There are said to be over sixty thou
sand Changers in Kentucky.
J. F. Herndon, State deputy, has or
ganized thirty-seven Lodges since Christ
mas.
A Mr.. Reed Hughes is orgaS4 Ing
Grange Lodges and Good Templars
Lodges also. He is engaged in glorious
work.
The Danville (Ky.) Grange has SO
many members that they will be COM
PEELED to meet hereafter in James, Hall,
the largest in that city.
Mr.. J. S. Powell, from, Alabama, has
been appointed and stationed at Louis
vile, KY, as general agent for the Pat
rons of Husbandry in the South.
There is movement on foot in Kan
sas to unite the Changers and Labor Re-
formers, but it will not, as it should not,
succeed. Let the two orders remain sep
arate.
Shelby county Grange, No. 20, gave
literally to the sufferers by the great
foods in the South. Their action should
be initiated by all of the Oranges in
Kentucky.
A Minnesota Granger protests that il
dancing is to be allowed in Oranges after
business, it will kill the order in one
year. He calls dancing the Aowery en-
trance gate to hell.
The Changers of Warren county are
to have a grand barbecue the last of this
month. The idea is good one. Can't
our Grass,rs Of Boyle. Lincoln and
Garrard have one too?
The Grange store started ~ y,
iWinona, wisconsinsas Gailed. habil-
tiles $4,000, VINO assets; anda sim
liar one at ,5atona closed up after a
Ilosso,' neatly 5000.
Gen. Atkins, bfIllinois. in recent
address to the faners of Davies county,
said the newspaprs were doing a good
work for the Gjagers, and were aiding
them grandly x maintaining their prin-
ciples.
The Granger Of the first Congression-
al district of Bntucky, advise farmers
in the tobacco-fowing regions to plant
only half crop for few years, on ac-
count of the Nv prices which have ruled
for some year
There areaid to be $4,000 oranges in
the countr, with an average Of fifty
members ea,h. and 81, 500, 600, it is esti-
mated. havl been paid in initiation fees
and dues. Some Of "the embattled
farmers" iant to know where all the
money gos.
Figure won't lie, if properly made
out. Rad the following and then see
whetheror not the farmers movement
has fruts: 1t is estimated by the De
partrnt Of Agriculture in last report,
that tlr cooperative feature of purchas-
ing agricultural implements has saved to
the farmers thus far between 81, OOO,OOO
and 100000.
The Oregon. Grangcrs have nominated
full ticket for State officers, with a
platform and principles. Now we don't
believe that the Changers should thus
run into politics. 1t can do them no
good, and may work serious injury. So
far, we are glad to see that our Kentucky
Patrons of.'Hnshandry keep aloof from
politics, and We believe they will contin-
ue to attend strictly to Their ~
work. :.
