Notice of Farmers’
Union Meeting
To the members of the Farmers’
Union of Freestone county:
Our County Union will meet
with the Boggy Local, at Free-
stone, the 1st Thursday in July,
this being the 4th day Now
let every local send a full dele-
gation. Brother, we organized
fora purpose—that was to edu
cate ourselves along better
farming and a better marketing
system, which is our only salva-
tion, and if we ever change this
system of cut-throat marketing
we will have to do it through
organization, in my humble judg
meat. I feel like we are just at
that point, if we could get our
farmer brother to stop and think
just for a moment, that the en-
tire world is at bis mercy. If
he should fail se£ bow quick all
Other business will fail. How
then would things go if we were
to stand together for our just
profits? We would get them
without any trouble. The busi-
ness world has recognized that
the farmer should have a fair
profit for his labor and are will-
ing to help us if we will only do
our part and quit waiting for
the other fellow to do what we
should do ourselves. Now let
every local that is suspended,
reinstate, send a full delegation
to our County Union, and then
let us elect our best men to fill
our county offices and stand by
them so as to build Up our order
in Freestone <y;unty? Come to
the County Uf on, there is busi
ness of importance.

This is to certify that Foley’s Honey
and Tar Compound does not contain
any opiates, any habit forming drugs,

harm its users. On the contrary, its
great hedling and soothing qualities
make it a real remedy for coughs,
colds and irritations of the throat,
chest and lungs. The gennine is in a
yellow package. Ask for Foley's Hon-
ey and Tar Compound and accept no
substitute.

and Jess McLendon, of Mexia,
owners of the Headlee Drug Co.,
of Fairfield, were here Monday,
and endeavored to secure a new
location for their business, but
were unable to rent, and could
not buy a lot to build on. Fair-
field business property may not
be very valuable to look at, but
there is none of it hunting a
buyer.

Preparations for
Teague Chautauqua
, i The editor recently had the
pleasure, in company with Col.
J. L. Tail and E. J. Headlee, to
visit the Park where the Chau-
tauqua will be held. We were
surprised to observe the costly
improvements that have been
made on the grounds, which
have been beautified in various
ways. Secretary Headlee in-
formed us that $3000 had been
expended on the buildings, $800
on cement walks and the foun-
tain, $500 in improvement of the
grounds, and $1000 in fencing.
A fine graded driveway has
been made in addition to the ce-
ment walk, and there is a flower
garden which promises to be
beautiful when the plants de-
velop.
Rest rooms have been built,
also baseball and croquet
grounds and a tennis court.
A large cistern will be on the
ground and kept full of ice
water. We could find nothing
left undone to make the Chau-
tauqua a success.
Calomel Is Bad.
But Simmons’ Liver Purifier is de-
lightfully pleasant, and its action is
thorough. Constipation yields, bil-
liousness goes. A trial convinces. (In
yellow tin boxes only.) Tried once,
used always.
