Everything They Use Through Cen
tral Agencies—Mississippi Lead
ers Evolve Great Co-oper
ative Schemes.
O&CKSON, MISS., Sept. 26.—(Spec
yjtSji—Mississippi merchants and busi
ness' men are beginning to “view
with alarm" the numerous activities
of the state branch of the Farmers'
u&imi, and fears are entertained that
cotton planters of the state will
anon develop into a "trust' and will
uUive independent dealers and middle
men out of business. Having accom
plished its purpose of raising the
price of cotton, which lias more than
doubled since the union came into
existence, the organization is now
axpidly developing into a community
•asovement that will supply the mem-
Laers with practically every need. Al
ready the union has arranged to es
tablish a life insurance for the bene-
Jfit of its 65,000 adherents, and policies
-will be written for each in sums of
apt exceeding SI,OOO. A central mar
agency is now in operation, but
at present supplies its members with
only the necessaries of life. Flour, ;
meat and other food stuffs are being j
sfclpad direct from jobbers and manu- ,
:%mirprs having contracts with the
union, thus cutting off the profit which
aoruicrly went to the retailers. It
® stated that this plan will soon be
extended to include luxuries as well
at? necessities, and that within a few
months Mississippi farmers will be :
itaying everything they eat, and wear I
Sfcrough the central purchasing agency
erf the “farmers’ trust.” A fire in- j
astrance company controlled by the |
members of the union has been in :
anistence several months and has :
placed a large volume of business.
Organizers In the Field
The union now has a dozen organ
isers in the field and is rapidly ex-
Iteßiliog its membership in every coun
ty* of the state, until it appears likely j
within a very short time nearly ]
pce.ry Mississippi farmer will be en
gefV-d in the ranks. The leaders in
the movement state that 100,000 mem
hters are assured by the first of next
pear. New warehouses are being
luflt constantly in the principal cot- j
ten growing centers, and the union
fW'Q soon be able to place in storage
wll of the cotton raised by its mem
itftrs, to be held until such time as
flhe price demanded isoffered. As
membership in each community
Becomes sufficient to support such an

FAT WHAT TOC WANT.
Science lias Now Found the True YYay
To t'ure Indigestion.
A few years ago, when a sufferer
from indigestion went to a stomach
specialist, the result was a rigid diet
list that almost meant starvation.
But the first thing to do in the case
of indigestion or stomach weakness is
to strengthen the musuclar walls of
the stomach and intestines, so that
they will care for the food that is
eaten. In no nother way can this be
done as well as by taking Mi-o-na
tablets before each meal.
This restores strength to the stom
ach muscles and stimulates the pour
ing out of gastric juices, so that the
food is digested readily and its nuor
ishment retained in the system to
build up energy and vitality.
Do not think the sick headache,
heartburn, bad taste in the mouth,
coated tongue, spots before the eyes,
sleeplessness and the many other
symptoms that are the direct result of
indigestion, will go away of themsel
ves. The stomach must be built up
and strengthened by Mi-o-na before
you can be well and strong, free from
suffering and distress.
The guarantee that Dodson’s Phar
macy gives with every 50-cent box of
Mi-o-na, to refund the money unless
the remedy cures, shows their confi
dence in the treatment. 2,1-27-2
