THE UNWRITTEN WORK.

| have just received from Bro. T. A.
Thompson, of Minnesota, copy of his
"Unwritten Work of the Order in Cy-
pher." 1t is easily deciphered, however,
by those who have taken the 4th degree
and are familiar with the terms, signs, sig
nails, etc. This book will supply want
that has long been felt, and should be in
the hands of every officer of the Grange.
1t will not only secure uniformity in the
working of the Oranges through the in
structions it contains, but will invest the
usual ceremonies with deeper interest
because their significance will be better
understood. l predict general demand
for this little book, which will be neatly
bound in cloth. Bro. Thompson, who is
Past Lecturer of the National Grange,
and is an earnest, Jealous Patron, whose
whole soul is in the cause, has long since
realized the necessity for such means of
promoting uniform Grange work, and de-
serves liberal support as just tribute to
his services in behalf of the Order.

Gold Weather Ahead

IVennor, the Canadian Weather Pnophet.J
Mild as the weather has been
through January. it would be foolish
OF rs were We to commence talking
about a mild winter (ls some news
papers are doing) before we are "out
OF the bush, for February looks
black and forbidding and very ice
breathed. [ have already predicted
for this month two sharp periods of
weather for Canada, and as these may
possibly extend over a considerable
portion Of the northern United States,
l send you this further notice of them.
One of the heaviest falls of the
wiutoI 10 lihUly ~ guile upon US on
the I'd or Sd of February, and COCA
sion deep drifts and railroad block
AIDES. Following this Immediately,
cold snap will set il of considerable
severity, lasting some four or five
days. Next will come a period Of
mildness, even warmth, with rain and
slush up to about the 18th or Il6th,
The 10th will give US the second
heavy snowfall of the month, with
drifts again and another railroad
blockage. Between the Goth and 25th
the second cold term will probably
set in, and this bids fair to be very
severe and occasion some very low
thermometer readings. This, with
the exception of one considerable
thaw in this month. The 18th and
2lst of March VII again give heavy
snow falls, and it is probable that in
this month we will have more snow
than at any time previous during the
winter of 1SS0. Such is the substance
of my predictions for the winter we
are in.

FROM ARKANSAS
MILLER COUNTY.

MILLER COUNTY.
Editor Patron Do not conclude that
the Grange in Miller county is dead or
dying, for | assure you that none of the
members here entertain any such idea.
No, the Grange is fixture here. Were
it to fail every where else it would not
influence US to become lukewarm, for
we see too much good that has and will
continue to result to all who put forth an
effort TO make it success. Brethren,
who of you expects to accomplish any
thing without an effort? You may pos
sess the best farm in the Mississippi Val
ley, but unless you cultivate it, put forth
an effort, could you expect to realize an
abundant harvest? So it is with the
Grange We must work. We must
study, think and mediate upon the great
truths of our beloved Order. Our interest
demands that we must make the Grange
a success and to do this we must be up
and doing.
We have in successful operation CO.
operative association on small scale and
l am pleased to say that it is fast gaining
ground. We have just completed the
purchase of house and lot in Texarkana,
where we hope in future to do an i'm
mense business. L. J.
