F. E. & c. U. OF A. PICNIC AT TIP.
The bumper celebration of 1907
was given by the Farmer’s Uuion,
at Tip, last Saturday, in which
several hundred people participat
ed.
Congressman R. B. Macon,
Senator Jeff Davis, State Lecturer
H. Beecher Lewis and Represen
tative E. M. Carl-Lee addressed
the people on the principles of the
Farmer’s Union.
Senator Davis very severly at
tacked the vote of Mr. Carl-Lee in
the last legislature, relative to the
Lee-Browniug Insurance bill, and
also went after Speaker Hamiter
and John Ike Moore. The Sena
tor, too, failed to show his love for
any of the members of the general
assembly who supported the above
bill.
There was a good dinner and
plenty of it for the large number
of visitors, estimated at about
1250.
The Farmer’s Union is a grand
organization and not-with-standing
the great benefits already derived,
there is still more good to come.
After hearing the talk by H. Bee
cher Lewis upon this occasion, we
can’t see why every farmer don’t
join this band of brothers who are
striving for his benefit the same as
their own.
Everybody seemed to be well
pleased with the day’s celebration
and the good work beiDg done by
the Farmer s Union. May we
have the pleasure of spending an
other day, soon, as we did this
one, mingling with the best peo
ple that the sun ever shown upon.
COUNTY UNION MEETS
The regular quarterly meeting
of Woodruff County Union was
held at Tip, on the 19th., inst,
with Pres. R. C. Cody in the chair
j and Sec. E. W. Chaney at his
desk. Almost every Local in the
county was represented,there being
present about 25 delegates and al
most that many visitors. Quite a
lot of business of a private charac
ter was transacted among which
we give the following.
Minutes of last meeting read
and approved. The President ap
pointed Rev. Jas. Fowler Chaplain
pro tern.
One of the most important acts
of the assembly next followed,
whe® the Union unanimously
made the Woodruff County
News the Official Organ of Wood
ruff County for the F. E. & C. U.
of A.
This being the regular time as
provided in the constitution for
the election of officers for the en
suing year, great interest was
centered in that event.- All other
business was suspended and the
election of officers taken up which
resulted as follows.
R. C. Cody unanimously re
elected President. F. M. Rhodes
and J. R. Robertson were nomina
ted for Vice President. Rhodes
elected by following vote: Rhodes
12, Robertson 10. E. W. Chauev,
D. C. Berry and W. H. Burns
were nominated for Secretary
Treasurer. Chaney elected by the
following vote: Chaney 19, Ber
ry 4, and Burns 1. 1). C. Berry
was unanimously elected County
Lecturer and Organizer. Jas.
Fowler was made Chaplain by ac
clamation, J. H. Simmons was
made Door-keeper-unanimous. J.
H. Holder, M. C. Quillin and J.
E. Moore were nominated for the
office of Conductor which resulted
in the following vote : Moore 18,
Holder 2, and Quillin 2. Moore
was then made Conductor-unani
mously. The following members
were unanimously made the execu
tive committee : W.A. Elam, J. W.
Lee and J.R. Robertson. H.T. Mil

...At HAMILTON’S.
8, were unanimously elected as
follows. J. T. White, R. C. Cody
and H. T. Miller.
A very pleasing feature of the
meeting was a talk by E. W.
Chaney who has been attending
the cotton school at Memphis.
One of the most important of the
many points brought to light in
Mr. Chaney’s address was, that the
very short space of one sixteenth
of an inch in the length of the
staple will amount to as much as
$5.00 on each bale.
After the address just made by
Mr. Chaney the meeting adjourned
until after supper, at which time
the newly elected officers were in
stalled and State Lecturer, H.
Beecher Lewis made an address
in open session of the Farmer’s
Union.

the grounds each day and many
incidental items of interest, pleas
ure and social distinction.
Each of the ladies elected will
reigu one day as State Fair Queen
and Hostess and during the other
days of the Fair will be a promi
nent personage iu the retinue of
the reigning queen.
