Francesville Farmers Institute.

“The Farmers Institute on Monday and Tuesday,” says the correspondent of the Winamac Republican, “was well attended and voted a success by all who were in attendance. The addresses by Prof. Huston and S. E. Kelsey were well received and provoked a lively discussion on the subjects treated of. Mrs. Clara S. Everts won many friends by her manner of discussing the subjects assigned to her. The music furnished by the choir was excellent and a number of recitations given by young people of the town was greatlv appreciated. The center of attraction in the hall was the exhibit of agricultural products. The corn exhibit was very large and fine and demonstrated that the soil of Pulaski county is equal to the emergency when called upon to raise the cereal. Other exhibits were good. Winamac was selected as the place for holding the next Institute and Nate Rawn, president and C. L. Bader, secretary for the coming year.” The premiums were awarded as follows:
