The Grange advance., 1874-03-04


special arrangements are made.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Imitation of the CURRENCY is the lat
est name for counterfeiting. We might
here say that as yet there is no bill before
Congress, providing for this particular
mode Of imitation.
. There have been about 5000 new post
Offices established within the last four years,
and this only furnished at the ratio of one
out of about 10000 who wanted to 90 into
the post Office business.
The project of building a steam Touring
mill at Pennington seems to be advancing
towards an accomplished fact. A gentle
man from Vermont, by the name of Ayotte,
is also looking up the chances in that vicn-
ity for establishing a irst-class cheese fac
tory. We don't believe he can find better
place. We shall rejoice with our friends
at Pennington if they are successful in ac-
complishing these two grand enterprises.
On the Oath inst. Mr.. McClain offered q
resolution in the General Assembly Of Ohio,
expressing earnest sympathy with the Wo-
mans Temperance movement, and declar-
ing the liquor traffic to be the greatest So
cial, moral, and political evil Of the times
The vote stood A against to 40 in favor,
and the resolution was lost, but the women
will keep on just the same.
Mr.. Josh Ashton, = tax gatherer of Red
Wing, has been moved to open his mouth
and say that the GRANGE ADVANCE is the
most abominable, lying sheet he ever saw.
We fancy it must have been poor day for
taxes, whereby the sweetness of Joshua's
temper was turned into sourness In max
ing the above remark Joshua had no ref
erence to the resolutions Of the Hay Greek
Grange published in former issue.
The Light Of the Age has just made its
appearance at Brownsville, Minnesota. 1t
is little three column quarto sheet. Why
the editor has allowed the present age to
roll on in darkness so long, when such
very little thing would have furnished light,
We are unable to conceive. Whether he
will ever give the world little light on
this great mystery, is = question upon
which we are unenlightened. At any rate,
now that he has got the thing lit up, let
him see to it that it does not snuff out, and
thus hurl US back into the darkness and
barbarism Of 1873.
We congratulate ourselves upon having
our paper as general thing free from ty-
biographical errors. But in the last
issue we notice the following mistakes.
In the article entitled "What the Millers
ssy about the railroads. in the second
sentence read: g The fact is, the whole
railroad system has been one of such rapid
growth that it should be perfect and free
from wrong, Is simply impossible, even if
railroad men were saints, and they s. amt"
and the crawling, etc. In "Notes from Wi
mona County," in speaking Of the rings,
read, !" Here they are, look at them" And
in the editorial explaining the rings read,
"On the circumference the word Patron.
while under the plow is the word deep"
