FARMERS’ INSTITUTE.
An Interesting Meeting at the Court
House Thursday.
The meeting of farmers to organize
a Farmers’ Institute, which was ad
vertised for Thursday of this week,
was quite a success, though Col. C.
H. Jordan, chairman of the House
Committee on Agriculture, who was
on the programme for the leading
speech, did not come. He was de
tained in South Carolina by sickness,
and was unable to travel. About
twenty-five or thirty of the leading
farmers of this section were present,
and they spent an hour or two very
pleasantly. '
The meeting was organized by the F
election of Rev. H. D. Keith, of
Dawnville, as chairman. Col. Wal
ter M. Jones then introduced Col.
Walter G. Cooper, of the Atlanta
Journal, who made a splendid talk,
after explaining the cause of Col.
Jordan’s absence. He stated the ob
ject of the meeting and the working
of the Institutes, and dwelt upon the
great help they were to the farmers.
His talk was clear and strong, and
everyone present was deeply im
pressed with him, and fell in love
with fie Institute idea.
Owing to Col. Jordan’s absence, no
Institute was organized Thursday,
but the meeting adjourned to meet
the first Monday in October (first day
of court), when Col. Jordan will be
here and the Institute be organized.
A committee, composed of Capt.
Geo. W. Head of Tunnel Hill, M. S.
Charles of Phelps, and A. J. Miller
of Dawnville, was appointed to work
up interest and advertise the October
meeting. It is a strong committee,
and will do a good work in that di
rection.
Col. Walter G. Cooper made many
friends during his stay here, both for
his paper and for the Institute cause.
He visited many of our factories,
orchards and leading business con
cerns, and you can look out for a big
writeup in the Journal.
