Reported for the VERMONT FARMER.
Fnosburgh Farmers Club.

This club held their second annual fair on
the I4th, in S. b. Il G. w. Hayward's store
at West Enosburgh. About 200 people
were present. The farmers began to come
in about nine O'Clock, and by eleven there
was good show of crops as we'll as people.
The show Of corn, potatoes fruit, and veg
etables was far better both in quality and
quantity than at the county fair.
While the men were looking over the ar
ticles on exhibition the ladies were in the
hall above preparing dinner. At 1890 the
president called the meeting to order. Tho
choir opened the meeting by singing, prayer
was offered by Rev. X. Morgan. After
another piece by the choir the president an-
uounced that dinner was ready. After din.
ner, which occupied about two hours, Rev.
Il. Morgan delivered an address, whech we
we'll give next week. Henry Hopkins read his
paper entitled "The Farm and its Manage.
ment," followed by few remarks from Mr..
Stearns, OF New Hampshire.
The meeting was success in, every re-
spect, aud all seemed to enjoy themselves
very much. A list Of exhibitors aud arti-
Giles exhibited is uuavoidably omitted for
want of room.

PMOItSher's Notices.


Now IL the Time to Form Clubs.
Those who have read the FARMER, have seen that IL
not only advocates the principles Of concentration and
cooperation among the farming ard other producing
classes but II proposes TO he governed by those prnc
pies itself Its subscription rates put clear down
to the lowest possible figure for subscriptions In clubs
10 be paid for in advance. It's rates particularly
favorable to Grangers Sovereigns, Farmers Clubs,
and the like they dlviGe the cost Of club Of
ton with one copy free, among eleven members, and
reduce the expense TO each, wheit Is all the
TO us. All the members Of such societies can hand
their subscriptions to their Master such person
they may select and he will that they forward
ed when enough obtained to ill club. If any
ono wishing to join club is in he pay his
arrOarages at $500 per year at the time Mas
tiers and any members Of these societies requested
TO present the advantages Of the FARMER at every
meeting this fall and to urge upon all the benefits to
be derived by subscribing to journal printed in the
midst Of them, that advocates their principles and
lives up TO them too.
A little comparison will show how low and how ia
vorabe tho terms of the FARMER In clubs Of ten
II costs Is cents less than any $500 county paper as
the postage is paid by the publisher It costs so cents
less than any $500 paper printed out Of your county
which adds 10 cents for postage. II costs $.l5 less
than either Of tho Boston agricultural papers, If
they paid for in advance. II costs 6j less than
the Boston agricultural papers If they not paid
for in advance. II costs Changers. Sovereigns, and
other coJperat0rs who divide tho cost of club equal
ly, fifteen cents Isss than each of the above terms.
Besides reduction in cost there other advan.
.tages that the FARMER presents. It is home agr-
cultural paper. 1t is home newspaper. 1t boldly
and fearessy advocates the principles Of the grange
and the council because 1t believes in them, and no
other eastern agricultural paper does 1t. No other
eastern paper not agricultural, does it to knowl
edge.
Masters will benefit their Order as well the
FARMER by causing this notice TO be read at each
meeting this fall, and friends of the FARMER will do
favor by calling for the reading Of 1t.

that their power is already felt in the higher

So much of the news-or rather, rumors
and reports-from the South about the
actual situation of affairs comes from sources
that carry no weight that, when testimony is
offered by man of standing and position, it
Is no more than fair to call attention
to it . Such testimony is furnished by a
manufacturer in Rome, Ca. who used 10 be
an intimate friend of Lincoln, and is de-
scrbed as one of the most honorable and
straightforward business men in the South.
This gentleman employs 800 laborers, whites
aud blacks, and says that he has not had
any race or political difficulties among them
for the past two years; furthermore, he has
not heard of any outrages in the state save
as he read them in the New York papers,
except the shooting of the route agent on the
Alabama and Chattanooga railroad, and he
refers in terms of praise to the peaceable
character Of Georgia people of both colOrs.--

No party il prrfcct. But it is infinitely bot

Of every citizen is to Join tic botttr purity.
He mnst eitllor do tint OF do nothing aud to
do nothing is equivalent to working with the

To Withdraw from party is to withdraw from
tho life Of tho nation. It has been fashion,

party Of order and Of progress. To it belongs
tho future OF this country just as certainly N
there is law Of development that governs
