Everybody Is
Cordially Invited
To Spend Saturday at Tip. A Grand
Time Will Be Had and Several
Big Speakers Will Be Present.
Several Thousand People Will Dine at the Farmer’s
Union Picnic at the Above Place, Next Sat
urday. A Bumper Celebration.
The Farmers Union people, of Tip, are prepairing to feed and
entertain several thousand visitors next Saturday, July, 20th. There
will be plenty of fresh meats and other good eatables for all who may
go, no matter how large the crowd may be. Every visitor can feel
assured that he will be royally entertained and will dine of the best
that is to be had anywhere. We feel assured that every guest to the
Big Bally next Saturday will never regret having spent the day with
these people,—who comprise some of the most courteous and hospita
ble citizens to be found anywhere.
Messrs Comer and Comer, of this city, have the exclusive stand
right and will have all kinds of cold drinks and other refreshments
for the accomodation of the large crowd which will be present.
Several noted speakers, namely, United States Senator, Jeff Davis,
State Lecturer, H. Beecher Lewis and State Secretary, Ben L. Griffin
will address the people. Senator Davis, we suppose, will speak
against our Kepresentative, Hon. E. M. Carl-Lee, of Augusta, for
supporting the Lee-BrowniDg Insurance Bill in the last legislature,
which let foreign insurance companies re-enter the state. It has been
rumored too, that Mr. Carl-Lee and Senator Marshal H. Patterson will
also make short addresses.
Company “G,” A. N. G., of this city, and the I. O. O. F. band,
of Judsonia, are invited and expected to be present. There will be
plenty of amusement for all and the day will mark the bumper cele
bration of the season.

FARMER DECLARING
HIS INDEPENDENCE.
Correspondence in Atkins Chronicle.
The American farmer is about to
declare his independence of the
speculator of Wall street, and the
movement has not been initiated a
day too soon. The farmer has
worked and worried and his profit
has been small. The bad crops
worry were all for him he stood
the loss alone. Speculators in
life’s necessities can live as well
on a bad crop as on a good one.
We are glad to be able to show
the people who doubted that the
farmer was able to take care of
himself that he is and has made
up his mind to this system : and
they have gone to work intelligent
ly. Hitherto the farmer has had
nothing whatever to say in re
gard to the price to be paid for
his produce. Some man at Liver
pool or some mill owner iu the
north might settle the price the
cotton growers must take for his
cotton, some other man a thousand
miles or more away could settle
the price that the Western farmer
should have for his grain. The
farmer has nothing to say about
it. The banker decided what they
would charge for the use of money.
Trusts decided on their extortions.
Tariff builders decided what tax
the farmer should pay on what he
wears. Hut lo! the farmer was
forbidden to say anything about
the price of his goods. Does this
look right? Any thinking man
would say : “No.” Then we are
trying to stop what we think is
not right. And by the farmer or
ganizing they will succeed. Oh,
some have said they won’t last

but I am proud to say we are still
marching to victory, aud in place
of a few sun-burnt boys, we num
ber two aud a half millions who
say we must have a square deal
because we raise what the nations
are bound to have. The farmers
of the country are the back-bone
of the country. They develope
the nation’s real wealth which is
the wealth of the soil. They are
entitled to a full share of that
wealth and prosperity. By com
binations and by insisting on a
fair price for their cotton, wheat
and other crops and by refusing to
sell non-perishable products ex
cept at a fair price. The farmer
has already added millions and
millions of dollars from the annu
al returns of their farms and they
add more as their Union increases.
The farmer has too long plowed,
harrowed, sown, reaped, sweated
aud fretted to build up bank ac
counts for others, and paid inter
est on mortgages. We are glad
he has decided by the Union to
keep for himself and his family
which means for the people of
America that which they are en
titled. Then let us take new
courage for the very men that
laughed aud hooted at us are now
beginning to see that we mean
business. We are going to laugh
some ourselves, O yes, they think
it is all right to organize them
selves, but if the farmers get to
organizing it is “a trust,” or “he
has no right to organize and price
their stuff.” But we knbw we
are right, we know by organiza
tion we can buy cheaper, sell bet
ter and be able to compete with
other lines of business that we
have dealings with. This will en
able us to show others that they
have no right to feed upon the
farmer’s rich heritage he is labor
ing so hard to protect for himself
and family.”
It is the business of a newspaper
man to boom the city f<* all it is
worth month after month and then
see $100 worth of printing go out
of the city because 10 cents can be
saved by so doing. It is the busi
ness of the newspaper to give local
enterprise enthusiastic and fre
quent “send offs,” and then catch
shoel because he failed to record
the fact that some prominent citi
zen has had his house painted. To
subscribe liberally to every public,
charitable and church enterprise, i
advertise them for nothing, pay I
his own way to everything and
then be called predudiced and
mean spirited because a column is
not devoted to that particular affair.
Do you wonder that there are so
many cranks in the newspaper
business? It is bound to make
either a crank or a philosopher
out of a man.
The happiest man in the laud
today is the successful farmer.
He sits under his own vine and fig
tree, undisturbed by the madden
ing noise of the great city. Banks
fail, railroads go into the hands of
receivers, booming towns collapse,
all business stagnates. But the
wise farmer can snap his finger at
these things. He is the monarch
of all he surveys on his broad
acres. And the honesty of his
boys and the purity of his girls is
guarded against temptations, and
in them he is giving the country
its best manhood and womanhood.
The farmer is to be envied, and, if
he is not contented with his lot, he
is lacking iu wisdom.
