We cheerfully give place to the
following resolution from Amite
County Grange, Miss: ~ s.t
Resol0ed, That the manufacture
of cotton bagging for wrapping our
cotton bales would increase the con-
sumption of our staple to an extent
that would enhance the present
market value of cotton, and render
present prices stable for years to
come. w4ss -.sJ reg sata t.si ..r
RESOLVED, That our Lecturer be
instructed to furnish the editor of
THE PATRON OF HUsBANDRY, pub,
lished at Columbus, Miss, a copy
of the foregoing resolution, with
the view of eliciting his opinion on
the merits of the same. sra fsdl
We think that the farmers of the
cotton States should give their at
tention mainly to getting rid of the
cotton bale entirely and concen-
trating their money and efforts to
the erection of "New Process I"
factories. The sooner our farmers
commence work in the direction of
manufacturing their cotton by the
Clement Attachment system, the
sooner will they enter upon that era
of prosperity and independence
which has been the dream of their
life

The Right Spirit.

Many leading Patrons through.
out the South are working earn
estly and with fair success to extend
and increase the circulation and
efficiency of THE PATRON. These
thoughtful, practical men fully APP
preciate the importance of the sup
port of the public press in a popular
movement like the Grange, and
when they induce their neighbors
to subscribe for Grange journal,
it is not so much to benefit the Pub
Usher as to promote their own in
terests and build up the Grange,
No Patron ought to be satisfied
with taking and reading his Grange
paper, but he should endeavor to
place it in the hands of his neigh
bors upon whose support the sue
cess of the Order depends. If all
the friends of THE PATRON would
lake the view Vi lIIlS lIldICCI IIldI
the earnest brother whose letter APP,
pears below does, its circulation
would soon be doubled. We com
mend this letter to the consideration
of every reader of. THE PATRON. :,
Editor Patron: A copy of your excellent
Grange paper fell into my hands in Janu-
airy last, and was SO we'll pleased with it
that l and another member of my Grange
at once subscribed for it. Since then j
have become more and more pleased with
it, and convinced that its wide circulation
would subserve the best interests of our
noble Order. Last week sent you a club
of ten, and herewith inclose-the names
of another club of FIRE with the money.
shall continue to solicit subscriptions for
it, and if every Master of a subordinate
Grange would go to work for it in the
right spirit, we could soon placeit in the
home of every Grange family in the

The addresses and letters of mem


The addresses and letters of mem
bers of the Order which appear in
our columns give unusual interest
to this ! issue Of The PATRoN.
They indicate that all over the
country the toiling masses ars~aot
only reading l.and-thinfing about
their rights and the expressions to
which they have been-snbjected by
other classes, but that they are
talking and reading ABOUT them
boldly, earnestly, and intelligently,
and that they are getting ready TO
assert and maintain their rights and
put a stop to these expressions.
With discussion in the Grange OF
questions of such vital importance,
the movement will necessarily COM
mand more and-more the attention
of the farmers at large, who will
naturally enlist under its banner as
they become familiar with its prin-
ciples and purposes and learn its ca
pacityI for .effecting practical, far
reaching reform.
