The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1880-10-23

1t is not the greatest number of
members that make a Grange, but
it is the working members that keep
the Grange alive. We should not
wait for one another-the brothers
for the sisters, or the sisters for the
brothers. There is a great work
for all TO do, and one can not do
all. We should also try to increase
our membership, and not to be
Grangers just to save all we can.
There is something else to be done
besides making money. There is
much more sociability in the Grange
than is shown outside. That alone
should be worth great deal to us.
Each one should try to have some
thing prepared for each meeting, so
that we can make our meetings
more interesting without taking up
much time. If we had our work
prepared and not wait until we got
to the Grange room to iprepare it,
it would make our Grange meetings
shorter, and in all probability we
would have better attendance and
better meetings; the older members
would not get sleepy and wish for
the Grange to be over There is
plenty to make the Grange inter
esting, if we only exert our efforts
to make it so.
