A RESOLUTION On selling for future delivery---We the members of the Terrell County Farmers Union condemn, in the strongest terms, the selling of cotton for future delivery, as practiced by some of the farmers. We believe it to be one of the most hurtful schemes to the producer of the staple in getting out from under the clutches of the cotton speculator and gambling dens of the country. We also ask all non-union men to co-operate with us in our efforts to abolish such practice, that we may market our cotton to the best interest of the producers. We ask all the papers to publish the above. J.A. Ferguson, Pres.; G.F. Smith, Sec.-Tres.----Dawson News. MRS. LIGHTNER ENTERTAINS Mrs. J.S.
