Whereas it has become a custom of the
patriotic people of many of the States of
the Union to annually manifest, by appro

might live, and, believing that the custom
should be honored by general observance.

Not Flesh of One and Bone of Another

Some time ago the United States
Treasurer issued orders to pay all the
government employees 10 per cent of
their salaries in silver dollars. Of
course any one who depends upon his
salary for support will complain
more or less Of the injustice of suci,
an order, and in some quarters the
Government has been charged with
dealing unfairly by her employees.
To give some show of right and jus.
tice therefore to this questionable pol.
icy Of The Government, President
Hayes, who is nothing more than an
employee, says he is willing to take
10 per cent Of his salary in silver dol
lars with the rest of tho officials, and
comes up regularly every month with
a bag into which is placed twenty-five
poypds OF silver dollars, the 10 per

death. Yellow flags are displayed Mt
every turn and crossing. The hospi.

been added. The curfew bell now

General Grant,

President Grant, after being lion
lied all over Europe and Asia, sailed
from Japan few weeks ago and is
now on his way to the United States.
On his arrival here he will take charge
of that portion Of the Republican par
ty of which he is the recognized lead
er and will direct the working OF his
party machinery in such manner as
to insure his nomination for the next
Presidency. Conkling, who now has
no aspirations in that direction, will
lend lin very material aid in the
great State Of New York. Indeed
the recent nomination Of Cornell, as
candidate for the office Of Governor
Of that State. proves the force of the
influence that cunning politician
is able to bring to bear upon the Re-
publican party, and settles the fact
that he is q master Of the situation so
far as New York is concerned, Conk.
ling, controlling the Republicans of
New York, will be able TO control the
National Convention OF that party
when it assemblies. If so, Grant is
certainly the coming man. Sherman
without New York will find it difficult
TO secure the nomination over Gen.
Grant.

The Farmers Aid Association.

This institution, recently changed
from thc Patrons to the Farmers
Aid Association, held q meeting on
Saturday last at which business of
Importance was transacted. We arc
little surprised That so few farmers
of our county haze joined this society
which emhodics peculiar features for
the protection of their families. One
Of these is that Of IN insurance com
pany upon the most reliable and
cheapest plan yet discovered in insti-
tutions of II similar nature. 1t is
confined TO farmers and mainly to
those Of this county, and unlike other
insurance companies, ladies arc re-
ceived as members upon equal foot
ing with their husbands. Farmers
and their wives under thirty-f five years
Of age may become members by pay
ing the sum of $500; those whose
ages range from thirty-live to forty
six pay 5000; from forty-siX to fifty
five, $500 and from fiIty-Gye TO six

commcnds itself to the consideration
Of those who desire TO avail them
selves Of insurance aid is that after
becoming members no money is paid
until death occurs, thus rendering
it absolutely impossible to lose any.
thing by becoming n member save
the assessment which goes directly to
the aid Of brother farmer.
Not the least important feature in
this scheme is the acquaintance of the
members with each other. Confined
to single calling, that of The farmer,
and to Il limited territory, that Of Or
angcburg County mainly, each men,
bcr knows the others, the officers who
control the affairs Of the institution
and tile manner in which that control
is exercised. Indeed the inner work
ing of the society is all open to the in
spection CT each member; and fraud,
under such circumstances, lis manifcstly
impossible. We trust that with these
features made known TO the public,
many, who now stand OF, will come
forward and join the association. 1t
is established on a firm basis and
needs only an increase in the member

taking the lead in this State. Several
of her military companies, and among

have taken in;tiatory steps in the
premises. At meeting of this com

unanimously passed: "That an ap-
