FARMERS INSTITUTE

Will be held at the court house, Feb. 5, 1896. A program has been made out and will be supplied freely. In order to make this institute a success it will be necessary for a united effort on the part of country and town people. We will have need of all the help we can get. This will include all occupations, the invitation being not to farmers alone; ministers, lawyers, doctors, merchants, tradesmen, laboring people of all kinds, are invited to attend and take part. Other counties are making this institute work profitable, why can’t we? The speakers engaged to lead, on the subjects named in the program, are highly recommended as thoroughly practical men. We expect to have other subjects discussed by local speakers. WEDNESDAY PROGRAM. morning session 10 to 12 m: Institute called to order by president. Invocation Rev.
