Yes, they want to destroy the Farmers' Union because it gets in the way of some poor little souls of greed, who do not know what love of country is E. F. WALLACE, M. D. I will write for the first time to our good union brothers in regard to our little local, Spring Hill No.

71. We have a nice little lodge out here, but it seems to me that they are on the drag. I think we need a good lecture on unionism. Well, I have not been a member of the union long and you can see that I am powerfully green on unionism and principle's. We have not accomplished anything of any interest since I joined the union.

I haven't ordered anything through the union but I am thinking about sending a little order. Well, brothers, if we will all, and when I say all, I mean each and every one of us, will just stick together and all press forward in the same direction it won't be long until we have Won the victory. There is but little cotton raised this year and in some' parts of the country very little corn, and let me say right here that we farmers have just got to begin to make our living at home. Quit raising so much cotton, raise corn, meat, potatoes, molasses, and what cotton we can sell. Well, I will close for this time, with best wishes to the union and its members.

LEVI MAHAFFEY. Sontag, R. 1. EXPRESSION WE CAN ENDORSE. I wish to -express a few things through the columns of the Advocate: First.

I want to speak of the capitalist buying up the great universities of the country and placing their chosen managers in charge; they call them professors, such as Eliot, of Harvard, and Foster, of Chicago. Others of their sort are placed in charge of other universities, and what are they doing? They are absolutely trying to tute the1 church of Christ through their teachings in these schools, ignoring the Bible and Divinity of Christ, destroying the world's only standard through the past and for the ages to come. What is to be the result of their ungodly teachings. If they should be able to establish the Eliot and Foster religion in the world atheism, infidelity, profligacy and chaos would be the result. The question is will the Christian world "stand for It? The course being purstTed by predatory wealth is becoming a great menace to the peace and happiness of the world.

The level headed sober thinking people will certainly have to begin to think and act very differently when it comes to placing men in authority anywhere. They will most assuredly have to drop, the lawyer and politician in all governmental affairs. they try to do it? I think so, as fast as they find oui what capitalism is bringing on. The country people must think seriously about the things that concerns them. Now we want to say something in reference to Hon.

G. R. Hightower. our beloved president of the Farmers' Union of Mississippi, a man of ability in everything he may engage in, a man of sterling worth, true as steel to his country in every respect. A patriot in the truest sense.

Yet we see some people among the commercial and: political elements trying to defame his good name. However we are inclined to say "lay on McDuff," the more you try to down him the further up you push him. We are impelled in the matter, we "must speak in his behalf because we have known him personally for many years and we know there is no purer or better man. Their object to destroy the poor farmers' it. WARD.

Local No. 786. PLEASANT GROVE LOCAL NO. 1216. Allow me a few lines in the columns of your paper.

I have been a member about three years, and I think my money is well spent when I pay my dues. I don't expect to reap the greatest benefit myself, but I have three little children and I don't want them to walk the same old clody road I traveled. I want them to make corn fields, cane fields, pea fields, potato fields and a cotton patch, and I am going to live more at home myself. I have been making cotton fields and corn patches and my hog pen was in a round pine tree and my smoke house has been in St. Louis.

May the Lord help us to quite all such stuff and get busy, live and die union men and women. My best wishes to all of the Advocate readers. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. UNION ARROWS. The farmer who works with his brain lightens the work he does by ha-nd.

Among other things the Farmers' Union means co-operation between the producer and consumer. Where the union is not as strong as it was it is because the work of education was neglected. The business of the farmer is affected by laws which the politicians make, and to the extent of securing good laws the union will be in politics. In nearly every instance you can trace bribery to the door some corporation that has already been granted some special privilege. The politicians have been free to advise the Farmers' Union to stay out of politics.

They would do well to take some of that advice to themselves especially the kind of politics they deal m. The fruit men have found that without co-operation fruit raising does not pay, and that with co-operation it does. The same can be truthfully said ot other branches of farming. Out of the waterways in this country could' be made the finest system of transportation in the world, and capable of saving the people millions of dollars in freight. As a rule the merchant who' opposes the Farmers' Union is of the kind that has been farming the farmer.

He wants a big profit" on what the farmer sells as well as on what he buys. A man who will do a dishonest thing to get into office will be dishonest after he gets there, and under the present system of partisan politics it. is difficult for him to obtain an office without standing in with dishonest men. Whatever stands for the advance ment and upbuilding stands 'for the good of the And whoever opposes that which makes the business of the farmer prosperous is not a true pajriot Every woman strives to acquire and preserve a clear, faultless, rose-and-lily complexion. This is apparently the height of the feminine ambition.

No more fallacious epigram was ever-penned than the one which says that "beauty is only skin deep;" and no greater mistake can possibly be made in endeavoring to gain a clear, pretty complexion, entirely free from pimples, blackheads and other skin blemishes, than the use of cosmetics, powders, lemon juice, cold cream, electric massage, and various other treatments, which aim at the complexion alone, and have no effect whatever on the blood, or on the general system. Whenever you see a person with a clear, flawless complexion, you may be assured that its perfection depends, not on the local application of the many fad treatments on the market, but exclusively upon a pure, wholesome condition of the blood, and upon its active, vigorous circulation through the skin. It is the blood which gives the skin its rosy color, and although electric massage, and other local treatment? may draw the blood temporarily to the surface of the skin, it cannot keep it there. Only a strong circulation can do that. When the blood becomes impoverished and the circulation sluggish, the complexion, as a natural sequence, becomes sallow or "muddy," and pimples, blackheads, "liver spots," and other skin troubels put in their appearance.

One box of STUART'S CALCIUM WAFERS, which are taken internally, will do the complexion more good than all the cosmetics, beauty powders, cold creams, electric or manual massage, will do in a lifetime. These powerful little wafers cure because they strike at the root of the trouble They purify and renovate the blood so completely that the complexion cannot do otherwise than beeome clear, flawless and free from all skin blemishes. Besides relieving the system of every particle of impurity, and thereby cutting off the source of the skin diseases, they also build up the blood, greatly increasing the number of red corpuscles in its current, and invigorating, strengthening and improving the circulation so decidedly that a wonderfully' brief period the cheeks become rosy, the complexion clear, the eyes bright, and the whole system glows with renewed life and vigor. Secure a package of this blood-cleaning, complexion-clearing and system-renovating remedy from your druggist for SO cents, and begin the treatment at once. Also send us your name and address and free sample package will be sent you.

Address F. A. Stuart 175 Stuart Marshall, Mich. FEELS THE GOOD OF THE UNION. Dear Editor: I am a member of the Farmers' Union and am proud of it, and of the gocd it is doing.

I sometimes think we ought to feel like the children of Israel when Moses led them out of bondage. I speak this in praise of Mr. G. R. Hightower as he has made it possible for us to sell our cotton without the speculator.

Please advise how I can buy through the Farmers' Union as I am preparing to do my buying that J. M. IIOBGOOD. Leflore, Miss. SEMINARY WAREHOUSE.

I will write a few lines as some of the brethren may think we are doing nothing at our warehouse at Seminary. But, if so, yojL. are mistaken. We are almost daily receiving cotton. On Friday, October 22nd, Brother P.

A. Mixon came in and says order one bale of my cotton sold at once. I wrote the central office at Jackson on the noon train to sell bale of cotton No. 17105. They sold same that day after receiving my letter for 14 1-2 cents per pound.

Cotton was only bringing 13 1-2 cents on the streets that day. So you see brethren the advantage of selling through the warehouse system. Now are you as professed union people going to take advantage of this opportunity or are you going to give the other fellow the money that you should "put into your own pockets? Let's see who has the backbone to say I will store my cotton in the warehouse though I do not receive any more for it than by selling on the streets. This Brother Mixon made a clear gain of $2.60 above all expenses on his cost of storing is small as compared to the gain you may make by selling through the warehouse system. 1 am your for the success of the warehouse, R.

PATRICK, Manager. FROM HARMONY LOCAL NO. 718. Dear Union Advocate: Please allow me space to say a few words in behalf of Brothers. H.

Flake who was taken sick the last week in May and has not been able to work any since. Brother Flake is a member of Harmony Local No. 718 and been loyal to the order. He was also a member of the Farmers' Alliance in its day. He has led "a pious, Christian life and worthy of imitation.

He is 63 years old, has a wife of the same age and two grand sons to provide for. These children was left in the care of these aged people when very small. At the death of their daughter. The little boys with some help from their neighbors and friends worked their corn crop, but failed on cotton. Brother Flake's sickness has gotten him in hard luck financially.

He owes two hundred dollars for doctor's bill and other expenses. Just a little help from each local will be a great help to him. All secretaries will please read this before your local. If any one will help him, send it to Mr. S.

H. Flake, Brownficld, Miss. Yours fraternally, J. N. WILLBANKS, Secretary.

Walnut, Miss. BROTHER WARD'S AMEN. Will you allow me a small corner in your paper to say a few words in favor of the Farmers' Union. We are getting along fine. We have a few backsliders, but they are coming in one and two at a time.

We have between 40 and 50 members that are in good standing. I saw in the paper: where one of our members had written a letter to the dear old Advocate and said that some of the members thought that the union was about1 busted, but that-there" was-no leak in it yet, and if there was, we farmers have got a swegt potato to.
