The Farmers' Friend.
The following is from a Missouri
farmer's address before a farmers' in-
stitute: "As a rule the farmer knows
no firmer friend than the county press,
The home paper is distinctly the farm-
ers own paper, supported directly or
indirectly by the farmers wh > compose
the backbone of the printer's subscrip-
tion list and largely for what the enter-
prising merchant advertises. Now,
brethren, let us not forget our friends.
Let us see that our subscription is paid
before the lirst of January, and a year
in advance if we can afford it. The
man or the paper that lights myjbattle
must have my support. Another thing,
the merchants who advertise are ^the
ones who make it possible for us to get
a good local paper; andj.the |men or
firms who are too penurious to adver-
tise and help support the local press
have no right to a farmer's patronage,
I propose, therefore, to go to a good,
live, local advertiser, and thejman who
will do his share in supporting the local
press, thus contibuting to my support,
rather than to buy of the man who
proposes to take all and give nothing in
return."

Muskogee has anembryo Mrs, Chad-
wick in the person of a negro woman
