Dear Editor:—We are going to have a picnic at Barnes Local, about two and one-half miles south of Lu- cama, Wilson County, Friday, June 21st, and our State President, Dr. H. Q. Alexander, has accepted an in vitation to come and make a speech. The public is invited to come and Iiear him and enjoy the day with us We are endeavoring to make it one of the best in the county, and all are requested to bring a basket, and all the family. You cannot afford to miss such an opportunity of hearing a speech by Dr. Alexander. So come one and all, Both great and small. And listen to the Union’s call. Yours fraternally, M. C. HOOKS, Secretary Barnes Local, No. 1765, Wilson, N. C. ourselves. We love and fcare too much for money and we should not do that way. What we want Is the money’s worth. Money makes ras cality among farmers, and we have some weak-kneed men, and on ac count of just such things. I want to congratulate Brother Barrett on his eloquent speech about the “quit ter.” That was the best speech I ever read. He spoke of Peter, the “quitter,”^and how he came back and did more for the cause than those who had never thought of deserting. Be a soldier in battle, and as I have said, fight until we gain the victory. If you love your country and your Order, you* will stand up for your right. What we want to do now is to co-operate, and we want every farming man in our county to take sides with us and help us and to do as we do. We want better farmers than ever before. I am glad to say that we meet promptly at every meeting and we have had some mighty good ones since we were or ganized. Gentlemen, this is the first letter I ever wrote for the public to read. I am going to try to stir up every Union man’s heart in my next letter. If I don’t, I have a friend who will Look out for both of us. We want to know what you are made of if you are Union men, and what you pretend to be. I want to see a letter from every Local in Wilson County. I have the way open now and I want others to follow. I thought we were almost blind and very slow and a long way be hind others, but I find that we are not. We are trying to educate our locality and we want the Farmers’ Union everywhere to do the same, and we will co-operate as a band of brothers. Yours fraternally, W. G. BARNES. Lucama, N. C.

Dear Editor:—We have twenty paid up members in our Local and we do more business than some that have fifty. We consolidated with Pine Forest Local and bought all our chemicals and other things through the Union. Some of the brethren put their tobacco in the dry prizery. We are working on that now, and I think we will make a good thing out of it by the time the next crop comes in. Brother Union men, if we put our shoulders to the wheel and all push and do our best, we will gain the victory in the near future. I am sixty-four years old and I hope to see that we, as farmers, have done some good for the rising generation. I think the farmers ought to be or ganized and I also think they ought to have a right to price their pro duce. I prophesy that there is going to be a change in many things, so brethren I admonish you all to watch the movements on every side, for they are watching you and picking you to find out what they can. Yours fraternally, W. H. STAINBACK, President. Union Ridge, N. C. Whereas, on the |28th day of April, 1912, God, in Hi^ infinite wisdom, called from earth to eternal rest one of our most worthy members and dutiful officers, Wm. Wess Tynes, in the twenty-first year of his age. Therefore we, the committee appoint ed by the President of Tyler Local Union, No. 1700, Roxobel, N. C., take this method of recording our appre ciation of him and of giving expres sion of our deepest sympathy at his departure; therefore, be it— Resolved 1. That in the death of Brother Tyner, Tyler Local has lost one of its most attentive members and faithful co-workers and the way in which he aided his Local by faith ful service will always be greatfully remembered. 2. That the community has lost a most promising young man, his pa rents a worthy and oBedient son. 3. That we tender to his heart broken mother and other relatives our deepest sympathy, praying that God’s comforting presence may dwell with them in this dark hour of be reavement. 4. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to his family, a copy each to the Carolina Union Farmer and Ro- anoke-Chowan Times for publication and a copy be kept on the records of our Local. Dearest brother, death has laid you In your peaceful grave’s embrace. But your memory will be cherished ’Till we see your heavenly face. WARD’S LOCAL, No. 1732. Dear Editor:—I will gladly write if you will allow me space in your column. Brothers, let me tell you that we have got the wrong idea of Willie, we have missed you Since you from us have gone, But we hope to meet you brother On that resurrection morn. (Signed) J. P. BAKER, J. G. BAKER. W. A. OUTLAND, Committee. UNION AND ANSON CARRIERS MEET. The annual meeting of Union and Anson Rural Letter Carriers’ Asso ciation was held at Monroe, May 30, 1912.
