Thoro was it mooting 1 1 c 1 < I a t the
Frfog Pond school house lust Sat
urday for tho purpose of organiz
ing H Loral Cotton Growers Ahmi
elation. Tho meeting w?h called
to order by Judge Solomon Noitell,
who in a few well chosen remarks
stated the object of l.ho meeting.
Mr Oils Iluntor was elected 1 * i f h i -
dont and Prof. Burton Hindi See
rotary. Al r. Iluntor on taking (he
ohair, referred hriellv to tltu de
pressed condition of our cotton
growers anil said that, tho truo
rnmodv for all our ills is just laws,
that tho thing for us to do is to
send good men to Gongiosa and
tho Legislature.
Am aoon as the orgnni/.-vtion wan
a (Tooted Mr. Alex Smart introdue
?d tho URnal resolutions with an
addition of threo w here/Bsc* and
seven resolved?, after speeches bv
several of our leading farmers, it
seemed that the Bontiment of the
mooting was unanimously in favor
of tho resolution a. Hut just as
the ohairtran was about to put
them to tho house Judgo* Noitall
took the floor and in n thirty min
ute speech completely knocked the
bottom out of them. Ho said that
now is tho time for the Frog Pond
farmers to pla nt. every aero they
can in cotton, that now when evcrv
one else 1b going to reduce, ia the
time for us to expand. He hud de
voted much tune and thought tV.
the subject. Jle liad out a deck of
cards three t linen and eurh time ?* i
n ten spot card, which i* an infall
ible sign that cotton will hring ten
cents next ' ? 1 1 - (Hut ho had , not
trusted to his own powers of look
ing into tho future.' He had * got
Mrs. Sorccr to turn a cup for him
nnd the grounds had formed a per
fect ten. Not onlv had ho done all
this, but to he doubly sure nhoitt
the matter, he had consulted that
final authority on nil future events,
Dr. Wytche, who had fully assured
Lim that cotton will bring ten chills
next tall. ?
After tho Judges powerful speech
?ve*y one present, without waiting
for a vote on Mr. Sin a it's resolu
tions, started home to prepare foi
ling to town on Monday to make
..Arrange me tits about tetting gunno.
Dr. Cir,tino recently performed
one cif the moat, wonderful opeia
tions known to the histcry of kiii
gory. It yrn* ihr ex^han^ln^ of
the sen I pa of Miss Hertha H inus
and Dinah Ivhinkilwd. Now
Hertha does not have to nit up
nights putting her hai# in papers,
nor does Dinah have to friend all
her spare tiuie wrapping heVs with'
strings. The operation /W pro
nounced by the Frog P^d Indies
t he crowning triumph of surgical
science.
