The viewers for the Barkley road which has been petitioned for by S. C. Irwin and others, are A. J. Bellows, Sylvester Gray and Jas. McClannahan.

Everett Halstead Delegate to Farmers’ National Congress.

Everett Halstead, of Newton township, received notice last week that he had been selected as one of the Indiana delegates to the Farmers’ National Congress to be held at Columbus, Ohio, Oct. 12th to 16th. As the most progressive farmers are chosen for the honor, the appointment of Mr. Halstead by Governor Marshall is a distinct compliment and we are certain that he will faithfully discharge the delegatory duties. It is the 31st annual session of the farmers’ congress. The distinctive purpose of the congress is to consider broad questions of national importance which concern agriculture and to voice the wishes, of the farmers by means of resolutions. Prominent speakers will be present and address the meetings, including Hon. W. M. Hays, assistant secretary of the department of agriculture. President Thompson, of the Ohio state university, will also address the congress. Governor Harmon, of Ohio, will also be one of the speakers and possibly Gilford Pinchot will deliver an address on conservation. Prof. Christie of Purdue university, is on the program. One half of the session of farmers will be devoted to visiting the state agricultural college. Mr. Halstead will attend the congress, leaving here Wednesday for that purpose.
