FOUND IN THE GREAT
ers' Union, are we not advan-
cing in civilization and l h *
science of economic govern-
ment? Who can say the Union
has done no good? We teacii ;t
higher conception of our duty a
citizens. Take some good farm
papers and learn the latest in
agricultural life and thingsjper
taining thereto.
Use the golden rale in the ap
plication of these principles and
you have the Farmers' Union. I

The wonderful Palmetto, with its great fan-like leaves and
profusion of golden berries, has at last given up its secrets. For
ages these ever living trees have been throwing out hints of
their hidden virtue, but not until quite recently were they fully
appreciated or understood.
The dark skinned natives knew, in fact, the great "Fan
Tree," as they called it, was their family doctor. Like our
wonderful Cinchona tree, we knew of its general curative pow-
ers, but little did any one think that it held within its bosom the
now world-famed quinine. Finally some fertile brain conceived
the idea of a medicine made from the Palmetto, and no sooner had the suggestion
been made till the wheels of science were in motion, resulting: in one of the greatest
medicinal discoveries in modern therapeutics. 'The root, the^bark, the berry—all
have been made to contribute their share toward the completion of this valuable medi-
cine. It has been proven that there is no better restorative now known for the
Stomach, Liver, Kidneys, Heart, Blood, Nerves and general debilitated
conditions. Just a few doses will start the blood tingling through the veins, restore
the appetite and renew digestion. It drives the yellow from the skin by purifying
the liver and kidneys. Diseases cannot exist in the same body with this
great new discovery. It is a powerful uric-acid solvent and will completely ban-
ish Rheumatism, Lumbago, Gout and their accompanying ills, such as
Insomnia, Headaches, Backaches, Nervousness and that forever tired
feeling. Do not despair if your case is chronic. Thousands that had long ago
given up hope of ever getting any better are being built up and permanently cured by
this wonderfully unique remedy. Every bottle of it is sold under a positive guarantee.
If it don't cure, just take the empty bottle back to your druggist and get your money.
That's all there is to it. Be sure and ask for Drakes Palmetto Compound.

Has the Farmers' Union done
aof good? Are we benefited by it?
The answer to the first question
would be yes. Then if it has
■done any good and we are ben-
etited by it, the question arises,
what has it done and how are we
benefited by it. This question
brings us to the place where it
involves many more which are
so large and so broad in their
sphere that it would enoircle the
Southland, yea, the whole agri-
cultural interests of the United
States.
This question was not intended
to put the Uuion on trial for its
life, but that its merits may be
shown to the|world, What the
order really is and for whal pur-
pose was it instuted, is a more
vital question. Let us discuss
these purposes. It is founded
on three great principles. First
to establish justice; Second
secure equity; Third, to apply
the golden rule among its mem-
bership. To these enda i% has
tried to discourage the e #dait and
mortgage system. To.assist its
members in buying and selling.
To educate the agricultural
classes in scientific farming.
' To teach the classification of
orops, and domestic economy,
and the processes of marketing.
To systematize methods of pro-
duction and distribution. Tto
eliminate gambling in farm pro-
ducts, by Boards of Trade,
cotton exchanges, and otber
speculators. To bring farmers
up to the standard of other in
dustries and business enterpris-
es. To secure and maintain
profitable and uniform prices for
grain, cotton, live stoek and
other products. To promote
harmony and good will among
all mankind and brotherly love
among ourselves. To garner
the tears of the ♦ distressed, the
blood of martyrs, the laugh of
innocent chidhood, the sweat of
honest labor, and the virtue of
the happy home as the brightest
jewels known.
If we have learned the first
three principles of our order-
justice, equity and the golden
rule, we have done much. If
we have been able to grasp the
meaning of these three express-
ions, if we have been able to un-
derstand them and apply them
to our lives, what a lesson we
have learned! Who can
measure the good that has come
to us? It is. Hire bread cast
upon the waters to be gathered
many days hrmce. If these
things have become instilled in-
to our lives, wnsitnot ths\ or-
ganization of t,he Farmers' Un-
ion with these principles em-
bodied in its purposes, that
taught.them to us? These three
moral virtues applied to the
liveaofour young people will
insure a patriotic and noble cit-
izerc.bip that no other country
excel.
The Union is intended to ben
how to do it, and by co-opera-
tion work together for the good
of all. Let us learn the crops
that are most profitable to us.
What particular crop pays best,
what crop is adapted to a par-
ticular soil, best methods of cul-
tivation, most, economical means
of harvesting and marketing are
some of the questions that should
receive our attention. This
may be largely done by co-oper-
ation, marketing together, sell-
ing direct to the factories, and
aud thereby eliminate the mid
die man and his share of our
cotton. This should be not only
in selling, but also in buying.
We thus save a margin at both
ends of the line. It is hard to get
the farmers to do this, They

Young Reader!
What may WORTH no merit?
What may DARE i ot do?
Here's a story. Hear it
Heed its moral too.
A few years ago, a dozen stu
dents gathered in an old frame
building in East Texas, with lim-
ited means poor equipment, n ;w
systems aud scant, reputation,
but strong in faith and untiriug
effort, the little Bind of teach-
ers met boldly the abuse and
hiander of revivals, toil«-d on-
ward hour by hour, and stand to-
day proudly at the head of the
gre.it, business colleges of the
Union least in age, largest in
annual day enrollment Its 1500
aunual enrollments, drawn from
over half the states and several
foreign ccnitrie?, show wh -t
energy, thought, worth and
tireless effort can do. There's
a lesson of labor and hope for
you in the success of that school,
the Tyler Commerical Collegeof
Tyler, Texas. There's encour-
agement amit dark surroundings,
there's success by preparation
and constant, well directed toil.
Take heart from the origin
and splendid success of this great
college, for bright skies and easy
couches can yet be yours thru
faith and effort.
There is much talk and no lit-r
tie severe criticism of the action
of the City Council in having
the public phone removed from
the depot. There is no other
place where the people general-
ly would receive such benefit as
at the Texas & Pacfict depot.

attempt to explain its scope and
purposes. We shall merely
hurt at the great good it has ac-
complished.
What was the financial condi-
tion of this country when this
order was founded? What did
we sell cotton for then? What
is the highest point reached
since then? Was it not by the
co-operation of the Farmers'
Union that this was brought
about? The speculative world
saw that their demand was
just and by co-operation their
demand was secured, a thing
which would never have teen
accomplished without co-opera-
tion, When the furmiaLrs are
not organized, the speculators
pay no attention to what the
farmers say; but when the
farmers are organized and stand
together, and the speculators
know it, they will pay attention
to what they say, and not other-
wise. Let us educate ourselves
