with long pull, with strong pull,
and a pull together, and our country

lovely and facinating woman.
Matrons, in accordance with the
constitution Of the Order Of Patrons Of
Husbandry, we open wide the door,
and bid you welcome, upon the broad
principles of universal prosperity, hap
piness and efficiency. You are the
exponent Of mans happiness; the chief
corner Of his prosperity; the pillow Of
strength in the raising and educating
all of the children; all is we'll, pleasure
and happiness, in the presence of the
beautiful, lovely, worthy and efficient
Matron. Then exclude you from our
sanctum, never;. but it is indispensably
necessary that you be instructed in the
lessons Of our ayocations, in order that
you may be more fully prepared to
discharge the duties Of the office of
Matron. Your presence also always
refnes, elevates and polish the ways
and manners of man. Admitting this,
which all must concede, most assuredly
we bid you ever welcome, and ask that
you assist us in the great work Of refor

bid you ever welcome, for the further
reason that you give tone, strength,
dignity and refinement to our noble
organization, through the workings of
which depends our country's prosperity.

have purchased land and are getting
liberal subscription to erect a Grange1
building. Many are freely subscribing
who are not members of the Order. /
And we are looking forward, with fond
anticipation, to the time when we will
have a Grange store in our midst.
Our Grange is gradually increasing,
and but for the great money panic, the
increase would be rapid. A good deal
of substantial material not yet worked
up. We now number between fifty
and sixty members, having Identified
five or six. Our regular meetings are
on the I'd Thursday Of each month,
withintermediate called meetings when
business requires them.
In conclusion, may we all as laborers

as haruesters endeavor to increase the

and as Husbandmen study. the good of

OKTIBBEHA COUNTY.

! About two years ago the first Grange
was organized in this (Oktibbeha)
county, since which time / have not
seen a single item communicated to
the columns Of your valuable paper,
nor to any other, from Patron in the
county; hence, you might reasonably
infer that we were doing nothing in
this portion of the agricultural vine
yard for the growth and prosperity Of
that noble and glorious cause. But
not SO. There are now six Oranges in
the county, besides three or four others
that are near the borders. I.would
infer, then, that about five hundred of
the honest and sturdy farmers Of the
county had embarked upon the Kelly"
ship. who have girded themselves to
help steer it across the great mallstrom
of monopoly innovation, to the haven
of financial repose. | have recently
visited each Grange in the county.
| find some in an unprosperous con.
dition, whose members are greatly
discouraged, owing principally to the
oppressive financial condition of our
country, and the almost hopeless pros,
poets of the growing crop, while others
are fourishing like "the green Bay
tree" and their members stimulated
with confident hope of happy con-
summation of our noble purposes. /
discovered, too, chat the farmers we're
aroused to the importance Of taking
some agricultural paper, peculiarly de-
voted to the advocacy Of our princi-
Piles, that they might inform them
selves, and become more enlightened
upon the true system of farming. And,
by the bye, it has ever been my prac-
tice to present the title, claims and
rights, and vindicate the principles of
the VNnICAToR, as it was the fore
most in the State to take a stand in
eradication of the Order; and that,
too, in the very face of the vindictiUe
objections and cavilings of not only
its enemies but its friends. | set out,
however, to notice more particularly
the workings-ef our own Grange and
the benifcent influence it has exercised
upon the community, socially, morally |
and financially. The transition from
the high position that man occupied |
in the South before the late war to that
of an humble "hewer Of wood and
drawer of water" is well calculated to
make him selfish, morose and isolated.

THE GOvERNORsHTP.

Although several months elapse before
the election for Governor, a considerable
interest lie being manifested upon the sub
ject, in all parts of the State. The thirst
for this fat and honorable incumbency is
not confined to our cities and large towns,
but it seems that every nook, no matter
how remote, and every hamlet however
obscure has an aspirant. Many Demo
cratic candidates have arranged themselves
in the field of contest, and scores of others
are bedaubing and pluming themselves
with the proverbial paint and feathers, in
preparation for the war-path. When the
hewgag is sounded, look out for q lively
and interesting fight, in which whole bat>
t~allions will engage with that amusing
novelty of war of every man being his
own commander and his own soldier.
In the Western division, a number Of
patriots, with self-entertained notions of
pre-cmiuent qualifications and merits

ARE YOU SLAVES, OR ARE
YOU FREEMENl

How any man, and especially a voter,
can look upon the gymnastics of the con-
test, now opening in this Congress sional
District, from the standpoint of indifer>
entail neutrality, is surprising to us. The
issue may net be so much a difference of
political principle, but it is the end of the
struggle that must be looked to for bene>
Ecial or injurious results. The standard
Of political worth and probity must be
elevated to its ancient high position, or
it will be lowered even below its present
disgraceful and infamous level. 1t is to
be determined whether an Office shall be
made a perpetual possession in fee simple
and held in spite of all the reprcaches
and dishonor its occupant may bring upon
it, or the s~alutary aud republican princi-
pie of rotation in office be established,
and aspirants be advanced, trusted and
honored only according to their merits,
Eorth and qualifications. Shall the office
Of Representative be degraded to q mere
avenue of self.aggrandizement, in which
the false occupant can openly trade, bar>
gain and sell the rights and property of
his confding constituency? Has it come to
this that a man can say, in all the kingly
lmpudcnce and insolence which q long
run of popularity may inspire "that I can
go to Congress as long as | please and
when l am tired | can name my success
or and then be endorsed by his declared
v%aSsals? If this be true We are conscript>
ed under the black hammered corruption
of political lords, willingly performing
the degrading service of mere menials.
When the fortunes Of the people are held
in the hands Of one nan and every Cons
gresham can declare himself tho Napo-
leonic Consul of his constituency, the
heart-sick statesman will close lis porto
lilo, give up in despair and say "therc is
no hope for the Republic" These ques,
tions must be settled by the people, and
they must decide their independence and
freedom, or degradation and bondage.

THE WHISKY QUESTION.

For sometime past, the authorities of
our Corporation have endeavored to exer>
else some control over the sale of ardent
spirits by passing and enforcing ~restric,
tive ordinances, to the violation of which
heavy penalties were attached. Whether
this municipal legislation effected any
good in the decrease of intemperance,
the community know as well as we.
A few years ago, the Ohio Legislature
passed, almost unanimously, such was the
pressure Of public sentiment, what is
known as the Adair Liquor Law. 1t was
as stringent and sweeping in its provi-
sions, and severe in its penalties as human
wisdom and ingenuity could well nigh de-
wise. Still, it was not, or could not be,
enforced. Liquor was made, sold, drank,
and intemperance everywhere exhibited
its blooming nose and bloodshot eyes.
But the ladies have taken the monster
in hand. They are trying the praying,
pleading "moral Suasion' plan, and it is
working like a charm. They visit the
drinking saloons in professions and hold
prayer meetings sin the dark pits" They
demonstrate, plead, pray, sing, &C., with
the vender, he signs the pledge and the
citadel of sin falls. When they are re-
fused admission, rarely the case, they erect
a tabernacle on the street, in front of the
door, and there the committee sit the day
long, looking in upon the gilded %splendors
of King Alcohol's royal c~ourt>place, a per>
petual terror to the dry and thirsty souls
that have not the courage to face the
cleaning battery of their eyes. In some
towns, that but a short time since overflow
ed with b%enzine, not a drop can now be
had. The ladies in Indiana and Illinois
have caught the contagion and are work.

with similar results.
Is woman stronger than the law?

POSTAGE ON EXCHANGES,

We hope the present Congress will ex-
ercise the good sense and judgement of
repeating the law requiring postage on
newspaper exchanges. 1t may not be
burdensome are the rich dailies of the
Cities which en- comparatively few in re-
gard to the whole number, of papers
published, but the law has become actu>
ally oppressive upon the Country press
which must supply the rural press popula>
ton with their news. The Country press is
no unimportant part of the journalistic ma
chinery and its influence and usefulness
should, in no way, be impaired or circum-
scribed. 1t moulds and directs public
opinion as well as makes and unmakes
men. Statesmen and law givers should
appreciate its potency and value and re-
cognize its claims and merits. Legisla,
ton should not be allowed to interfere
with its success. Country journals, cut off
from the most valuable advertising an d
compelled to "trust" more or less, are
barely selE>sustaining, and it is hurtful to
the public interest to impose burdens
upon them they can lily afford to bear.
We hope Congress will regard this mat>
ter in a sensible light, and pass a "bill of
relief that will make the heart of every
impecunioss editor in the country throb
with iov.
