In the ca.se last Monday, the prosecution failed utterly in introducing evidence of a violation of the ordinance. . Allmon Davis, who. was formerly employed by Fort, was put on the stand as a state witness, but he testified that he was over twenty-one; years ot age. Che prosecution - stopped abruptly, the recorder instructing the jury to bring In a verdict of not guilty; Two warrants have been issued for Fort. One charged him .with permitting Mark Blakeney a minor, to enter his near-beer saloon. On this, Fort was tried and convicted. The other warrant charged that the minor who was permitted to enter the saloon was Allmon Davis. - As before not ed, the revolt of this trial was an ac quittal. It is well known that ihere is at least one more minor who en tered Fort's place, but rro prosecution has yet been brought on that charge; None of the minora ha been tried for violating the ordinance which prohibits their entry.

We are sorry we can't meet with the good brethren of Mor- ven every month. 'We extend onr thanks to the good sisters for the ac tive part they took, for we could eas ily tell they had lent a helping hand. Some very important measures nrpro hrnWht before the Union for consideration, and the way they were discussed showed they had beer well considered before being brought up for discussion. The meeting was the be9t yet held in the county.. The locals showed their faith in the organisation by their hearty co-operation with the county officers. Our next meeting will be held at Bethel the last Saturday in June. The meeting that should have been held in May was changed to the above date on account of the busy time the hist nf Mav. The Bethel lodge ex tends an urgent invitation to the lodges throughout the county. Ev ery lodge should send delegates; not only appoint them but send them. Come; you will see and hear some thing worth the .while. Remember, there will be dinner on the grounds for all. ' We would like for the ladies to meet with us; have a regular picnic tfhile the men are holding their meet ing and trying to educate themselves in the business methods of farming. The lack of knowledge of business methods has been one of the greatest drawbacks to the farmer. The far mers have been laboring under many disadvantages because of this lack of knowledge. They have at last twaked to the importance of eduea--aling themselves to the fullest extent in all business methods. The outcome of such education Is easily seen. The farmer will know the importance of raising his home supplies; how to market such things is he may have to' sell, and how to buy such things as will have to be bought. Remember the place and date for the next meeting. Come and bring some one with you. Let's have one of the best meetings of farmers that has ever been held in this good old county of Anson. . Farmer.
