Sociality in the Grange pulls down
the false bulwark of society and moli-
fies wicked selfshness, so that it emits
sparks of kindness and ensures a more
manly and womanly treatment of their
fellow men and women. The inter
change of thought and opinion on sub
iects of interest to producers brings into
action the practical business talent, and
also the noblest and best faculties of the
mind. The discussion of subjects ne
cessitates thought an ELECTS and interest
that excites to the presentation of their
best ideas and conceptions and when
the young man or woman writes an essay,
their pride and ambition sets them to
reading and thinking, and their pro-
ductions are stamped with literary merit;
and they feel that they are rising above
the drinking and ignorant crowd that
frequent those hell holes called saloons.
These frequent meetings tear down the
little batteries of reserve and timidity;
they talk Familiarity and begin to appre-
ciate the fact that every one has traits of
character which are truly commendable,
and the knowledge enlarges the affec-
tions towards one another-Southern
