Grange, go, was organized August
IS, 1874. it has not failed yet, and
its members have no idea of letting
it die. There has never been law
suit in the courts between the men,
bers, and no trouble of Importance.
We have better society, we and our
children are better educated; and
our young men, by practice in the
Grange, have become good debaters.
Our members are in better condi.
ton, financially. than those out of
the Grange. We have Co-opera-
tive Association organized, and ex-
pect 20 do our business through the
Texas and the Southwestern Coop
eratiVe Associations in future.
We have splendid county. Fer
tile land, freestone water, healthy
locality on either side of a large
creek-=Lockigee creek--near the
Louisiana line; land is cheap; timber
good, generally pine, oak, hickory,
beech, gum, maple, magnolia, etc.
We have splendid vegetable and
fruit country; good range for cows
and cattle; hogs do well on the
range without any feed, the mast be-
ing plentiful, we can kill fresh pork
from the range almost any time.
Our market is the best in the coun-
try except the seaports.
Persons in other States desiring to
move West this year would no we'll
to look to the advantages of this i'm
mediate section. We have nearly
all religious denominations, and the
country is rapidly improving. We
want more good, energetic people
to help us develop the great resour-
ces of this county. Persons at a
distance desiring further informa-
ton can obtain it by corresponding
with the Secretary, who is ordered
by the Grange to solicit immigration
to this neighborhood

PIC MIC AT BOWLING GREi

PIC MIC AT BOWLING GREEN.
Editor Patron. Boiling Green
Grange appointed the fourth Satur-
day in July as gala day, and invi-
ted her neighbors to join in a grand
pic mic. Bros. Darden and Carver
were both invited to address the
people on the occasion, but the pre-
arranged program of Bro. Darden
prevented his coming-he will be
here on the 10th inst.
Bro. T. J. Carver, General Mana
ger of the Southwestern Co-opera-
ton, however, put in an appearance,
and right well did he acquit himself,
both in an address to the Co-opera-
tive Association and grand speech
at the stand, where vast multitude
listened and were charmed.
Bro. w. H. M. Durham, Overseer
of the State Grange, followed in his
own peculiarly forcible style, max.
ing happy hits, and winding up, as
all Grange speeches should, in ia
vor of education.
The best speech of the day was
now made in the announcement Of
the dinner, and its style. Of the
dinner, we may say 6ountitul, kus
cions, elegant, oyderlyi 1t had beer
feared that pic mic" of such mag
nitude would be disproportioned
and unsatisfactory, but it is enough
to say that the reputation of Boiling
Grange was fully sustained.
After dinner, "our own" talented
and popular Baxter Wilson deliver.
ed an eloquent Grange speech, fol
lowed by the Rev. P. @. Corr, who
in more extended address, plead
the cause of the Patron" and uni.
versal education. A member OF
Bowling Green Grange was then
called for, who responded in "short
speech" that stirred up noise and
hand shaking that closed up "the
day" in the most satisfactory man
ner, and sent away that vast multi
tude favorably impressed by the
Grange. Fraternally,

A writer in the journal of AsSrI'
culture thus aptly portrays the VIZ
tues of the Grange: "The nine
teenth century found man in an ao'
normal social condition. After the
lapse of more than five Thousand
years of social anarchy, in which the
greaters enemy of man was man,
Brother warred against brother
Seeking to devour each other
Ard thus the ambitious and avari'
cious preyed upon frugal industry
When endurance was almost at az
end an inspiration came, and, like .
vast tidal wave, swept over inc
New World and organized the true
social element in the Grange, excluo'
ing the former erroneous dogma,
that have ever produced division anu
strife, those discordant elements ina
have so long broken up and rulneu
society. This Order brings togstne'
those who have felt some of that's 50,
cial nature so essential to mater'Nft
human happiness-'the acme !"
earthly mbition'-that, by the IA
tural stimulus, the social nature o
man may be nurtured and develop
ed to that condition of perfection -
necessary to the ultimate gooo y
man."

Political schemes are arranged and ma

them. They generally are of but little

FROM MISSISSIPPI.
Warren County.

Editor Patron. But for the in
clement weather of this and the two
previous days, the coming of Wor-
thy Master Darden would have
drawn the largest assemblage that
ever greeted him at the hall of Gin
cinnatus Grange. Notwithstanding
the rain and mud, the hall was well
filled, and he was listened to by an
attentive and appreciative audience.
His clear exposition of the princi-
piles of the Order, and of our pur
poses and plans; the long list of the
farmers grievances which he pre-
scented and proved, and his stirring
appeal to the farmers to arouse
themselves, had the effect not only
to infuse new spirit into them, but
to disarm in some measure some Of
our most implacable foes.
The farmers and the farmers
wives hereabouts have come tc
know Worthy Master Darden as q
friend-as the ablest defender O.
their rights-as the foremost Gran
ger in the State. His name is
household word among them, ano
as he passes on through the Stat
he leaves behind him happier anc
a more hopeful people. tits hope,
that he will be continued in his pc
sition; but when the time comes, i
a change should be made, sad da,
will it be for the cause if his mantl,
does not descend, like that of Eli
jah, upon shoulders worthy to wea
it.

poses to do There was fixed and
determined course defined to pur-
sue. The members say they are 60

money on hand and fine crops grow

Worthy Master Darden is now
actively engaged in the canvass of
this State. He addressed meet
ings this and last week in Clai-

counties, and goes next to Carroll,
Tallahatchie and YaIobusha.
We hope to receive, in time for
our next issue, full accounts of his
work in these counties. In the
great work in which he IS engaged,
this patriot farmer should have the
earnest support and cooperation O
all the farmers-they should turr
out at his appointments by thous
ands, and thus give force and effec
to his noble efforts in their behalf

an influence to keep men in the
path of reetitude, what man is there

belong to the Grange. which was

/ have one wish-one strong de-
sire. one earnest longing, and that
is, to see the wife and daughters of
every farmer in the good old State;
coming into the Grange. Then in
deed would there be most glorious
prospect ahead for the agriculturists
then the young men would flock
to the Grange Halls and join in the
noble effort to elevate the standard
of the manhood of the farmers of
the country-then there would be
no talk about luke-warmness among
the members, and such a thing as a
dormant Grange would never be
heard of, and the whole agricultural
horizon would brighten and shine
as if ten thousand electric lights"
had been started blazing.
Just think, gentle reader, of whole
neighborhood coming together.
Husbands and fathers, mothers and
wives, brothers and sisters, bellies
and beaux, sweethearts and lovers,
al! meeting once a month in social
intercourse, to say nothing in regard
to the work in our glorious cause.
In the Grange we can open our
hearts to one another and spend a
few hours in recreation from the
fled, the house and kitchen. If the
ladies would only use their influence
in our grand cause, the Order would
prosper, and we would most surely
attain the objects we have in view.
When | enter a Grange hall, |
always look around to see if there
are any of the sisters present, for
the smile of one sister makes me feel
happier than the congratulations of
all of the brethren. 1t may be said
that | am partial to the ladies. So
[ am; for, if | am anything, if have
any influence for good, l owe 1t all
to woman. All that | am, and all
l expect to be, | owe to kind and
loving mother, and an affectionate,
devoted wife. Then let the women
of Virginia and the whole country,
the farmers wives and daughters
give their influence and lend their
power to this great agricultural
cause, and generations'yet unknown
will rise up and call them blessed;
and such a revival of the interest of
the Order, as has never been dream
ed of, will spread over the whole
land. My countrywomen: the des-
tiny of this country and of this whole
nation, as we'll as the Order of Pa
irons of Husbandry, rests with you.
Will you, can yon, sit idly by and
see it all go to destruction? / can
not, l will not believe it. When
you rise up in the morning let your
earnest prayers ascend on high in
behalf of a country which is fast be-
ing carried by political hate and pol
itical trickery in the vortex of des-
truction-let your prayers ascend as
holy incense in behalf of the farmers
cause, and then we shall be blest
with bountiful harvest, and when
called to lay down our implements
on the earth, we shall enter that
great Grange above, and receive
the welcome plaudit, well done
good and faithful servants-.SamueL

Dinner being over, the multitude
repaired to the seats at the stand,
where, after calling up several gen.

selves, the Rev. Mr.. Stanley of Bow

gathering was turned to the behoof
of the Grange.
