Grange Notes from Haverhill.

We can say to the readers Of the YER.
MONT FARMER that are interested in the
grange, that we are making haste slowly,
and making some Roadway against most
bitter aud determined opposition. Before
the organizing of our grange at this place
the only event Of the week was the evening
prayer meeting. 1t seems that the very idea
Of grange in our midst has had the effect
to stir the turbid waters from their lowest
depths, and now there are not evenings
enough in the week to accommodate the anx-
ious that desire to congTegate. Moral; il
you have community that are resting in
quiet slumbor, and you want to give every
individual member a sharp thump on the
back AZ the same moment, organize grange
aud your work is complete.

The golden wedding Of Mr. and Mrs Cyrus
Hadley last Monday evening was very
pleasant affair. The old fniks we're invited
to the house Of MIR Bailey whore about
seventy.6ve happy wishers assembled with
presents of clothing aud other necessities to tho
amount of fifty dollars, for the aged couple.
The presentation was pleasantly madeby Rev
u. NJ. Tilotson, to which Mr. Hadley re-
piled briefly but feelingly, and said that he
was not aware of any great good he had
done 10 tie world why such remembrances
should be made to him. Upon cscortiug the
old couple home, they were more than ever
surprised to see the flour, ham, beet and
other provisions that had been rolled in
during the evening.

hearty applause from his appreciative audi

noble efforts in behalf of our common hui
manity. Some two weeks ago there was
grange organised IN the east part Of our town

The grange is not political organization,
neither can it ever become such if the Pat
rons are true to their obligations, to the
state aud national constitution, to their plat
form Of principles, and true to themselves,
aud yet it does not deprive members from
voting, attending conventions having pollti'
cal views and preferences, aud advocating
them upon all proper occasions. a great
battle in the political world is to be fought
this year, aud Patrons should be very care
full that they act as citizens for the best men
men who will support their interests and the
interests of every laboring class. Conven-
tious arc to be holden attend the primaries !;
send good aud true men az delegates to the
conventions men who will not sell out, who
will act for the interest Of the masses, and
not for ring politicians. Every citizen owes
1t to himself to "take proper interest in the
politics Of his country" Our platform for
bids oranges either national, state or suhor-
dinate from discussing political questions
calling conventions, nominating candidates
or even discussing their merits at its meet
ings Yet it reminds US that "the principles
we teach underlie all true politics, all true
craftsmanship" and If properly carried out
will tend to purify the whole political atmos
phere Of our country, for we seek the
greatest good to the greatest number. We
must always bear in mind that no one by
becoming Patron Of Husbandry gives ~
that iOalienabls right and duty (which belong
to every American citizen to take proper
, interest 10 the politics of his country d.
the contrary it is right for every member II

Patrons, do you attend your grange meet
ings? Remember the old maxim "What-
ever is worth doing at all is worth doing
well?" Having commenced to work, never
rest until you have accomplished something.
The grange has already become power and
that power is felt everywhere in the land.
Do you work for the interest Of the order, or
are you the "slothful servant burying your
talent in the ground" The secret Of success
among all callings, professions and avoca-
tons all parties seetS or religious denomi-
nations all organizations, is, they are united
as one man aud are faithful to the vows they
have taken upon themselves. We cannot
expect to succeed it half Of our members
stay at home when we have our meetings
Again we ask, Patrons, do you attend your
grange meetings? DO you labor faithfully
10 make the order a success You will re-
ceive pay according to your works. The
grange is not an eud but means to attain
an end. Regular attendance and work will
accomplish the result. IA III

Interests are nominated for all positions Of

which should characterize eveey Patron,
"tkdt the office should seek the man and not
the man the Office We wish to caution
Patrons thus early in the campaign not to
enter into any entangliug alliances, not to
suffer the grange to be used to further the
interest Of any hot-bed politician. A man
by becoming Patron does not give up the
right 10 vote or hold Office, nor does he gam
any right to become candidate that he did
no. possess previously. Whenever u lawyer
or any other professional suddenly falls in
love with farming, and embraces the dear
farmer, and bestows upon him his warmes,
affections, VIC are very sure that he will soon
want his votes, and are doubly sure when he
becomes an ardent advocate OF an orgauiza-
ton composed OF men Of another profession
and seeks elevation To Office at their hands,
We wish to remind Patrons to look over the
quotations above from the platform Of prin.
ciples and act accordingly upon all occasions
M
The entire cost of the national grange, to
each memser Of the order, is only FIVE cents
annually. This pays the delegates to the
national grange, two from each state, the
national executive committee, and the officers
Of the national grange, mileage, and per diem
while attending to their respective duties
for publishing proceedings Of national grange
clerks in secrstary's office, rent Of office
stationary, expenses Of the bureau Of statis'
tics, aid rendered the sufferers wherever
needy in our order, and for many other ex-
peuses that we have neither time nor space
to enumerate. The benefits derived from a
national organization is very great and eau
not be computed 10 dollars aud cents. The
state grange COSTS each member nineteen
cents annually. The sum of the two is sc
meager for the work 10 be done that the in
telIigent Patron can hardly understand how
80 much can be accomplished with so small
an amount Of money. The money is care
fully expended. We have too many vigllaut
honest and upright men in these bodies tC
have the least fear of its being misappro
priated. Some who never paid penny fol
any noble, worthy object, who know they can
never be received as members Of the order
cry out, somebody is about to steal YOU
money" but it is the cry we hear from
Tweed or any other plunderer to call attention
from themselves. Patrons we'll know tina
there can be no large accumulation of money
in tho state or national grango treasures
aud they listen much amused to the discov
cry made that the farmers cannot take car
of their own society or its funds. Will SOM
kind friend Of the farmer take charge Of gu
funds and act as our guardian
