" Eagle +" From Home.

EDITOR EAGLE: We get from home
occasionally, but rarely do we have
the pleasure of meeting with such
wide-awakc and .ood. clever people
as we met at the grange banquet given
by Rockford grange on Christmas day.
1t is impossible for one poor pen to
give description OF the feast. The
best description, and only one that we
can think of that would do justice to
it, is the enjoyment of it. We are fore
cd to acknowledge that the ladies of
Rockford grange know how to get up
mic. Christmas dinner, if this was a
specimen. About O'Clock the tables
were S, read and such sight. 1t
would do our "poor relations" back in
the east good TO behold such feast
They would certainly have to admit
t at the people of Rockford township
are not without the nccessarics and
luxurics Of life. Not only the grange
but a great many of the friends of the
order, including the families of the
members were present, and yet, bask-
cts after baskets full Of nice turkey,
chicken, cakes, pies etc, were carried
away after all had had enough For
the many kindncsscs shown TO your
respondent on that occasion BY the
members of the grange, we heartily
thank them and trust their lives may
be beautifully heightened out and that
they man see many a returning "mcrry
Christmas"
In the afternoon the grange elected
officers for the ensuing year. Bro. II.
Former was reelected master and
Bro. a. &. Burr, secretary. Two con-
didates were initiated during the after
noon. This grange we found in a
prosperous condition, and we think
we merely state the facts when we say
that it is one of the foremost oranges
in the county. EAGLE.

At an early hour our school house

the small Sabbath-school scholars. and
an address by judge Mccoy, with Sc

furnished by the FL Paso string band.
When old Santa Claus made his APP

Needs Looking After

The Iowa State Register. the grang-
crS organ in that state, thinks that the
finances of the order need looking after.
Il admits that in the incipicnt stages
OF The movement. when oranges were
few ard means needed TO propagate the
order. fifteen dollars for charter and
five dollars iniation fee was not too
murh. Eat during the past eleven
months there have been about six
thousand oranges organized, and il is
thought the number will reach seven
thousand at The end of tie year. Seven
thousand charters AT Sl5 each. would
Weld $l05,o00 Add to this ten cents
per member for 600.00o members.
and il appears that about Sl65.000 win
been paid the national grange treasury
during the year 1873. with certainty
of tae amount being largely increased

The Lawrence .foRyudl states that
Attorney General Williams has deter
mined 10 prosecute all county trcasur-
crs delinquent on school moneys. and
has sent circulars 10 that effect to every
delinquent county in the state. Some
OF these officers viii have TO rise and
explain. The recent disclosures OF
speculation by county ireasurers have
wrought the public mind 10 a high

most stringent provisions will he
adoptcd regarding the handling of pub

"Are You a Granger ?"
The above question having been pr

The above question having been pro-
pounded us several times of late
once through the columns of news
paper, and now through our own col
umns, we rise to say and explain:
Now, then, if our questioner means,
are we granger from apoiitical stand
point, we answer, we are republican.
But, if hearty sympathy for the men
and women who arc toiling to make
homes OH these prairies, and for the
great mass of people who make their
living by hard knocks and poorly
paid labor, constitutes granger, then
are we a granger. II desire TO see
labor elevated and the laborer com
handing proper recognition at the
hands Of the government and OF polit-
zeal powers, means granger, then are
we a granger. If to advocate that the
true source of all government is in the
governed, 1. c. derived from the people,
and not from monopolies and monied
corporations. then have we been gran
ger for ten years. If to dread the COLI
sequences of. and 10 fear that the ten
dcncies of our times are keeping men
ia high places, without regard TO their
fitness or honesty, through the power
of political patronage, party lash and
use of money filchcd from the public
treasury, or stolen from the people by
corporate bodies renders one granger.
then are we a granger. If an earnest
intention of devoting the columns of
the EAGLE t. the agricultural and
stock interests Of this valley, in the
first place TO encourage manufactures,
in the second place; and commerce
and trade, in the third place, makes
the editor of this paper a granger, then
arc we a granger. But if our friend
only means TO enquire whether we
have identified ourselves with the Pat
rons of IIusbandry, lac will please al
low Us to suggest that brothers should |
not test or chatcchisc each other
through the public prints.

Eli ASO, Zee. LOiH. 1910.
DEAR EAGLE: Christmas has come
and gone bu, its good effects in Rock
ford will long be remembered. The
good people of FL Paso and surround.
ings conc uded that Rockford was old
enough and the soil rich enough to
produce Christmas tree.
/ So accordingly the tree was planted
/ in the FL Paso schoolhouse, and Christ.
mas eve the people began to assemble
/ to see the kind of fruit the tree pro.
duced. They came and came until
every available foot inside the house
was occupied.
| The exercises were opened by pray
er from DR.. Tucker and an address by
Judge Mccoy, after which there was
q half or three quarters of an hour
spent in singing appropriate songs and
listening to sweet music, dispensed by
the FL Paso string band.
Santa Claus then made his appear
ancc and distributed the presents with
dispatch. He distributed several hun
bred presents TO the Young people and
took good care not TO forget the old.
The tree was fine tne and loaded
with presents. Among the noticeable
presents was one to Farmer Doolitt!e
IA toy wife. presume the donor
ment to impress upon tie mind of the
farmer that it was high time he should
take unto himself real wife. We
hope he may be proiitcd by the sug-
gestion. There was two other prizes
deserving of notice, one 10 the hand
soonest lady, and one to the handsomest
gentleman in the house, the test to be
by vote. The names Of several ladies
were presented for the contest: after
taking number of ballots it was found
impossible to make choice, there be-
ing so many handsome ladies present.
The vote for the handsomest gentle
man was indefinitely postponed.
The ladies of FL Paso presented the
teachers of FL Paso sabbath-school with
a number of fine large cakes TO be dis
tributed among their respective classes.
The cakes were cut and nearly all in
house had The good fortune TO get a
slice. Bless the ladies.
The Christmas tree being disposed
of the young people repaired toCosiin's
Hall for social hop. All present APP
peared TO enjoy themselves and were
full of Christmas fun.
Mr.. EAGLE, there was one other
thing that transpired that evening.
There was a big rooster and turkey
presented, which clearly showed that
Christmas was not over and, sure
enough, Christmas day the patrons met
Al the Law school house and had big
dinner. BOOSTERS, COOLERS and every
thing that was necessary TO the make
up ola good dinner W As at hand. Every
body present enjoyed themselves as
emily a happy and contented people
can. They had extended invitations
to many of their friends, and the house
was filled with good people and good
things.
Rockford thinks there is a great and
future awaiting the people
Of Sedgwick county and the Arkansas
valley, and they have no inclination to
pirate about hard times and fifteen
cents corn. but have pulled off their
coats and intend to drive ahead until
that future comes, and if every farmer
viii soon be here.
Yours, Sc,
