1t possible that readable letter could
be written from this place ut present,
though news items are very scarce.
Itcan hardly be said that the business
boom has struck Fairmont, though some
Of our coal mines have been running
rather steadily during the past few
months, and money does not appear to be
as tight as formerly. The coal interests
are looking up some little, but there is
still considerable room for improvement.
The exorbitant ireights charged by the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company,
coupled with a lack OF enterprise on the
part of the citizens Of Fairmont and the
surrounding country, in not having made
the proper efforts 10 obtain slackwater or
another railroad through this place from
somewhere to somewhere else, has not
tended TO develop our coal interests.
There are fortunes upon fortunes buried
within the. at present. "un-get.at-able"
hills OF this county, which a railroad up
the Monongahela, or the navigation Of
that stream, would put within reach OF
the markets. Theprincipal thing that is
wanted in order to bring about these ends
is some energy on the part OF the citizens.

Louisiana staples.

We call the attention of Patrons
everywhere to our staples-sugar'
molases, syrup and rice.
Our sugars have more saccharlne
matter. than any other-they are
pure, Northern sugars are more or
less adulterated, this is a we'll known
fact.
We caution you against the claims
made by other cities in the South
that they sell our staples as low as
we do. 1t is done by mixing the
lower grades of sugar and molasses
with the higher. 1t is done SO skill
fully that the majority are deceived
There can be no valid ercase for
Patrons IN all the States for moi
semding their orders to rs for Louis

To Our Patrons and Friends in
MiSsissfppi.

A large increase of business will
go to the Southwestern from your
State the coming season, both from
individual Patrons and Co-opera-
tive Associations. Some Associa-
tons are located so as.to become dis
tributing centres within radiuses OF
thirty and forty miles, This IS now
being done by the Lafayette Asso-
citation at Oxford. They are enabled
to do this by ordering by the car
loads, thus getting rebates in prices
and in freights. They order as many
as thirty wagons at time, and other
articles in the same proportion.
They have also arranged to handle
large amounts Of cotton. The same
can in time be done at Durant, Jack
son, Meridian, Columbus and other
points. Cooperation in this State
has hardly begun. If you persevere,
the results will astonish the most
sanguine.

Annual Statement.
OFFICE OF THE SOUTHWESTERN
COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION,

OFFICE OF THE SOUTHWESTERN
| COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION,
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. |, 1850.
In presenting the Annual State
ment of the Trade and Commerce
of New Orleans we have no pre-
dictions to make of the future of the
cotton market An experience of
MANY years in the cotton business
forbids it. Generally the safest plan
| is to meet the market all along
through the season.
The advance in iron, and the
heavy demand for goods, together
with the removal by the Chinese
Government of all trade restrictions
with that country, seem to indicate
good seasons business.
The opening of the rail road to
Texas, the immense increase of trade
from the West, together with our
unrivalled depth of water to the
sea, are all significant of great fu-
ture for this city.
Patrons of Husbandry were not
slow to forecast these events and to
meet the want of the great Brother
hood of many States. They planted
a branch of the Southwestern Co.
operative Association in this city
Our beginning was small, and we
have progressed slowly, but surely
feeling our way, until now we have
advanced to a solid position, ,and from
arrangements already made the busi-
ness the coming season will be larger
than the combined three seasons past
Our Association is not like an or
dinary business house, changing and
dissolving, but permanent institu-
tomas a bank is permanent, in
which investments are made for pos
terity and better paying investments
than can be made any where else.
The resignation, removal or death of
employees in no wise interferes with
the institution.
Patrons are compelled to build
combinations alongside other combi-
nations for their own protection. In
our Association they will have a
power indispensable for their pro
lection. We must have our own
banks, insurance companies, facto-
ries, etc, to employ the capital that
must accumulate in time.
The subject, however, is almost
inexhaustible, and with the compli-
ments of the new business season,
we are, fraternally,

Great snccess.
This wide e-awake Association has
made arrangements, through Bro. J.
NJ. Plant, to handle great deal OF
cotton the coming season. probably
5000 bales, which they propose ship
ping to the Southwestern Associa-
ton in New Orleans.
The Association may now be re-
garded as one of the central Associa-
tions. 1t buys by the carload, or
rather carloads, at a time-and is
arranging to deliver Associations in
adjoining counties their supplies at
as low prices as they can be had in
St. Louis. This they are enabled to
do by securing larger rebates on
heavy purchases, and on freights at
carload rates. Their sales will prob
ably reach by May Ist 100000.
We take pleasure in calling the
attention of our readers, to short
history of this Association IN another

To Our Patrons and Friends i'm
Arkansas

Now that increased facilities are
afforded to do business in our city,
we shall look for large increase the
coming year. Last year the mer-
chants on the Ouachita combined,
and boat from St. Louis was char
tered and corn and other articles
were delivered to the farmers, leav-
ing in the merchants hands hand
some margin. If you would COM
bine, you can do this yourselves
through us, or through Child & Car
yer, St. Louis, and thus save The
profits paid to merchants.
We hope our friends along the
rail roads will remember our Asso-
citation.
We remember with thanks our
brothers of Spring Bank, upper
Red River, who held their cotton
until almost spring, waiting for a
rise in the river to ship to us, also
their promise to make heavy ship
ments the coming season.

Future Deliveries.

Sales of cotton made on future de
liveries must be in grade from strict
ordinary and upwards. Hence the
wide difference in price between
ordinary cotton and the grades
above, another reason is, that in this
fast age, cotton mills do not want to
work low grades of cotton, the pro-
cess of cleaning requires too much
time. Let our patrons make a note
of this and prepare their cotton as
free from dust, dirt, and leaves as
possible.
The patron of husbandry., 1880-09-04
Many of our friends sell their cot

Many of our friends sell their cot
ton to the local merchants. They
still labor under the fallacious i'm
preston that they get more money
by this method. We do not hesitate
to say, they are enriching the mer-
chants who sell you their goods
along through the year at such pri-
ces as will not only cover their losses
on cotton but make large profits.
Where there are no Cooperative
store to handle your cotton, and to
supply your wants, send your cot
ton direct to us, and your order for
supplies, thus you are building up
your own institution-and saving
money.

Did the Car Run Over ANYBODY
Else?

In my county lived Thornton
Utes; he weighed over 400 pounds,
and no surplus fat; he was Jolly and
good natured. On certain Court
day, man named Billy - tried
to get up fight with Utz, but did
not succeed in wearing out his pa
tience until late in the day, but that
article ceasing any longer to be a
virtue, Thornton drew back his
hand a few inches, and with open
palm knocked Billy as dead as
Hector. The big man was greatly
alarmed; he sent for the Doctor.
(close by;) he cried and protested
that he did not intend to hurt Billy.
But after a few applications of
brandy, internally and externally
applied, Billy showed signs of life;
and he presently began rubbing his
eyes; and sitting up he looked all
around, carefully surveying his
bearings, exclaimed, did tie cars
run oa'er any body ekse./"
Now for the application; Our
hero, Utt, represents the Grange
car. We don't want to hurt any
body, but she is going through the
land, and if you cont want to get

There are many well meaning far
mers who have lost interest in the
Grange and think its power has
passed away because it makes less
noise than it did when the politi-
clans, lawyers and merchants
crowded in. But there is no good
reason for this loss of interest nor
for any lack of confidence in the
Grange as protective and reforma-
tory organization. The Order is far
more efficient now than it ever was.
The men now at its head are earnest
workers, thoroughgoing Patrons,
and who believe strongly iii the
principles in the Order. And of
equal Importance: the work to be
accomplished is more clearly defined
and more practical, and the ways
and means to give form and force to
measures better understood and
more at command. The farmers
knew they were shamefully robbed
and oppressed under the old busi-
ness system of the merchants, and
earnestly sought relief through the
Grange, but their efforts at first were
worse than failures. The agency
system and the Joint stock stores
proved utterly inadequate to the
ends so earnestly desired and expec-
ted, and their failure naturally threw
a damper upon the hopes and spirits
of the farmers at large. 1t was not
until the Rochdale system, as rec
commended by the National Grange,
began to be adopted and success
fully practiced, and which opened
the way of escape from the tyranny
and ruinous exactions of the mer-
chants system, that the more intel
ligent members felt that they were
getting on solid ground, and thai
the Grange could be made the prac
teal reformatory organization de
manded by the wants and interest:
of the farmers of the country.
Let the doubling farm ers, those
whose faith in the capacity of tht
Grange to take care of itself after
the politicians, lawyers and mer
chants left it, give close attention tc
the work going on and to the char
acter of the men noW at head OF the
Order, and they must be convinced
that the Grange is fixed institution
in this country, and that its powe
and influence in business, industria
and political affairs will steadily in
| crease. There is now no excuse bu
ignorance for any farmer to holt
| back from the Grange,
