~ A correspondent asks us to cor
rect a mistake relative to the amount
Of money necessary to organize a
grange, as Published in our paper last
week.
The numberof petitioners required is
10 men at SO each, and six females at
50 cents eaeh-the whole amounting to
81 petitioners and SIS instead of 30
petitioners and $50 as published by us.
At the time Of organizing it is not act
ually necessary that more than men
and i've women be present, and the
highest number Of charter members al
lowed is 20 men and 10 women, all of
whom can be Initiated at the above rates.
After organization the initiatory fee is
larger. We make these corrections
eheerfully.
Since the above was in type we have
received the following from Capt.
Blackburn, Deputy for Giles County:
BRICK CHURCH P. o. Dec. 2, 1873.
The minimum amount it takes to
form a Grange is $4S, and the maximum
Is 500. 10 men and six ladies the small
est number to organize with. Men at
50 and ladies at so cents for charter
members, and 20 men and 10 ladies the
greatest number for charter mem bers
Please make correction in last weeks
issue as to the matter.

EE A gentleman I'm the south end is
very much troubled with a stray heifer
that drives his COW away from her feed
and eats it when he is not there to watch.
He hit upon a happy expedient to
punish and get rid of the pestiferous
thing the other day, and he almost
danced for joy when he thought of it.
He took the dish pan and filed it with
boiling water and started out to give
her n "dOs.t" His COW was used to
watch his coming with eyes that grew
brighter rs he came, and on this Occa-
sion she was more than ordinarily in
qnisitive in her demonstrations, so
much so that she hitched her nose un-
der the pan and overturned it, the con-
tents gliding gently into our hcro's
boots. He first jumped double-shufile,
then backed down about car length
and trotted two or three Virginia reels
at once, cut thirty-eight pigeon wings,
and danced three sixteen-couple cotil-
lions. He talked some with his mouth,
also, using language not found in the
catechisms, and then he crawled to the
house, and when our reporter left he
was sitting with his feet wrapped in
flour and hung over the back of a chair,
with the moth running out of his mouth.
