We heartily concur in the following
resolution of the County Council Of
Montgomery County, Indiana, and hope
that our friends will lay it to heart and
60 to work earnestly for securing five
thousand new subscribers to The
GRANGE ADVANCE. We are bound to
have them, and if you do not send them
we shall be compelled to go after them;
The County Council of Montgomery coun-
ty, Indiana, have Resolved, That this
Council recommend to the Grange that
they make the circulation of newspapers
devoted to the interests of the order among
their membership matter deserving special
attention, and that we invite publishers to
send specimen copies to this Council for
distribution among the delegates of the
Oranges so that each Grange may be its
own agent and canvasser for papers, at a
less cost than publishers can afford when
they must bear the expense Of paid can
vassing agents.

AUGUST Oath, 1874.
Editors Of The Grange Advance:
RESPECTED S1Rs II have neglected writ
ing to you for q few weeks, owing to our
busy time, but hope to be more prompt in
the future.
Our grain is nearly all secured. T.
Brown and Jerry Beardsley have threshed
out few jobs. David Lyons machine
commences to-day; he has recovered some
from his late illness and will superintend
the work. They claim to have q good,
jolly crew this year, and believe them,
for as far as my experience has been have
always found them jolly, sometimes too
much so for me. c. Bradshaw is nearly
blind, caused by working in the harvest
field. The corn is growing rapidly Of late,
and will, if "Jack frost" keeps at dis
tance, be fair crop; some of it is fit to
cut now. Wheat is averaging from ten to
twenty bushels to the acre. Twelve and
one-half will be the average yield think,
still it may be better. Quite number have
started plowing but the ground is most too
dry, breaking had to be suspended on that
account.
The Grange held meeting on the 22d,
inst. there were but few officers present :;
has the cry for high wages caused the Grange
to be forsaken. I hope not fine time
WAS enjoyed by those who attended. &c.
Arnold was elected for Treasurer, and John
Boustead for Gate Keeper, those Offices be-
ing vacant. The nights are growing long
er which every oee knows of course, and
those debaters ought to be holding counsel
for the starting Of Lyceum. am sure it
would be great benefit if conducted right,
for the youth and even older ones.
Our Sunday School has been somewhat
on the decline caused by some Of the most
able ones being absent, but IS they re-
turned Saturday. the Sunday School was
well enjoyed, 1t least: the Bible class
thought so, for they have been crowded in
to other classes, while their teacher, A. E..
Cowell, was absent.
