the faithful ones held on, and at last
a ray of light fell upon US: we organized
a cooperative store on the Rochdale plan

LETTER FROM WORTHY OVERSEER A. ].
ROSE, OF THE STATE GRANGE.
Editor Patron. left Galveston on the
morning of Jan. 18th, and arrived at Led
better at P. NJ, where | found Bro. Din
widdie waiting to take me out eight miles
to Salem Grange, which had been DOR
mant for long time. On reaching there,
we found that the people had begun to
assemble. The object of this gathering
was to re- organize this dormant Grange,
which had been pronounced dead. We
began the work about shutdown, and were
assisted by Brother and Sister league,
who had come ten miles to assist US. The
success of the meeting was complete-the
Grange was reorganized with g earnest,
active members. The spirit of the meet
ing was admirable; all seemed to feel that
it was good to be there.
Next morning, in company with Bro.
Black, we started to Lexington, IS miles
distant. On our way we met brother
who informed us that a number of Pa
irons had assembled the night before to
consider the propriety of recognizing, as
they had heard that the Grange car was
moving and they did not want to be left
behind. They are in earnest, and will do
good work. On arriving at Lexington,
we found but few assembled, owing to
death in the neighborhood, and the reor-
ganization of the Grange was postponed
| was met at Lexington by Brother and
Sister Shive, two good, working mem
bers, who took me to their home in the
neighborhood of Tanglewood Grange,
where a meeting had been arranged for
that night. On arriving there, we found
the assembly too large for the house.
This Grange twelve months ago was
sleeping, but the members have woke up
and gone to work in earnest: they have
started cooperative store, with the usual
result: applications for membership COM
ing in at every meeting. This is live,
moving people.
Brother and Sister Shive accompanied
me to Milan Grange. Arriving at a late
hour, the meeting was postponed till
night Here we met Brother and Sister
Ferguson in mourning, having lost their
eldest daughter since their return from the
State Grange. There are as good and
true Patrons in Milan county as you will
find any where, and the Order has met
with as much opposition there as else
where, but there is a bright future in store
for them. 6Eaf -
reached home on the evening of the
I'd inst, after an absence of FL days. p

edge of the truth. Fraternally,

WHAT DOES IT PROFIT US?

We copy the following short extract
from an address of Worthy Master Ad-
ans of the Minnesota State Grsnge: &
"What does it profit us to have our
wheat, our butter and cheese, our wool
and fat cattle bring higher prices, if the
cost of transportation increases at the
same rate? If the freight charges, aug
mented from time to time eat up all the
profits, where comes any advantage either
to the producer or the consumer? These
things must be regulated by law. And
we must apply ourselves to the task in.
self preservation. No matter whether it
takes one, three or FIVE years, if we COM
bine together all over the land and work
vigorously, the reward will be ouis. The
same condition of affairs exists every.
where, and from necessity the same spirit
of determined resistance will arise every.
where. The day is at hand, and there will
be no abatement of national agitation and
of united effort. There need be no appre-
hension of unsatisfactory results, The
question for us to solve is this: Are we
willing to continue the payment of taxes,
The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1880-02-14

The people of this country, the toiling
millions of both town and country, have
been imposed upon IN no way more than
in the matter of school books. Since the
war, rings and political adventures have
gotten control of the schools in the South
| by which they have made vast fortunes.
They have colluded with merchants and
others and compelled the people to pur-
chase certain kinds Of books for their
children at enormous prices. The farmers
are beginning to find remedy for this,
by securing their books through their Co
operative Association In Texas this move
ment has already taken shape The State
Grange recommended the farmers of that
State in organizing schools to adopt the
well known books of D. Appleton & Co.,
of New York, and suggested to the Tex
as State Association at Galveston to Sc
cure full stocks and SUPPLY them to farm
ers, Oranges and county and local Co.
operative Associations on the Co-opera-
tive plan. We learn from the Agent at
Galveston, Brother J. S. Rogers, that he
is making satisfactory arrangements with
Messrs. Appleton & Co., and will be pre-
pared very soon to fill orders in his State.
This movement viii save the farmers of
that State immense sums, and place with
in their reach the best school books IN the
world.
We presume that other State Oranges
will adopt this plan, and we hope in few
months all the Cooperative Associations
and Agencies will be prepared to supply
the Oranges and farmers of their respect
i've States with these excellent books on
the cooperative plan. s1a
We shall give considerable attention to
the school question, fo1 we know that this
is the best work-the education of farmers
children-that the Grange can engage in.

ARTICLE 1. OF THE CONSTITUTION
OF THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI.


SECTION 27. No persons life shall be periled
by the practice OF dueling; and any person who
shall hereafter fight duel, assist in the same
as second or send, accept, or knowingly carry a
challenge therefor, or go out of the State to fight
duel shall be disqualified from holding any Office
under this constitution, and shall forever be dis
franchised in this State.
In the face of this plain provision of the const-
tuition, the present State Senate OF Mississippi ad
mitted to seat on its floor a Senator (who is a
lawyer by profession) who but recently went ''out
of the State to fight duel"
The Senate is composed mainly of lawyer pol
iticians. Lawyer politicians make our laws, they
construe them, and they enforce or ignore them
may suit their pleasure. If the people continue
to intrust the law-naking power to class that
sets constitutional provisions at defiance, they
ought not to complain if their rights and liberties
are trampled upon and their interests contemptu-
Ously ignored. $50 ~
