There are ten sub alliances in Brooks
couuty. Thursday a business committee of
ten held a meeting at tho court house at

sion. Still it is reasonably certain that the
committee had under consideration the

could purchase supplies, and especially gu
ano at minimum prices. It is practically

no definite and satisfactory conclusion. It
is a. noticeable and significant fact that
farmers belonging to the alliance have not
yet purchased guano, nor made guano con
tracts.
