and perhaps less. There is but one
difficulty that has'ieyer before stood in
the way Of an organization such as We
are now discussing being made most
powerful auxilliary for good, and that
has been the want of confidence in
each other and the fear that there was
some personal advantages to be reaped
by leaders. We hope that in the pres
ent organization there will be an open
frankness that will characterize every
Grange and let each patron Of Hus-
bandry know that "when energy to
purpose gives. and purpose to success,
theirs no such word as fail y
We hail the rapid'increase Of this or
ganization as the promise Of better days
to all our farmers that will honestly
adopt its object There is not want
now felt by our agriculturists over the
whole land that is not fully met BY this
plan Of organization, if We are at all
correct in our inferences. And now,
upon the threshold Of our glorious CEN
tennial year, we do hope that our agri-
culturists may indeed ipaugurate year
of freedom from debt, and make for our
beloved country year Of Jubilee. that
"ye may dwell in the land which the
Lord God giveth thee"
