of encouragement and aid from
those farmers who desire to im-
i prove agricultural conditions and
^elevate the rural citizenship of our
county. The Union is growing
rapidly throughout the South and
now has a million members. Al
ready it has been instrumental in
helping the farmers of the South
in many ways.

other points in the county.

a careful record of Newnan’s re
ceipts, are as follows:
Receipts to Dec. 1st this season,
11,721 bales; to same date last sea
son, 13,(570 bales.
Stock on Dec. 1st this season.
