We send copies of this issue of THE
PATRON to all the working Oranges, and
TO several hundred dormant Oranges, in
Tennessee. We respectfully request each
Master or Secretary receiving a copy TO
induce as many members to subscribe as
possible. AS THE PATRON is the only
strictly Grange journal in the Southwest,
we belive that it is to the interest of Pa
irons and farmers to subscribe for it and
give it wide circulation, that its influence
and efficiency as an advocate of their
cause may be enlarged and increased. 1t
is our purpose to make it of special value
and interest to members of the Order in
Tennessee, and we hope to receive club
of five, ten or more from every Grange,
active or dormant, in the State.

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

Worthy Deputy A. F. Naff, of Greene
county, Tenn, has commenced the work
OF revivng the Order in his county with
great zeal and earnestness. There were
formerly twenty Oranges in Greene coun-
ty, and the Deputy has issued call for
meeting, at Greeneville on Monday next,
OF members Of all the Oranges, for the pur-
pose Of organizing strong central Grange
from which to work to rebuild the Order
throughout the entire county. The idea
is a good one, and if acted on promptly
and earnestly by all the County Deputies,
the Order in Tennessee would soon be-
come stronger and more efficient than
ever. We hope to publish the proceed
lngs of the meeting at Greeneville in our
next.

yass will be seen at the next meeting of
the State Grange, which we predict will
be one of the best attended yet held in the
State. r,a.t
Worthy Master Darden is accompanied
in his present tour by the Manager of the
Southwestern Cooperative Association,
Bro. I. J. Carver, whose headquarters are
at New Orleans: Bro. Carver explains

The PATRON goes every week to hun
dreds OF Patrons and Oranges in Florida,
Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkan-
sas, Louisiana and Texas. No paper in
the South has SO extended a field Of ope-
Fations, and it will soon have larger CIR
fulatioa than any weekly in our section
The good which THR PATRON can ac'
aomPlish by Its advocacy of the principles
and measures of the Order, and by the
publication of letters from leading Patrons
IN these States, is simply incalculable Its
columns are not only calculated to interes
and instruct, but to revive the hopes ano

otherwise lose confidence in the move

We will in a few weeks present the
portraits and biographical sketches of the
members of the Executive Committee of
the Tennessee State Grange. These por-
traits will be arranged in a group, and we
think the Patrons of Tennessee will be
pleased with the appearance of the active,
earnest men who are at the head of their
organization. Thus it will be seen that Pa
trons and farmers of Tennessee will find
The PATRON specially attractive and in
teresting to them; They should subscribe
in time for the aboYe number.

WORTHY OVERSEER EIANCHER
OF TENNESSEE.

We are quite sure the members OF the
Order in Tennessee will appreciate the
compliment we pay them in presenting in
this issue of THE PATRON the splendidly
executed portrait of their well-tried and
popular leader, Worthy Overseer Han
cher. Our grand organization has no
more earnest or patriotic advocate of its
cause than the veteran Granger" of East
Tennessee, and his handsome portrait,
which indicates heart ''overf1owing with
the milk of human kindness" should
have place in every Grange hall and
home in Tennessee. ~.

COTTON


The price, of cotton in Liverpool con
tinue to advance. Orleans middling has
again reached 81 pence. We fear the ad
vance is speculative and can not be main
tanned, the bulk of American cotton left
over being in the hands of spectators, and
gamblers in futures, who handle no cotton,
manipulating prices. It is true, the in
coming crop will be far short Of what all
thought month ago that it would be.
Rains, rot, rust and worms, aresplaying
havoc with it-everywhere.o But the uni
versal depression in trade ia cotton goods
will not admit the maintenance, OF. the
present advance. Middiing cotton is quo
ted at IIc. in Mobile II5c. in New Or
leans, and Is4c. in Philadelphia. 1t will
be observed that home prices have not
fully responded to the advance in Liver
pool, being over cent lower than they
were some months ago when the price in
Liverpool reached Ct pence. i9iafni f

sketch. In the year 1S45, impelled by a
high sense of duty, he entered into the self
denying work of the Ministry, in copnec-
ton with the Lutheran Church, in which
work he is still actively engaged. In the
year 1874, he was forward in getting up
an organization of Patrons of Husbandlry,
and on the s4th of June r. p. Rhea, Dep
uty for Sullivan county, organized Mill
Point Grange, No. 949, Of which j. X.
Hancher was elected Master, which posi-
ton he still occupies. In the fall of 1874
he was chosen Master of the County
Council, and when the County Grange
was constituted, he was, by a unanimous
vote, elected Master, and served three
terms. AT the last election he declined a
reelection, and his mantle fell upon Bro
A. J. Cox, County Court Clerk, who is
every way worthy to wear it. He was
delegate to the State Grange in 1876 and
1878. He served one term as Chaplain
of the State Grange, and at the session OF
1873, was elected Overseer. aA
In all the positions he has occupied in
the Grange, Bro. Hancher has. displayed
splendid ability, both as presiding and ex
ecutive officer, and has discharged every
official duty with a zeal and enthusiasm
that neither obstacles nor disasters have
ever dampened. His attachments to the
principles of the Order are undated; hi

THE "NEW PROCESS OF MAN
UFACTURIN(I COTTON

The Clement Attachment or ''new pro-
cess" system of manufacturing cotton is
making steady progress. 1t is absolutely
certain to revolutionize the entire cotton
manufacturing system Of the country. A
few years hence it will compel the aban-
donment of factories in New and Old
England and bring them to the cotton
fields of the South.
The "new process" factories in North
and South Carolina already in operation
are doing finely. Others will be establish
ed in those States. One is being erect
ed at Conway, Faulkner county, Ark, of
which the "Log Cabin" has this to say:
The cotton factory is our theme. The
building is now in process of erection and
will be completed, the machinery put in
and work will begin by the 18TH of No
vember. 1t is stock company and has
capital of $4,000, one-third of which
has been paid in. They own real estate
valued at s. 1000, which was donated. .-
The largest portion of the stock is held
by our own citizens, thus making home
enterprise. D. r. Wing & CO., of Little
Rock are making the shaftings, hangers,
&c. The Clement Attachment is being
made in Philadelphia. The machinery is
bought direct from the manufacturers,
thus saving several commissions. All the
machinery is of the very latest improve
ments and the best the market affords.
We predict that within few years the
South will be filled with these small fac
tories and manufacture at home the raw
material which is now freighted to the
New England factories through the hands
of commission merchants, saving freight
age, commissions, stealage, drayage, bag
ging and ties. The building is frame, sit
uated quarter of mile east of the depot
The dimensions are, length I 10 feet width
s. feet. The building is two stories high
and has a basement s feet high. The
foundation is of brick When completed
and running they viii employ about
twenty-five hands. The engine will be a
60 horse power and of beautiful work
manship. The officers are ], E. Martin,
president, ]. w Thompson, secretary, and
A. r. Witt, treasurer.

There are many well meaning farmers
who have lost interest in the Grange and
think its power has passed away, because
it makes less noise than it did when the
politicians, lawyers and merchants crowd
ed in. But there is no good reason for
this loss of interest, and for any lack
OF confidence in the capacity of
the Grange as a reformatory organ
izatlon. The Order is really more efficient
at this time in most of the States than it
ever was. The men at it's head are ear
nest, working men, who are thorough
going Patrons, and who believe strongly
in the principles of the Ordea. And of
equal importance, the work to be accom-
plished is more clearly defined and more
practical, and the ways and means to give
form and force to measures better under
stood and more at command. The far
mers knew that they We're shamefully
robbed and oppressed under the old
business system, and earnestly sought
relief through the Grange, but their eff
forts at first were worse than failures. The
agency system and the joint-stock stores
proved inadequate to the ends so earnestly
desired and expected, and their failure
naturally dampened the hopes and spirits
of the farmers at large. 1t was not until
the Rochdale cooperative system, as rec
commended by the National Grange, be-
gan to be adopted and successfully prac
ticed, and which opened the way of es
cape from the tyranny and ruinous exac-
tions of the merchants system, that the
more intelligent members felt that they
were getting on solid ground, and that the
Grange could be made the practical re-
formatoly organization demanded by the
wants and interests of the farmers of the
country.
Let the doubling farmers, those whose
faith in the capacity of the Grange to take
care of itself after the politicians, lawyers
and merchants left it, give close attention
to the work now going on and to the
character of the men at the head of the
Order, and they must be convinced that
the Grange is a fixed institution in this
country, and that its power andinfiuence
in business, industrial and political affairs
will steadily increase. There is now no
excuse but ignorance for any farmer to
hold back from the Grange. EaJ s<oE

The cotton seed question is exciting
considerable attention from farmers and
Patrons in this and other States. The
folly of selling their cotton seed to the
oil companies at one-ffth of its value is so
apparent, that it is only necessary to pro-
pose cooperative movement to hold
back the seed TO secure general action.
Every Grange in the Cotton States should
give close and continued attention to this
important question. sf.....l

the fraudulent bonds from total repudia-
ton, and to free the roads from the liens
which secured the payment ofthe bonded
debt, n ominally the States debt but really
their own. An act was passed authori-
zing the railroads to buy up the depreci-
ated 'Brounlow bonds" and pay them in
to the State treasury, the State to release
her liens on the roads to an amount equal
to the face value of the bonds so paid in.
The thing was done, the fraudulent
Brownlow bonds were taken up by the
State in spite of the determination of the
people to repudiate them, the liens of the
State on the roads were cancelled, and the
railroad bonds were strapped on the
backs of the people so far as it was in the
power of usurping government to do
this. But the voice of the people has null
lifted the nefarious proceedings. The
holders of the bonds recognize the poten-
cy of this voice and are taking steps to en-
force their claims against their real debt

politicians, that Secretary Sherman is
and for some time past has been quietly,
but none the less effectually, using his
power with the Federal Office holders in
the South to secure delegates to the sec.

him. This fact is arousing the stalwart

South, where there is no Republican
party to speak OF, as likely to break the
Grant boom at the North, in States that
are reliably Republican. Besides, by
the aid of the Hayes administration
North, the postmasters and other Off
