A Rousing Meeting at Central
Church on tl.e 4tl».
T!i<*re was a rousing meeting of
the D»dge Condty Farmers’* Al
liance held at Central Point church
> n Mitchell's district on Thursday
July 4th. Delegates from
every lodge in the county were
present, and the meeting was a
very enthusiastic one.

elected president, Deo. W. i^ow
vice-president. J. D. Taylor,sec
retsry, and in fact, all the old offi
cers were re-elected, the
" f whom we have been unable to
get.
A great deal^jf routine budne*.
was transacted, which our inform
ant .aid he would be ready to give
m ^ or publication on about the
thir ‘d or fourth Tuesday m
week.
When th, meeting had conclud
ed its work a sumptuous .linner
was spread by the good people of
the neighborhood, to which the
children did ample justice.
After dinner President Rogers
was called for, and while it was
generally concluded by those who
saw him'at the dinner table, that
he was entirely too full for utter
ance, lie made one of the best
speeches of his life, which was
loudly applauded.
We are requested to thank the
good people of Mitchell's district
for the very kind and generous
manner in which they entertained
the visitors.
The glorious 4th was a red letter
day for the Alliance in Dodge
county, and will long he remem

COTTON FREIGHTS.
The road would penetrate a set

very poor railroad facilities, ships
about one hundred thousand bales
of cotton, and this would be large

us the timber can lye marketed.
As al present situated, land own
