LOWNDES COUNTY.

Editor Patron. At the regular
meeting of Powell Grange, No. 244,
April I6, the following resolution
was offered by Bros. c. A. Shedd
and M. A. J. Evans, and unani-
mously adopted:
Resolved, That we recommend to
our Brothers and others thar they
subscribe for and read THE PATRON
OF HUsBANDRY, published by Bro.
w. H. Worthington, at Columbus,
Miss, which is the official journal
of the State Oranges of Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia and Mississippi.
We can not understand how a
Granger can do his duty without a
Grange paper.
AT this meeting we had a full
turn out. A resolution was adopted
in reference to building a Grange
hall. A building committee was APP
pointed, who located the place for
it. Several applicants for member
ship. We now number over fifty
active members. We had several
stirring speeches at this meeting.
1t was worth one quarters dues
to any one to have been there and
seen the dinner, and heard the dox.
ology sung and played on our new
organ, without partaking or part,

One of the most pleasing and en-
couraging features of our business
is, that THE PATRON seldom loses,
one of its active supporters. Quite
a number of leading Patrons in this
State, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas,
Tennessee, Alabama and Florida
have sent US in clubs regularly since
1875, and many of them have largely
increased the size of their clubs. In
but two counties in Texas-Bell and
Limestone-has there been any fall
ing off in our circulation this year,
while in Lee, Hopkins, Freestone,
Grimes, Ellis, Caldwell, Milan, Fay
cite and Washington it has steadily
increased. In this State, Jefferson
and Adams are the only counties in
which there is decrease, while the
circulation has increased in Lafay
cite, Pontotoc, Yalobusha, Choctaw,
Holmes. Kinds, Rankin, Simpson,
Copiah, Franklin and Wilkinson.
We hope that in the few counties
where we have lost subscribers, our
friends will redouble their efforts
and make up the losses.

A. M. Kellar, of Bell county, with
us, who will deliver public speech
in the morning. After dinner, there
will be a Grange meeting, and the
Pomona Grange is expected to meet
also. There will be a grand rally on
that occasion, and all the farmers are
invited to attend. sa4 4a.97. s
Bro. Kellar will begin a series of
meetings in Milan county which /
have been arranging for some time,
and after consulting with farmers
and Patrons, have settled on the fol-
lowing programme: Beginning at
AID Hall on Saturday, MayjI. where
it is hoped the farmers will have a
May day picnic; at Yarrelltown,
on Monday, May 2; at Jones Prai-
rie, Little River Church or MAYS

the 4th; at Port Sullivan or vicinity
on the 5th; at any other point that
the farmers may select between Port
Sullivan and Milano or Prospect

Grange near Rockdale on the Sth;
thence at Rising Sun Grange, 10
miles southwest of Rockdale, on the
10th; at San Gabriel Grange on the
nth; and at Davilla on the I2th.
The lectures will all be public, and
it is hoped that the farmers in each
neighborhood viii have picnic and
give the farmer-orator a good large
crowd to talk to, for he is able to
entertain them. Bro. A. M Kellar

with a similar article in his coop

2s cents. This is not only hinder
ance to cooperation, but loss to
customer.
Another instance, showing him

bought hat for 81. so at the coop

asked and told what he paid. I'm

Inform yourself what goods cost
at your own store, as all share
holders are entitled to know, if they
can keep it to themselves, like any
other merchant Then when any
one of you are offered articles
cheaper than they can be furnished
from the great centers, buy the
whole of it, if your store needs it
in stock, or send the manager and
buy as much as may be needed.
Then go to your own store and buy
what you need of it, at the usual
retail price and whatever profit is
made in the transaction will be re
turned to you on what you buy of
it. When you propose to take the
articles offered you under cost, the
proposition will either be with
drawn or no other offer of similar
kind will be made. That has been
fully tested in other localities.
Another help to cooperation is
that adopted by one of Mt. Nebo's
members. He buys for cash at the
store, furnishes his laborers at the
commission merchants credit price,
and after paying himself interest on
his money, divides profits with the
laborers. 1t is accepted as salts
factory. And one of the present
needs is to satisfy labor without
it, it will change and leave in hope
of receiving better pay. 1t moves
now, not from political reasons di-
rectly, but because the competitive
business system takes about all that
he makes, and commonly leaves
a debt on him beside; flesh and
blood will tire at that, and desire
any change that has hope in it, and
hence the promise held out of a
place where better can be done
moves the labor, whether the prom
Use be true or false they will go and

some will start and go, though they
meet others on the way back who
say there is no gold there. 80

The following was evidently tut
tered by true farmer: "The coun-
try home can be made very pleasant
by fixing up the yards and houses
more than they now are. Farmers
should be without debts, and then
they can make farm life very pleas
ant. The farmer should read and
study several hours eveyi day. He
should have good laborers, and have
them understand that his interests
are theirs. Plenty of reading mat.
ter should be kept on hand at all
times Instead of straight lines
about the place devote more space
to landscape gardening. The keep
ing of good stock will always add
to the pleasure of farming. Farm
ers should get out and interchange
views with each other" aia'.

REMARKS.

i am in receipt OF letter from valued
friend, who writes that the market reports
of our Association, and especially the
A." remarks" appended, are read with great
interest, and with " critical eye" From
letters received by many friends of the
Southwestern, it is very evident they are
anxious that the Association may become
a great power for good. There has here
tofore been too much timidity. We have
stockholders who have never given us any
business. One Brother, a stakeholder
wrote as follows: Z" have been watching
your progress for three years, and am now
satisfied you will succeed" In all these
three years he never put a brick in our
building, nor scotched the edifice with a
kindly lift. He was waiting to see if the
horse would live without eating. l will
do him the justice, most gladly, to add,
that he says believe you will succeed
and hencefourth you shall have my sup
port"
If all our friends could only see the i'm
portance of having in this great city an
Institution of their O1vH-one that was in
full sympathy with the farmer, and one
upon which several States would concen-
trate-we would soon have power plant
ed in this great city that all would be
proud Of ........
am glad to add that our correspond
ence gives evidence of tide setting in
that in another year will place us in a
strong position. Cooperative stores are
increasing and there is a determination al
along the line to meet our most sanguine
expectations.

Crazed by Religious Zeal-A COiored
 Man Murders His Two Children.
 LOUISVILLE, May 10.-Much excitement was caused at Clarksville, this State, last Fri day, by the lodgment in jail of Daniel Lyle, colored, his wife and negro woman named Susan Talley. Lyle and his wife have recently become perfect mononapiacs upon religious Saviour. his wife the Virgin Mary, and Susan Talley, who lives with them, prophecies. In his zeal he has, on divers occasions, appeared at places of worship for both white and black people, and insisted on playing his part as preacher. Yesterday Constables Ronily and Saunders procured war rant for his arrest upon the charge of dis turbing public worship, and went to his house to execute the same. Lyle resisted fu- riously, and assaulted Constable Saunders with an axe. Constable Romley fired three shots at Lyle. one of which took effect in his right breast and the other two in the groin. Lyle then returned to his house and barricaded the windows and doors, but he surrendered when Sheriff Mosely appeared with an additional posse. Upon entering the house the officers smelled putrid flesh, and on making search, found two of Lyle's children, aged respective ly three and five years, dead, with their necks broken. The impression is that the murder was instigated by the two women, who have both yielded strong influence over sLyle, and that he did the killing to relieve the wo- men of the care of the children, believing that for the occasion he was Herod. Lyle's wounds are very painful, but are not consid- cred mortal

Gladstone Favorable Go Austria's Wel-
 fa.e.
 LONDON, May 10.-Last week MT. Glad stone wrote to Count Karolyi saying that when he accepted the duty of forming new administration he resolved that he would not as minister either repeat or defend in argu- ment any political language in regard to more than one foreign power which he had used individually when in position of great CT freedom and less responsibility. He ex- presses his regret in imputing to the Emperor of Austria language that he did not use. MT. Gladstone states that he is not hostile towards Austria and wishes the Emperor of Austria well in consolidating the empire, and cordially respects the efforts of the Emperor and hopes that success will nobly mark his reign. Mir. Gladstone, however, does not conceal his grave apprehension that Austria plays part in the Balkans hostile to the freedom of the emancipated population. His ap- prehensions are founded upon sec ondary evidence, but not of hostile witnesses, which was the best at his con- mand But Count Karolyi having given as surances that Austria had no desire to add to her rights acquired under the Berlin treaty. MT. Gladstone says if he had been in posses sion of this assurance before he would not have uttered the words which Count Karolyi describes as being painful and wounding. In conclusion MT. Gladstone expresses serious concern in having made statements which he now banlshes from his mind and wishes to make his amend as public as his speech.
