WAREHOUSE PROSPECTS BETTER.

Prospects for cotton warehouse to be located at Marlin assumed a brighter phase today.

The Falls county farmers union, in session at the courthouse, indicated their fixed determination to establish and maintain a warehouse at the county site, provided that the proper encouragement was given them by the business community. The union attendance, while not so large in numbers, was representative and the predominating sentiment was in favor of the warehouse, and those who expressed themselves, and nearly all present did, were willing to subscribe stock. Among those who are enthusiastic, on the warehouse position are President Fields, secretary Armstrong, Paul Pieper, S. E. Fowler, J. L. Sylvester, S. O. Kelly, Will Neumann, Gus Scheef, R. M. Aiken and many others.

C. W. Adams, F. E. Hailey, L. E. Allen and J. W. Hoke, representing the committee appointed by the business league to confer with the union, appeared in open session for the purpose. The proposition was discussed at length, the committee urging that the union make some definite proposition for the consideration of the league. The committee assured the union that Marlin would give due consideration to any definite proposal that might be made, but that it was doubtful if anything be done in the absence of such a proposition.
