Franklin Forks - The last meeting of the Farmers' Alliance was called to order by the President Aaron Stockholm, and the minutes were read by the Secretary J.C. Wheaton, and approved. On motion the meeting was turned into a creamery meeting and the good people finally settled the creamery question, but they are a little in the soup over the $9 they sent to Harrisburg for their charter, and also over the $2 they sent to Iowa for another charter. They were a little more fortunate in securing the Iowa charter then the one from Harrisburg, but our people are a hard set to please and so they sent back the Western charter and wanted the $2 back, but did not get it all the same, and so will drape their hall in mourning till they get the $9 from Harrisburg.
