How Is the pardon spot by this

respectable Union men have a garden.
Keep your dues paid, but If you
muBt neglect some-thing, It would ho
absolutely better to let the dues go

Now that the schools are all open
again, It Is a good time for the fathers
and mothers to get acquainted with
the teachers and do something to help

WATSON AND THE UNION.
In his "Jefl'ersonlan" Doc. 20 Tom I
Watson gives his Ideas of the Farm-

language:
"In my Judgment the Farmers' Un-

"With one accord, the noble, unself-

cry out:

The success that has been attained
by the use of the split log drag In
many places In Texas nnd In Mis-

FARMERS' JOURNAL JOTTINGS.
No man can hold cotton who has
nothing but cotton to hold. Tenants

cotton, and It is not really t.hel.s at
