Rev. DR.. A. @. George, the new minister
Of the Centenary NJ. E. Church Of this
city, was insugurated into the pastorate OIL
that church this morning. The house
holds about two thousand people. and II
was crowded to Its utmos. capacity. The
impression made by the gentleman was
decidedly good. His manner is entirely
different from that OF Rev. DR.. Thomas,
the former pastor. Much pleasant anxiety
was expressed to hear the new minister.
II DR.. Thomas was liberal in his religious
views, Rev. Dr.. Georges teachings are Ger.
tainly exacting enough to suit the most
orthodox. He took for the theme Of

ing confidence in you all, that my joy is
the Joy OF you ALL"
The sermon was undeniably an able
effort, and at the close OF the service the
congregation expressed general satisiac-
ton.

Of preaching has stronger effect, and his

which has been put in circulation relative
to bargain between General Garfield,
Grant, Conkling and Logan on the occa-

Itcan also be stated on like authority
that the National Associated Press dispatch
relative to talk with General Garfield on
the tariff question was purely bogus al

General would have nothing to say 70 him
on the subject OF his mission.
Delegations from Lake, Ashtabula and

Cooperation is the very ground
work of the Grange. Take that
away and there remains nothing of
the organization. Indeed all organ
izations, it matters not under what
name they may be started, nor for
what purpose they may be intended,
depend for success upon the practi-
cal application of the principles of
cooperation. If the Grange has
effected any thing for good in the
past, it has been brought about by
cooperation; if it would effect any
thing IN the future, it must be done
by the members acting together.
If there be unwise and unjust leg
islation affecting the interests Of the
great agricultural class, and it be
the purpose to remedy the same, it
can only be done by cooperating
together as agriculturists. Just SO
soon as it be attempted in any other
way failure will be the result. Po-
litical parties and political leaders,
it makes no difference by what name
they may be called, all have the same
object in view, which is to obtain
the offices and divide the spoils.
The good of the country is a mi
nor consideration, and, whether we
like to admit it or not, the facts all
go to prove it. Besides, the legisla
tors are taken from that class and
profession who never do anything
except for pay, or a good prospect
for pay. Lawyers never make
speeches, nor advocate measures
without having an eye to the reward.
1t may be in dollars and cents, or it
may be in emolument and office,
and the consequence is the legisla-
ton of the whole country, State
and National, proves conclusively
that, as Legislators, lawyers are a
FAILURE. Money controls the
tongue, directs the thoughts, infiu-

Worthy Master A. j. Rose of the
Texas State Grange.

Col. w. w. Lang, who has for
several years occupied the position
of Master of the Texas State Grange,
has resigned, and by virtue of his
position as Overseer, Bro. A. T.
Rose is now acting Master. We
make the announcement that A. 7.
Rose is now at the head of the
Grange in the great State of Texas
with singular pleasure. In all the
South, no man has worked more
earnestly, more untiringly, more
unselfshly and more efficiently to
upbuild and perpetuate our grand
organization than this sturdy farm
er If there is a man in Texas who
can sympathise with the toiling
masses of that great State in their
hardships, their expressions and
their aspirations, that man is the
present Master of the State Grange.
And now that the Grange in Texas
as in other States is making a for
ward movement, and strong arms
and clear heads are needed at the
helm, it may well be said that "the
hour and the man have met"
Worthy Master Rose will prove
one of the ablest and most popular
State Masters in the Union, and
under his administration the pro-
gress of the Grange in Texas will
be steady. healthful and glorious.
