NEWTON COUNTY,


Editor Patron. | have looked in the
last few numbers of THE PATRON for
something from our leading members of
the Grange in this county, but see nothing.
| believe tbs is the banner Grange
county of the East. We are more united,
stronger, and doing more for the cause at
this time than we have eyer done before.
There were more Oranges and aFgreater
number of members reported to the State
Grange for two or three years at one time
than now, but we did not possess one
fourth the strength we now do.
There are two cooperative stores in
successful operation in this county The
one organized at Decatur, the county site,
has purchased fine lot on the public
square, and has specifications on file with
the Secretary awaiting bids.
Decatur Grange is gathering strength
daily. The Sheriff, both Clerks, Ranger
and one of the Board of Supervisors, are
members. They are all farmers, depend.
ing on farming for a living, and should any
of them be defeated at the next election,
they have homes to 90 to and farms to
support them. The Matrons, may heaven
bless them, are foremost in tbe co-opera.
tive movement, for they know that it is..one
of the best arrangements ever made by the
Grange to enable the farmers to save their
hard earnings.
Spencer Grange has walked up, after
taking nap of five or six months. 1t is
gathering good members from two OIL
three dormant Oranges, and will in short
time be one of our leading Oranges. One
of its members, learn, owns a store house
within one hundred yards of the Grange
hall, and they will start cooperative
store this fall
Pine Forest and Bethel Oranges have
agreed to unite at Lawrence on the raj
road, where Bro. Parker owns house
and commence business this fall
You see we are up and doing. If sue
cessful, we will soon have five stores ir
operation.
Bro. ]. B. Bailey, Master of our County
Grange, is one of the strongest and bes1
workers we have. Bro. J. L. Hardy, oul
County Lecturer is strong, active Gran
ger, and SO are Bros. M w. Stamper, w
Chairman, and others.
Every Grange of ten active members
can and ought to have cooperative store
in their neighborhood, SO as to keep the
profits among themselves, and not carry
all they make to the towns and cities
building up other communities, leaving
themselves and their families poor and
their children uneducated.
Crops in this county are over an aver
age at this time. In some places they are
suffering for rain.
hope more of the Patrons in this county
will take our paper-THE PATRON, Bro.
HARDY will wake up Jasper county, if he
keeps his health, unless their sleep is ssthe
sleep of death" Fraternally,

CORN BREAD.

The cheapest food in America is
corn bread properly made. 1t is also
very healthful and invigorating. 1t is
the main dependence of the very poor.
1t requires but trifie over pound OF
it per day to keep the human system
in health and vigor, and this pound
costs only about one cent. OF course a
little salt, lard and chemical prepara-
ton is used to make it light and saw
Dry, but the cost is trifling. Eggs,
buttermill, etc., added make great
Improvement. The old.fashion New
England Johnny-cake, made just right,
is a treat in any family. The leap
which flour has made upwards will
cause many q poor family to pay more
attention to corn dodgers and johnny
cake. Made with skill, they arc a
valuable addition to the dietary of any
family.-Icurnt World.
There can be no question of the fact
that, for the South especially, corn
bread is far more wholesome than bread
made of wheat -four; in truth we have
almost arrived ut the conclusion that
Southern people cannot get along at all
without it. In times past writer's were
in the habit of railing much against
tthOg and hominy," meaning bacon
| and corn bread. Well, we don't be-
lleVc IN too much bacon as diet, but
we are sure If we use it at all we had
better associate the "hominy" with it.
Corn bread was made to go with bacon,
in our opinion. If you are not settled
in the same opinion please try a little
experiment Take n mouthfuf of food
composed Of bacon and Wheat bread,
and after you have worried it down,
take another with corn bread substitu-
ted for the wheat bread. If your taste
Is anything like ours you will find the
last mouthful to be far the most agree
| able of the two-there seems to be
something more congenial about the
| combination. 0. MI. r.f-.....
Northern people, as general rule,
do not much like corn bread, but,
strange as it may seem, their tastes
soon change after having located in
the South-one year among us and they
wouldn't do without corn bread for any
consideration, if they could help it

Washington but may have been extended through
all the large cities in the East. The circulars nV-
