From the Virginia Granger.
CO.Onprafiye StOreS.

We notice in the communication
of our valued correspondent from
Frederick county, published in the
Granger of last week, that it is the
purpose of the members Of the Or
der in that county to raise funds for
the purpose of starting a grange
store, and it is proposed to raise the
stock upon the cooperative plan,
or upon the JOINT STOCK plan.
We wish to caution our good
brothers in regard to theJoINT STOCK
plan, and we now predlct that if II
be carried out, the enterprise will
rot only fail, but the Order will re
ceive a blow from which it will
take years to recover.
1t has been tried time and again,
in various sections of the State, and
in every single instance of which
we know anything, it has proved a
grand failure. and entailed almost
entire destruction upon the Order.
If it were necessary we could name
many instances in which this has
been the result, and therefore we
would urge the good Patrons of the
grand old county of Frederick to
avoid the ROCK upon which SO many
enterprises have failed. The coop
erative plan is the only sure one.
Try 1T, or try NONE.
We shall revert to this matter
again. In the meanwhile we clip
the following from the New York
Tribune of the 18th:
1.-The cooperative store movement
is making sure progress in Brooklyn.
One store on the Rochdale plan
started last March has doubled its
capital and declared a dividend, and
a second coucern of the same kind
is soon to be opened. Nothing is
wanting TO the success of these en-
terprises but competent manage
ment and the cordial interest of the
working people who are benefited
by them. The principle is sound
and its advantages are fully shown

happiness of the people of the whole
country. The most distinguished
men of the North, South, East and
West are members of the Grange.
The sessions of the National Grange
in the District of Columbia, St
Louis, Charleston, Louisville, Chi
cago and Canandaigua were delight
full feasts of good feeling and true
fraternity. In these convocations
the representative men of the nation
were present, from ocean to ocean,
and from the lakes to the gulf. An
era of national good feeling is now
manifest every where and the peo-
pie are rejoicing over it.
We claim, without fear of sue.
cessful contradiction, that the
Grange has done more towards
briging about this happy state of
things than all other causes com
bined, whether we get credit for it
or not. Indeed, we have the con-
ISOLATION of knowing it, and feel that
it makes but little difference who
gets credit for it, The fact itself is
a glorious one, and all good citizens
rejoice in it. But the good work is
not yet complete. Let us presevere.

school Books tor Farm erS'
Children.

The action of the Texas State
Grange in recommending the
adoption of Appleton's celebrated
school books by the farmers of that
State in their schools, has attracted
considerable attention throughout
the South, and it is but question
of time when they will be adopted
in all the schools controlled by the
farmers. The plan suggested by
the Texas State Grange, and that
plan is explained in the resolution
which follows the card of the Texas
Cooperative Association in another
column, will work these important
results:
L. The farmers will have a con-
trolling voice in the selection Of the
hooks in the schools which their
children attend. Heretofore, this
important matter has been con-
trolled by the school teacher and the
local retail book seller.
2. The farmers will get the best
school books in the world. Apple
tons books are unquestionably the
best in use, and are rapidly taking
the place of all others. Il was but
recently that they were adopted in
the public schools of Memphis and
Shelby county, Tenn, and are in
use in the leading cities of the
country.
3. The saving in the cost will be
large. When wholesale supply
depots are established throughout
the South, as at Galveston. Texas,
the farmers will procure them from
their cooperative stores on the CO
operative plan, and those who have
experience in cooperation under
stand what that means.
We would suggest to members of
Oranges in Texas, who intend to
purchase school books, to cores
pond with ]. S. Rogers, agent of
the Texas COOPERATIVE Association
at Galveston. He will give prices
and full particulars.

The nomination of General Han
cock has effectuallv disposed of the
"bloody- shirt" business. A rumber
of leading Republicans in New
York, who have been opposed to
the extreme position of their party
but were powerless to change it,
have come out openly for Hancock.
The New Haven Union, the ablest
and leading Greenback Journal in
in New England and true friend
of the toiling millions, has hoisted
the Hancock ticket. 1t says that
Garfield. the Credit Mobilier stock
holder and back salary grabber, and

who defrauded Tilden of his election
MUST BE DEFEATED.

ing the tendency of things in the

The Order in Tennessee is stead :
lily gaining strength. In the list of
Oranges just sent to US by Bro. +.
H. Currey, the efficient Secretary
of the State Grange, we notice that
there are some sixty more working
Oranges in the State than in Feb
ruary last, and from our cores
pondents we learn that the old
Oranges are receiving large access
ions. The co operative stores in
operation in Tennessee have been
remarkably successful and their
number will now increase. The
Ordeain Tennessee has always had
able and patriotic men in the lead,
and these are as earnest in the cause
to-day as when it appeared to be
more popular and powerful. And
their work is telling. They are laying
the foundations broad and deep
upon which is being built one of
the nobltst structures, and one that
viii last for years, ever erected in
the cause of human liberty and pro-
gress. When the great body of
farmers become educated, as the
leaders of the Grange are, they will
appreciate the grandeur of their or
ganlzation, and the great necessity
that demands its efficiency and per-
petuity, and will rally as one man
to its standard.

The Clement Attachment.

This great invention, which is
destined to revolutionize the manu-
facture of cotton in this country, is
making steady progress throughout
the Cotton States. One factory in
North Carolina, at Matthews De-
pot, netted a profit of s. per cent
on the capital invested during last
twelve months, and the proprietors
say it will net them As per cent
during the coming year. The "new
process" factory at Senoia, Ga, re-
Gently erected is coming up fully to
the expectations of the proprietors.
Col Whitfield, the general man
ager, sold county and individual
rights in Texas, Mississippi, Ala
bama, Georgia and North Carolina
in June, and the demand is so great
for machinery that he has had to
contract with manufacturers at sew
eral points to manufacture the At
tachment. BY fall these factories
will be going up by hundreds in
each of the Cotton States.
