POPE COUNTY.


Ed4tor Patron. Your most excellan+
Journal continues to reach me nrettv reer
ulary and seems to me to grow better and
better with each new number. No , IF
WI: otn contains more good reading,
song sense useful information, good ad-
vice and valuable extracts from other ma :
Pers than all the so-called organs, great
ahoSmail, IN the interests of the old polit-
.Iai parties contain ina whole year For
the hrst time | was unable to attend the
hleeting OF our State Grange, but SO long
aS am able to ride or walk hope not to
be absent again
w e still have some good and able
workers In the State and thousands of
'Wen-wishers," but they are marshalled
under general who is not a good Gran
ger-l mean General Apathy, who is an
ola iogy who ought to be court martaled
and drummed out of camp.
This county (Pope) has three Oranges
IN hne condition and three more which
can and must be revived. 'sAbsenteeism''
mas been the ruin of several Oranges as il
mas been the ruin of Ireland Two Oranges
IN this county were composed almost en-
llrely OF renters who removed and the or
carnations were lost.
Corn planting time will soon be here
and wish to know whether any of your
readers have a kind of corn which Yields
well without growing SO high, as nearly
all our Southern varieties do. In this
country where great deal of the land is
fresh and rich the corn grows to such an
unreasonable height that large portion
is Frustrated by storms every year. The
loss from this cause is immense and il
does seem that a kind not always striving
to reach the moon with its tassels would
be better for us. Allow me to suggest
the kind Of corn | would make if | had
the making. 1t should be with large
stalk and cob, long soft grains, color
white, and it should not grow taller than
say s, 10 or II feet at the very highest
whilst our corn runs up Il to II feet.
would have large stout stalks and
large cobs because they hold a large
amount of sap with which to finish of
and mature the grains in time of drouth
and the more ''stocky' the corn the less
liability to be blown down. 1t should be
soft to enable animals to crush it easily,
and white because it is considered better
for bread. | know some will laugh al
the idea of corn growing too high, but
millions have been lost because it grew SC
out of proportion that it had no power to
resist the high winds. --f
| ! \ our articles, original and selected, on
| political subjects, are, in my opinion, the
| best of all. If the Democratic party goes
back on the people, the people must not
| go back on themselves, but vote for nc
man who is not out and out in favor OIL

CoRYELLE COUNTY.

Editor Patron 1t has been our mis-
fortune to be almost dormant. | believe
from reading your most excellent paper
that the Grange is booming in other parts
of Texas, and am prompted to give you
a few hints as to the Order in this south
east corner of Coryelle county.
In 1874 we organized Oak Grove
Grange, No. PA, most noarishing
Grange But there having come in some
unawares who seemed to be prospecting,
having selfish motives only, they became
convinced that it was not the place for
them, and so dropped out. Our Grange
is gaining ground slowly but surely we
have a co operative store near us at MOI
fattown that is doing a good business on
the Rochdale, plan, in spite of opposition.
There are many that oppose us that seem
to be astonshed at the success OF coop
Grafton. Cooperation on the Rochdale
plan will overthrow the rule OF oppres-
sion in this and other States. | believe

ment. both national and State. HE "A

of the political parties Of the day, and IS

ments, our lands, our fences and gates,
our yards and our houses. Let us SO edu-
cate each other by interchange of ideas in

our farms self-supporting; in fact, let each
of us strive to assist the other in making
home what it should be to every one
THE DEAREST PLACE ON EARTH.
To accomplish this, we must be able to
see and realize the beauty, the sublimity
of the principles that underle the great
structure upon which we build. Few,
very few of us realize these evidence of
which is furnished by the non-attendance
of many members, who, if they could see
these things as we do, would never miss a
meeting. That those outside our gates do
not understand and appreciate our pur-
poses, is evidenced by the opposition that
meets us on all sides, and again by the fact
that hundreds ofenergetic, intelligent men
and women who are eligible to member
shin are yet on the outside. Brothers and
sisters, do you think these would stay long
on the outside, or that those who are mem

He transported us with enthusiasm in
the Mendelssohn concerts and in Paga-
minis Cappriccios. Alfred Quidant, the
celebrated pianist, exclaimed, 81 have
heard Paganini, and think | hear him
again" In truth many persons execute
the Capriccios of the Genoese virtuoso,
but Remenyi alone has translated and
understood them. No living artist has
carried farther than he the science of the
violin; he draws from his instrument
sounds which the human ear never heard.
His mastery bow caresses or illtreats the
strings, weeps, laughs, signs, grows
angry, and scolds. But what distinguishes
Remenyi is his wit he is witty as Rivarol
as Chamfort, as Voltaire. 1t is imposs-
ible to endow composition with more
grace and coquetry than he has infused
into Chopin's mazurkas; one can fancy a

The Relief of ireland

A meeting of citizens, to take action
for the relief of the distress now existing
in Ireland, was held at Music Hall on
Friday evening, February 9th. The
meeting was organized by electingEdward
Johnson, President and William F.Voss,
Secretary On motion of E. Sweeny a
committee of three, consisting of Messrs.
VIM L. Norris, Fred Kusel and P. Ro-
gan, was appointed to draft resolutions.
Mr.. Sweeney offered the following resolu-
ton which was adopted
Resolued, That the following named
gentlemen be appointed "Relief Com
mittee'' to collect and distribute the funds
in proper manner:
City-Edward Johnson and John Malloy.
Town of WatertoWn-Thos. Shinnick.
Ixonia-John Rutledge.
Shields-James @. Smith.
/" Emmett-D. OConnell.
Clyman-Daniel Collins.
The Hon. d. Hall was then called up
on for a speech in which he set forth in a
very able and torcible manner the distress
now prevailing in Ireland and the causes
which led thereto.
The committee on resolutions being
now ready to report, offered the following
which were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, The people Of Ireland are
suffering the awful calamity of famine, a
condition that is well calculated to fill
the hearts of every free and enlightened
citizen with grief and sympathy, there
fore
Resolved, That we, the citizens of
Watertown, without regard to creed or
nationality tender to the people of that
unfortunate land our sympathy and all
the material aid in our power in their
present terrible crisis
Resolved, That we believe the present
system of land tenure in Ireland to be
radically wrong, impolitic, cruel and op-
pressive and that its continuance will re-
suit in periodical famines, and in the
end prove destructive to the material
prosperity of the country.
Resozved, That we pledge to the peo-
pie of Ireland our moral support until
the last vestige of landlordism, in its pre-
sent grinding and hideous form is abolish
ed.
On motion, meeting adjourned.
