Great Mass Meeting of Fruit
and Truck Growers.
On Saturday, October 19th,
1812, a mass meeting of fruit
I and truck growers of the states
/of Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana
and Oklahoma will be held at
Dallas, Texas, during the Fair,
for the purpose of organizing a
Fruit and T*uck exchange to
enable our growers to get a fair
price for their products by a
proper system of distribution and
sale in the Northern and Eastern
markets. During the past sea-
son, these four states shipped
fruit and produce to the amount
of 40,000 solid carloads, besides
millions of packages by express.
In many cases the growers did
not get enough out of the ship-
ments to pay the freight; in hun-
dreds of cases, not enough to pay
a fair profit on the work and
expense of growing these pro-
ducts. The growers lost millions
of dollars and the consumers lost
the opportunity to buy, because
of the lack of facilities to proper-
... ~ly distribute the great crop of
the Southwest.,, This meeting
has been called by Col. F. P.
Holland, president of Farm and
Ranch, which is a guarantee
that everything that can be done,
will be done to make the meeting
a success. Every grower, whether
he has one acre or a thousand
acres in cultivation is invited to
be present, and it is hoped with
a large attendance to organize
an association such as the Cali-
fornia and Florida growers have,
which will give every grower a
reasonable hope of h profit on
the sale of his products before
he spends his time and money in
planting them. On account of
the Texas State Fair, low round
trip rates will be in effect from
all points in this territory. Let
every grower and the official of
every association attend.

Heard on the Corner.
Said the first farmer, "Say, I notice the First
State Bank is growing right along. How does
this bank get all this money on deposit?" "Why
just because," says Bob Wisacre, "those people
are always willing to accommodate you and try
to treat you right. They try to treat you right
whether you bank there or not. They make
you feel jusflike it was an accommodation to
them to do you a favor. Of course you'll go
there when they treat you that way." The
whole bunch on the corner agreed with him,
and although we are modest, what everybody
says must be so.

Horse Taken from Pasture.
Quite a bit of excitement was
created yesterday when a horse
was stolen from Wm. Finck's
pasture a mile north of town.
On inquiry we find the following,
as near as we are able to learn:
Ed Winn sold a couple of gentle-
men, living several miles north
of town, a bill of fruit trees
amounting to $320, taking a
horse in partial payment giving
$200 for same; the horse was de-
livered to Mr. Winn and he
brought the horse home and put
it in pasture. These gentlemen,
fearing that they would not get
the trees, came and went into
the pasture and took the horse
and went off. Mr. Winn, when
he was made familiar with what
had been done, went to Canton
and swore to a complaint and a
warrant was issued. Fred Wal-
len went to Fairview, overtook
his men and arrested them and
while reading the warrant to
them observed that the warrants
were not signed by the court, so
he returned home without the
prisoners. In the mnantime the
defendants secured replevin
papers at Fairview against Winn
tor the horse, and the end is not
yet. As this case bids fair to be
litigated in the courts we will
not comment, further than to
say: "this method of doing
things is wrong, and in our
opinion these parties will find
that they had better have stayed
with their agreement rather than
have taken the course they have
to get their horse back.—Long-
dale News.
How to Get Business.
A "culled gen'man" asked
Mose, "How com^ you all makin'
money whitewashin' all the time
when we othah niggahs cayn't
find no jobs?" Mose replied,
Say you—you doan want no job
nohow. How you all spose you
goin' to get work gallivantin'
roun' in store clothes? Why,
you got to 'splay the goods, get
yo' bresh and carry it in yo' han',
drap some whitewash on yo haid
an' smear a lot on yo' clothes.
Lawd, niggah, you's got to do
advertisin' to get tne business
now' days."
Revival Meetings Close.
The revival meetings at the
Nine Mile schoolhouse, conducted
by Rev. Spear and Rev. Ball,
closed last Sunday evening, efter
being continued a little over two
weeks. Much good was done
during these meetings, and about
fifteen became converts to the
cause of Christ. Baptismal ser-
vices were held at the river Sun-
day afternoon, when ten were
baptised.
It is regretted very much that
Mr. Spear and Mr. Ball were
unable to continue the meetings
longer, as the community was
just beginning to experience a
spiritual awakening. From here
they went to Longdale, where
they will conduct a two weeks'
Meeting.—Eagle City News.
No, our Goods dont talk.
Our customer is the chief

is your harbor in stress of weather; and with the con-
