lear, properly APPRECIATE VI lCai-
ize. 1t is devoted especially to the
building up of the farming interest
but does not neglect those things
that will make the whole COM
munity more prosperous and happy.
The lady Patrons of Evergreen
Grange, No. sos, claim nc, praise
at the hands of any one for the part
that they took in initiating the pres
ent movement against King Aleho-
hol in this State; but to them is due
the lasting gratitude of all friends
of temperance for their influence,
and it was the starting point of the
present movement against intern
perance.
The Grange Hall Of sos is in the
the town of Decatur, Newton coun-
ty, Mississippi. Not far from the
Hall was retail grocery, kept by
a man that had as much order in
and around his house as was posi-
BILE to have around such a place;
the Grange meetings were on Sat
urdays, and men would be drinking,
talking loud, swearing, and doing
such things as men under the in
fluence of spirits usually do. The
Matrons talked of the annoyance of
such scenes, language and conduct
that they were obliged to see and
hear. or not attend the meetings of
the Grange. The brothers talked
it over and consulted what was best
to be done. Some of our best citi-
zens took hold of it right. They
petitioned the Legislature to pro-
hibit the sale of Intoxicating liquor
within a certain distance of the
courthouse. Our faithful Repre-
sentative put it before the servants
of the people. 1t there met with
friends as we'll as foes, several places
in the State availed themselves of
the provisions of the bill so as to
embrace particular places, and now
a mighty voice goes up from Kinds
county, where the State capital is
situated, for her citizens to meet in
counsel and devise means for the
suppression of this great evil. SO
this little beginning of Evergreen
Grange is awakening the whole
State to action, and may it continue
to spread until the State of Missis-
sippi is protected from the blghting
curse of drunkenness, as the town
Of Decatur now is. What a bless
ing It will be to many now unhappy
homes. Does any one doubt its be
ing a blight and a milldew upon
our fair and prosperous State?
Does any one deny the Legislature
the power to prohibit the making.
introduction and sale Of Intoxicating
liquors into this State? The most
innocent and helpless are the prin-
cipal sufferers from it.
Sister Patrons, your power in the
Grange is not nor can it be weighed
or measured by anything the mind
of man can comprehend; attend
your meetings, foryou are laying the
foundation of lasting benefits not
only for yourselves but for future
generations.
The Grange cotton patches of
Evergreen Grange are fine and if no
mishap occurs Cooperative Store
No. sos, in Miss, will get fine lift
this fall, The Patrons that own
stock in it are mostly out of debt,
but have little means at present
In the spring they agreed to plant
Grange cotton patches-some one
acre some less-what it makes is to
be taken up in stock as soon as sold,
Can not any poor Grange have a
cooperative store by adopting this
plan in one or two wears? Frater
nally, HAMILTON COOPER.

Circular of Worthy Overseer
Rose of fhe State Grange.

Patrons of HnS6andry: L have
agreed with the Board of Directors
of the Texas Cooperative Associa-
ton to travel in the interest of CO.
operation. At the last meeting of the
State Grange a resolution was pass
ed requesting me to travel and lee
ture in the interest of the Order,
and realizing that the continued
prosperity of the Grange cause is
in a great measure dependant upon
financial co operation, and that the
work suggested is identical with
this view, | propose to again enter
the field with renewed zeal and de
termination upon the great and inn
portant work-that is the promo
ton Of the cause of agriculture and
the interests of those engaged in it
believing as | do, that the pros
perity of the country depends upon
the prosperity Of the farmer. But
farmers, I can do but little without
your assistance and CO operation.
Shall | have it? l desire to visit
every county as rapidly as l can,
and will at my appointments give
all the information necessary for or
ganizing Cooperative Associations
on the true plan, and when desired
will organize Subordinate Oranges,
and reorganize dormant ones. The
Order is growing rapidly, where
cooperative enterprises have been
started properly, and the rules adj
hered to, and many thousands of
dollars have been saved in those
sactions to the farmers, who have
labored in this direction. Now Pa
irons, | am willing to help you in
the enterprise, but remember your
aid is necessary to success. Write
to me, one and all, and let me knew
what you want done, giving loca,
ton of your Grange, postoffice, and
directions to nearest depot on rail
road. If you will take the trouble
to work up these meetings and give
me your presence, will try and
make it profitable for you. | am
not in favor Of any extravaganza,
but have your dinner baskets with
you that we may spend the day to-
gether, and accomplish something.
Meetings should be held in the
Grange halls in the country, if pos
sible. l would rather meet ten or
twenty farmers and their wives,
who are determined, than thou
sand careless and Indifferent per-
sons.
l will in August visit Coryell,
Lampasas, Burnett and Williamson
counties. My course after this tour
will depend on the invitations | may
receive in the future. l intend 60
ing to Bastrop, Lee, and Fayette
this fall, thence to Dallas, Hunt,
Wood, Pamela and Houston coun-
ties, and would likeito go to Shelby,
San Augustine and Newton coun-
ties from Pamela. Of course my
route through these counties will
depend upon the letters and inform
alton received from correspondents.
Patrons, do not wait, but write me
at once of the condition and wants
of your section. In my travels
many places have been passed at
which Patrons were anxious to
meet me, but it was too late, my APP
pointments were already made. But
| urge upon all to meet me hereafter
and give me an opportunity to
show the practicable workings of
Patrons, will you do
it? Hoping to hear from at least
100 counties in the next four weeks.

Editor Patron: Our open air
Grange mass meeting on the 22d
inst, would have proved a grand
success but for the unfavorable
weather AS it was, there were
between four and five hundred per-
sons present, and if the day had
been pleasant there would have
been a thousand. Our speakers,
however, failed to be on hand, and
was the cause OF disappointment to
a great many. The dinner was on
a scale of magnitude more than
equal to the demands of the occa
sion. ., how we needed the ring
ing voice of the true, tried and elo-
quent Darden. We had, however.
public discussion of the question,
"Will it pay to purchase CONNER

generally participated in.

 AL the old Hacienda the tall chim- ncy Of t"e l.lic shelter looked quite encouraging. but not so much SO as the stream ot bright metal run out after a few hours firing up. The Golltree ore which I saw smeited there seems remarkably free from ad- verse mixtures, and ran freely with out fiux ol any kind except that car ried by the ore itself. A later visit to mine pleased me very much. IL was quite surprise Co see such a large pile of cTr--over 100 tons-and little or no VI ., with comparatively lutle development. In fact, the two feet and q half solid ore shows finely the whole depth of the shaft. now about 50 feet deep, and the mine seems very promising one. Seeing is believ- ing, and those who think there is nothing in the santa RItas will have to change their minds if they visit lhe GOldtree. 1 heafd of some very rich strikes in the same locality, bat did not have time ,n visit any ofthe mines.

The Nellie Boyd Company were greeted Thursday evening with packed house. Want of space pre- vents any extended notice of the mer- its of their performance, but it might be well 10 say they were unfortunate in their choice of a play for their opening night. With the limited means at their hand for proper rep resentation, they should fir their own sakes have chosen a play newer to our public. Almost every member oi 'ne audience last night was familiar "i'h |" Fanchon in years agone "heh Maggie Mitchell was in the glory Ol sprlghtlIness and mirth. Visions oi grander appointments and sceneiS could not but obtrude themselves 70 the spectator. And yet, in ;he race of all this, Miss Boyd and her com pany acquitted themselves in sur prisingly favorable manner and we oo not hesitate to pronounce their en- gagtnent a success.
