The New York Times notices some OF
the curiosities of yellow fever. At the
Brazilian port of Pernambueo. in 1879,
the ships in the harbor were throwing
their dead overheard by dozens, while not
a case occurred on shore In Rio de Ia.
metro, few years later, many of the res
idenfs remained in town during the sickly
season. Strange to say, the yellow fever
did not come that year; but when the peo-
pie who had gone out of town returned
almost all of them were attacted violently
by the disease and many of them died.
The Times thinks the most curious case of
all is that of the Islands of Jamaica, where
the disease prevailed for years, but were
during the last half century ithas not been
known. Yellow fever is around it on t ey-
cry slde, in Cuba and in San Domingo,
but in Jamaica it is unknown

possible to believe that single farmer
could listen to the artling.revelations OF
their burdens and grievances and remain
unmoved, but in the Grange or out of it,
would advance in solid phalanx, and claim
and take the justice which of right is
theirs. High enlogiums of praise were
accorded to the speaker by numerous au-
ditors, especially by the farmers who do
not belong to the Order: and doubt not
that the seed sown will bring good fruit,
and that not many days hence. God speed
the noble work! Fraternally,

FARMERS AND THE COTTON
SEED OIL COMPANIES.

The following resolutions were adopted
by Phoenix Grange, $40, Jefferson county,
Miss, and should be accepted and acted
upon by every Grange in the Cotton
States:
Whereas, An agreement has been en-
tered into by the Cotton Seed Oil Mills IN
this State for the purpose of buying cotton
seed, and in order that they may more ct
fectually combine and cooperate to put
down and keep down the price of cotton
seed, said companies have Distracted the
State, and that the farmer may be power
less in disposing even Of his cotton seed,
said companies have fixed their 0zvH price
upon the same; therefore, resolved,
Ist. That we, the farmers and members
of Phoenix Grange, $40, think it ruin
Gus and suicidal policy to sell cotton seed
one of the very best fertilizers known to
the farmers of our country and one which
should Justly be fed to our impoverished
lands.
I'd. That we will not sell any cotton
seed to said oil companies or their agents
SO long as said combination exists.
I'd. That we will endeavor to dissuade
farmers, non Changers, from selling, OIL
permitting to be sold, the cotton seed rails
ed on their farms, and that we will try to
enlist public sentiment opposed to the
sale OF cotton seed.
8. That copy of these resolutions be
forwarded to the several Subordinate
Oranges of Jefferson and Adams counties
requesting them to adopt these or similar
resolutions looking to the same end:
9th. That we invoke the aid and assis
lance of all persons in this our endeavor tc
stop the traffic in cotton seed SO long a
said combination exists and attempts tc
regulate the price of the products of our
farms.
The foregoing resolutions were reported
by the Committee on Cooperation, ane
adopted by Phoenix Grange, $40, at reg
Liar meeting held August 9th, 1879, ane
copies were ordered to be furnished the
Fayette Chronicle and THE PATRON OIL

OATS IN COTTON LAND.

Planters will do we'll to bear in mind
that oats may be successfully produced
by sowing in cotton land during Septem-
be1 or October if plowed or narrowed III
Immediately following the cotton pickers.
Reports show that not few farmers have
tried the plan of drilling two rows OF oats
in each cotton middle with success. BY
sowing in this manner in cotton land
which has been fertiiiZed the oats secure
the benefit of the manure not appropria
ted by the cotton. The labor of sowing
is small, and the crop requires almost no
cultivation; hence advocates for the fall
sowing of oats argue that when failure oc
ours from winter freezing there is practi
cally no loss of labor, since the ground
may be reseeded in the spring or planted
to some other crop as corn or cotton.
The st-proof oat is preferred before
other varieties on account of the quality
from which its name is derived. 1t has
been tested for number years in Geor-
gia and is pronounced as practically rust
proof.

DIR SHAM RESIIMTION.

Jay GoHlds organ the New York Tri-
bune, in speaking of the Maine campaign
says:
'rhe Greenbackers are demoralized by
the fact of successful resumption, which
has struck their rickety fabrics ofargument
like solid shot, and brought it tumbling
down like house of cards
This sentiment of the most yenal sheet
in the land is echoed by all the other
hard money organs. They boast as if we
really had resumption and were enjoying
all the benefits that they promised would
follow in its wake.
Now let us examine this ''solid shot" that
Tay Gould's organ tells us has destroyed
the rickety fabric Of the GreeHRaaek argu-
ment In the first place is there resHnlp-
ton in the sense that the hard money or
cans would have their readers believe?
Can the greenback be converted into gold
in any part of the United States on de-
mandf It will not do to say in Chicago,
San Francisco, or any other city the green
back is convertible into gold Ise sues
ton is not whether through the favor of
banker, YOU can obtain gold for your
oreenbacks, but whether, in any of these
Cities, YOU can 60 to agents of the United
States Treasury and demand, as right,
to have the greenback in your possession
redeemed in gold. Until that can be done
in every part of the country there is no
resumption. AS it. is now, resumption is
| limited to the spot on which the United
States Sub Treasury stands in New York.
And even with that restriction il could
not last twenty four hours if it were not
for the good will ofthe National Bankers,
who, in consideration Of the large gain
they are making by this o-called Resump-
ton, have agreed to help John Sherman
to keep up his false pretences about having
resumption.
Somuch for the successful resumption
that Jay Gould's organ assures us has
caused the decentralization of the Green.
back party. And now let us ask: What
has it done for the country that the Green
back party should go out of existences
1t is now over six months since the re-
turn to hard money was ushered in amid
the loud fluctuations of the opponents of
the Greenback. What has been the his
tory of these six months? Has the condi-
ton of labor improved? Are the people
better clothed, better fed, better housed
than they were this time last year? Is la
Dor better paid, better Employed? It is

FROM MISSISSIPPI.
ALCORN COUNTY.


Editor Patron. The County Grange of
Alcorn county met in extra session on
Tuesday, the 18th inst, at 4 o'clock, P. NJ.
We held night session and session on
the 18th. We had good meeting. Ev-
cry Grange in the county was represented,
and believe every delegate was present,
besides many members of Subordinate
Oranges were present. We had most
excellent dinner spread at I o'clock on
the 18th in the grove near the hall, and to
say the least of it, it was simply n3agnifi-
cent-just such a dinner as the Changers
of Alcorn know how to prepare.
Now, the politicians say the Grange IS
dead. Let them come to my office and
look into the records and see for them
selves. Let them look at the magnificent
County Grange meetings held in Alcorn,
and not only in Alcorn but in many other
other counties as well. To correct these
destinations on the part of political lead
ers, l will say, from the record, that the
Grange is not dead, neither does it sleep
eth. The Grange is stronger to-day in
Mississippi, materially, than ever before.
Bro. B. B. Boone, the Lecturer of the
State Grange, made us an able and elo-
quent address on the 18th at o'clock
everybody highly entertained.
In this county, we have decided to carry
out the enunciation of principles Of the
National Grange, and we only want the
farmers and mechanics to come to the
front to accomplish our objects.

Editor Patron. Claiborne county is
still alive to the interests of the farmer and
the Oranges although our sister counties
may have been in the dark as to her move
ments. We have passed through the dark
days of 1873; and although the epidemic
nearly destroyed the life of the Order. we
have rallied from the blow; and three Wig
orous Oranges are to-day teaching the
farmer his duties to his family, his neigh
Dor and his country. One cooperative
store has been organized at Pattona;
Stock has been subscribed to another at
Rocky Springs, and. to third (the Cen
trail association at Port Gibson; which
last two will be put in working order
within the next thirty days. Applications
for membership are being received at each
meeting, and prospects are brighter for the
Order, than for several years The Po-
mona Grange met three weeks ago, and
was well attended. A spirit of earnest
desire to go to zvork pervaded every heart:
and from the sentiments expressed in the
debates which ensued, the glorious fact
was realized that the farmers had zone TO

Pomona Grange represented in the State

ADAPT FOOD TO THE SEASON

Y.
Many spring diseases are the natural
and legitimate result of excess of food, or
more than the stomach can bear at this
season of the year with a radical change
in the temperature. To understand this.
let it be remembered that we have win
ter and summer appetite, depending on
temperature, and that in cold weather a
large percentage of our food is exhausted
merely in sustaining the heat of the body,
which must be kept about eS degrees Fa-
hrenheit, or life Cannot be preserved.
Indeed in the coolest weather, to sup
ply this animal heat, about four times as
much of this fuel food is needed, as that
for the muscles, or to give strength and
general health. -
It is also true that there is the same pro-
priety in the selection of the kind of food
for summer and winter as in the adapta.
ton of our clothing for the same season.
In the winter the appetite is especially ur-
gent tor the sweets of all kinds. the oil ne
butter, for meat, etc. In the spring and
summer such articles are not needed and
should be avoided or INDUCED in very
spariHgly.
