bs clear aud cold, and if the track dries
sufficiently The races will come off this after
noon as advertised.

Given In Honor Of the Son Of q Yankton
Man.
The subject of the following Is the son Of
Judge Lott 8. Bsyless Of this city. We copy
from the Keokuk Constitution of the 10th:
One Of the really pleasant sftairs of the
season took place at Kissick's parlors Sat.
urday evening. It was farewell reception
rendered to 8. L. Bayless, Esq by his ma
sonic friends and brethern, previous TO his
departure for his new home In Oregon.
Mr.. Bayless has resided In Keokuk for seven
years, and during that time his sterling good
qualities end irreproachable character have
won him many warm friends. He
than the company assembled Saturday
night to bid him good bye. We believe
every interest in Keokuk, railroad, bank.
ing, steamboat, the wholesale and retail
trade, etc., was represented, and the feeling
expressions of regret at Mr.. Bayless' de.
parturs must have caused his heart to swell
with pride. It was testimonial which any
man would have 4 right to feel proud Of
and could not have been bestowed upon
more worthy man.
The first part of the evening was whiled
away with social amusements, then came
the feature of the evening-the banquet
which was spread in the red parlor, and
was most delicious feast, one which hai
added new honors to Kissick as cater, and
one that was thoroughly enjoyed by th.
guests.
Hon. H. w. Rothert, past grand master
occupied the head of the table, and in hi
own inimitable way kept things moving, and
made everybody lively. He had difficult
task before him, but his experience in such
matters came to his aid, and he discharged
his duties most gracefully, contributing
much to the success Of the evening. Every
guest was called upon for some remarks
and while all were BRIEF they were to th,
point often witty, and always interesting
The guests fingered long at the table, anc
when they srose the nearness to the hour O
midnight warned them that the Sabbath
was approaching, and after shaking the hand
of Mr.. Bayless, they took their departure
for home.
A more graceful compliment than thi
reception could not have been bestowed OF
Mr.. Bayless, and he showed that he fully
appreciated it by his actions. He left ia
day for Oregon, where the good wishes q
hosts of Keokuk friends will follow him
To Mr.. Comegys who labored SO faithfully
10 make this affair success, much praise
due and hereby awarded.

The Waco daily examiner. [volume] (Waco, Tex.) 187?-1888, 1878-10-02
Work for the State Grange.

Dear Patron: We are nearing the
close of another Grange year, and at
the coming meeting of the State
Grange are expected to tell not only
what the Grange has done, but what
1t proposes to do for future growth
of this great noble and most wonder
full institution called the Patrons of
Husbandry. The complete equip
ment and thorough organization of
our three institutions, the Changers
Bank, the Changers Business Asso-
citation, and the California Farmers
Fire Insurance Company, are the tro-
phics of our State work in Califor-
mia, holding in check as they do,
every monopoly heretofore the farm
er's oppressor, and giving for the flu
ture, assurance of an open European
market, with a saving on all goods
the farmers buy of from 20 to 40 per
cent.
And what then, is again asked will
be the future outgrowth of this most
potent of all institutions in Califor-
mia, the Grange. Potent, we say, as
what il determines TO do, nothing
can resist-for it is the producing
power of the State, and must be list
ened to, land obcyed also) when
found 10 be right, as heretofore il has
scrupulously sought to be. We find
there is call from every county in
the State by the subordinate Oranges
every where for the State Grange to
take some steps towards organiza-
ton by this body for the purposes of
legislation. Legislation that win not
fear to uncarth the fact that only six
hundred millions of property are
taxed i'll this State, while there are
two thousands millions of property
that ought to be taxed-which if
found and assessed as is the six hun
dred millions now found, would re-
duce the farmers taxes TO three dol
lars, where he now pays ten dollars.
Then, If the running of this State
Government was anything like as
economically run as other States,
this would reduce the taxes of the
farmer TO the payment of not more
than one dollar where he now pays
ten. Can the State Grange do any
thing by way of organizing the Gran
gers as body to resist this and other
equally great evils? If 30, say the
whole State, let it do it, and thereby
give to the Grange new life, new
power, and name to live that can
not be destroyed.
In behalf of the subordinate
Oranges of the State we make this
appeal to the members, both honora-
ry and voting, as well as every fourth
degree member that can and will, at
tend the next meeting of the State
Grange,
We have only time to hint this sub
ject to all who attend to be present
at the State Grange-as we shall pre-
sent Il report upon this subject, Civ
ing our conclusion after traversing
some 1900 miles of this State in the
last two years, which report shall
embody the expression of the subor-
dinate Oranges upon this subject.
