THE FARMERS, MOVEMENT.

We publish the proceedings of the
Farmers Association, in another column,
which was formed at Elkton on Tues
day last, with very little fuss. A num-
Der of farmers and others interested in
the formation of an agricultural society
for the county assembled here on that
day, by previous agreement and public
notice, for the double purpose of form
ing an agricultural and mechanical as
ISOLATION and organizing a Grange of
the Patrons of Husbandry. George
Thomas, Esq, who had given notice
that he would visit our town on Tues
day last for the purpose Of establishing
Grange at this place, was prevented
from keeping that engagement by the
death of his brother, and has fixed upon
the 18th day of April as the time when
he will pay our county a visit, and pro-
ceed to organize Grange here The
Grange will be altogether separate
organization from the Association, which
was started so uspiciously by the meet
ing on Tuesday, but will be a co-worker
with the other society.
We hope the farmers of the county
have at last become impressed with the
importance of association, and will each
henceforth strive to make the cause of
his fellow farmers his own. We have
long urged the Importance of such a
step upon our agricultural readers, and
it is satisfaction to find that they have
finally reached that point of educa-
ton 10 their business which impresses
them with the necessity of closer
alliance, and a more cordial support and
seconding of each others interests
What interests and promotes the wei
fare of one farmer reacts ON all of his
neighbors and the whole neighborhood,
in some way, feels benefited by it.
1t is probable that the second Tues
day in April will be busy season for
most farmers, but let them make some
sacrifice, if necessary, to attend the first
meeting of the Association, and give
the new organization such send-off as
will insure it proud success. Not
witbstanding previous failures in the
attempt to organize Grange at Elkton,
let no trifng disappointment discour-
age those who propose to become men,
bers, but meet Mr. Thomas here on the
day he has appointed for his third effort,
and plant hesociety in the Spring with
the promise of much fruit in the Au-
tumn. There are five Oranges, we be-
lieve, in the county, all in very pros
porous condition, which the members
claim have been of much substantial
benefit to them as business organza-
tons

THE LICENSE BUSINESS.

On MONDAY last the Grand Jury dlS-
solved, and the anxious season of grog
or no grog came to an end The total
abstinence men and the grog men are
both disappointed. With twenty-five
hotels we will try to worry along in the
county till the legislature meets, when
the whisky ring will see to it that this
grand jury law is erased from the stat
ute books, as the local option law was
cleaned out by the Democratic legisla-
ture of Pennsylvania, at its last session
Only four wholesale places are left in
the county, where a barrel for harvest
can be had, or jug full to keep the
Sabbath on, and one oyster house or
restaurant. To procure the latter took
considerable management. The Grand
Inquest had to be convinced by infalli-
bic evidence that the institution was
necessity. Nothing less than personal
investigation would suffice for this. II
You can only get on oyster or terrapn
into mans stomach, from United
States Senator down to a Grand Jury
man, you have him sure.
Well, we are to have seven fountains
of life still open in Ekton, and we will
have to make out with this reduced
number, although we have found abund-
ant use for fourteen heretofore. On the
whole, the Grand Jury did tolerably
well, but not so well as the more san
guine temperance men hoped They
reduced the liquor establishments about
one half, and closed up nearly all the
groggeries. The fact was pretty clearly
developed ny the movement cause bv
the new license law, that large majority
of the people of the county are in favor
of abolishing the entire business of re-
failing spirltuous liquors. Three places
were about all anybody hoped for in
Elkton, and in fact that was about all
the advocates for license claimed was
necessary. Had vote been taken on
the license business when the Grand
Jury met, it is believed that not Il
license in the county would have been
granted. But the party in power, which
is in the keeping of the Elkton ring,
owed their success to the efforts of the
whisky ring last Fall, and they could
not go back on it, and it is noticeable
that wherever ralIying point can be
made throughout the county, thatlicens
is ordered to issue. The people expect
ed much greater reduction, and the
obvious reason for their disappointment
is the one above given. There is no
place where liquor is sold that SOME
evil does not result from it, no matter
how guarded the sale may be. And
there is no single instance that any ben
eft, except to the seller, results from the
sale of the ardent as meat and drink
commodity The Grand jury, we fear.
lost sight of these important facts, and
got confused by the sophistry that one
man has as much right to sell as another
When this view is entertained the rights
of the public are overlooked; for every
license is applied for on the ground that
as part of a house of public enter
tainment, the thing is demanded by the
public; which, in point of fact, is wholly
false

\ SPELLING BEE'-The following
were the arrangements for the Spelling
Bee which came off at the Academy of
Music on Thursday night last, as pub
lished in the LEDGER of Wednesday:
The spelling is to be oral; Webster's
Unabridged Dictionary is to be the
standard; words for which Webster
gives more than one way of spelling
will be excluded from the list any com
petitor misunderstanding word can
ask one repetition if no attempt at spell
ling the word has been previously
made; one misspelled word rules THAT
spcller out.
One hundred and thirty applications
have been made from professional and
business people of both sexes for the
privilege of contesting, and the class
will consist of equal numbers of ladies
and gentlemen, who will occupy oppo-
site sides of the stage At the Ches-
ter county Spelling Bees" in 1873 and
1874, the lady competitors carried off a
majority of the prizes. The spelling is
to be relieved by choice selections of
music and reading.
Some of the ENTERpRIsING folks of

men are willing to risk largely on the
devil, and in such contest stand ready
to back him against the town.
