BY II. ESHBAUGH, MASTER OF THE MIS-
SOURI, STATE GRAoGE.
At the session of the Missouri State
Grange in October, 1879, it was resolved
that circulars be issued, setting forth the
object and purposes of the organization
of the Patrons of Husbanery. Also what
has been already accomplished, why more
was not done, and what may hereafter be
done; and also, the method and principle
of true co operation. This work was re-
ferred to the Executive Committee, and
they referred the same to the Master of
the State Grange, with request to pre-
pare and cause to be printed such circulars
as will best subserve the object in view.
We will in obedience thereto issue such
circulars in sections, giving facts, plain
and simple, so as to be clearly understood
by all, with request that they be care
fully read and considered, not only at the
firesde, but have them read at the Grange
meetings, considered and talked over so
that all may become conversant with the
object of our organization.
Education being fundamental princi-
pie Of our Order, we should make use of
every effort necessary to educate each
other; and we believe this to be one of the
means that can successfully employed to
accomplish the work In order to reach
desirable results by this method, each cir
cular cor section," should be carefully
read, properly considered, well under
stood and practically applied. With the
hope that this will be done, we will ven
ture upon the duty assigned us by giving
the first issue.

THE SOUTHWESTERN CO-OPE-
RATIVE ASSOCIATION, NEW
FANS

The work which this Association is ac-
conaplishing, the immense sums of money
it is saving the farmers of the Mississippi
Valley, make it one of the most important
business organizations in the country, and
it is destined soon to become one of the
leading business centres in the great COM
mercial metropolis of the South. The
principles upon which the Association is
based and conducted are so just and fair,
and the gentlemen at its head stand SO
we'll in point of capacity and integrity,
that there is no reason why any farmer in
the country should hesitate to intrust his
business with it. The General Manager,
Bro. 7. J. Carver, is thoroughly posted in
business affairs; he is gentleman of the
first order of ability, of great experience,
and is thoroughly fitted to manage great
business enterprise. The patrons of this
Association all express themselves highly
pleased with the system. We have our
self received numerous letters from men,
bers of the Order in Tennessee, Arkansas,
Louisiana and this State, all uniting in the
testimony that the promptness, fidelity
and efficiency of the General Manager
had fully won their confidence, and that
they ware fs.Il7-~~-:fc / --:+l- H. r>@-
rative system.
We alude to this Association so often
because it is conducted upon the true plan
as recommended by the National Grange;
we know it TO be worthy of the fullest
confidence, and that it is the interest Of
the farmers of the Mississippi Valley to
concentrate their business upon it. Their
watchword henceforth should be, Coop
Grafton!

We earnestly appeal to the Subordinate

Your Committee, afer consulting carefully
about the best means OF promoting the welfare of

Of raising means to meet the expense and would

the w orthy Master, upon his signifyng hts acGc

for his services to take the field after the above
named day and devote all his energies to revival
of the Order among the farmers of this State.
2nd. That the Secretary of this Grange be re-
quired, as soon as practicable after the adjourn

committee for his county, to ascertain at once
from each Subordinate Grange what it may be
willing, both boly individuals, to con-
tribute towards such salary, with instructions to
have their contributions sent to the Secretary OF
the State Grange in time to reach him by the first
day of March, 1880, with the understanding that
if more than enough is raised to meet the salary
the overplus be retained in the Treasury for a
similar purpose the following year, but if less he
shall be required to devote only so much time to

Bro ". H.WOrthinqton, Editor ot"zHe Patron
0fHHsbandry," Columbus, Miss:
Whilst attending the late meeting of the
National Grange at Canandaigua, n. Y,
a specimen copy of your enthusiastic and
instructive Grange journal, THE PATRON
OF HUsBANDRY, was handed to me by
Bro. w. H. Wilson, of the Florida State
Grange, who assured me of its noble and
influential work in his and other Southern
States, where the Order, as in Georgia,
| had become almost lifeless, but the spicy
columns of THE PATRON, with its vivid
lightning, were Frightening up the path
way of the blind that they might tread
therein without fear of stumbling, and its
ringing appeals, heard throughout our en-
| tire section, were awakening the slumber
ing brotherhood, and arousing them to
such enthusiasm that our organization was
! inspired with new life and earnest work.
| Reading the ardently Jealous columns of
| THE PATRON for the last two months and
Grange have fired my bosom with renew

advantage of your stirring appeals ema-
mating from the columns of THE PATRON,
| I feel assured that Georgia, like Florida,
Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas and Missis-
sppi, could be aroused from its unfortu.
nate apathy. Believing this, send you
respectable number of subscribers, and
| will add to tlIis list, that the farmers of
my State, reading THE PATRON, may be
like those of other States-inspired with
more Grange life and more Grange action.
l congratulate you upon your efficient,
noble and successful efforts, and ] con-
graduate our Order upon having an ad-
vocate SO bold, able and enthusiastic, for
such to day is the great need of the Or
der in many States. Many hattering COM
pliments have heard paid you from those
States that have had the advantage of
reading THE PATRON, which would de-
light Granger whose heart and head are
so de1 oted to the Grange as yours. trust
your enthusiastic efforts will be rewarded
with great success to the Grange, and The

that this great interest in which so large
