeping,
where the flowers gently wave,
Lies the one we love so we'll in his
lonely silent grave.
Fold him, o, Father! in thine arms
and let him henceforth be a messen-
ger between our human hearts and
Thee. Yet again we hope to meet
thee, where no farewell tears are
shed. No one knows how miss you.
There could be nothing so great to
me, if I could see your precious face.
l am so lonely without you. How I
miss you, cannot express. You We're
my earthly pleasure; but some day I
hope to meet you over there where
there will be no trouble, no sorrow,
and ones burdensome task is done.
Gone but not forgotten by
His daughter,
MRS. MARY PHILLIPS.
