The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1881-12-24

The Worthy Secretary of the
Mississippi State Grange is prepar-
ing the minutes of the recent ses-
sion for publication, part of which
has already reached US and the re-
mainder will probably be received
early next week. This promPtness
on the part of the Secretaryis is most
commendable. The proceedings
ought to be published at the earliest
moment and would be published
next week but for the action of the
Executive Committee in the matter,
as it is, there will be delay of two
9th -ee weeks, for which neither
the Secretary nor we can be held
responsible

Some of the political papers in
this State are clamoring for the re-
peal by the next Legislature of the
law regulating legal advertising.
They claim that the members of
the Legislature owe their election
to the newspapers, and that the
latter must be rewarded by larger
share of the estates of dead men.
The present law is just one, and
ought not to be changed. The
newspaper that cannot live without
drawing its chief advertising sup
port from the estates of dead men
and the public generally by the
operation of arbitrary laws ought
to go down. The editors and pub
fishers ought to unite in demanding
the abolition of the office of public
printer, and stop taking advertise
ments from the advertising agents
of the cities at merely nominal rates.

The Grange has again attained a

The Grange has again attained a
commanding position-one that
commands alike the confidence of
its friends and the respect of its en-
mics. The errors of the past have
been corrected; its present leaders
are faithful and efficient, and thor
oughly identified with IFS princi-
pies and purposes; there is now no
| danger from within, for false friends
have been discovered and driven
from positions of influence, and the
plans of our enemies to undermine
and destroy the Grange edifice are
fully understood and will be de-
feated at every point. The powers
arrayed against the Grange may be
strong, but the Grange is now
stronger than all hostile combina
tons that may assail it. Our Ma
tional and State bodies have met
and performed their duties wisely
and well; our leaders are pushing
the work everywhere with renewed
vigor; and the Grange press, more
highly appreciated by the Order, is
more Jealous and efficient than ever.
And now it only remains for the
Subordinate Oranges to do their
full duty to rally the farmer masses
to our standard and marshal them
in overwhelming numbers for the
great conflict between the forces of
Justice and Equality and of Wrong
and Oppression. With all these
cheering facts and indications, the
earnest Grange worker may proudly
boast:
"Our cause is 40 sappling chance-sown
by the fountain,
Blooming in spring, in autumn to fade;
When the whirlwind shall strip every leaf
from the mountain.
The more shall the FARMERS exult in
its shade ...
Moored in the rifted rock
Proof to the tempest's shock,
Firmer it's rooted the ruder it

generally for campaign next year
by Worthy Master Darden that
will surpass all former efforts. All
hearts were warmed, all hopes
strengthened by the fraternal greet

imposing ceremonies, that marked
this grand meeting of our State

Holmes county was ably repre-
sented at the State Grange. The
eloquent address of welcome by
Hon. @. Hamilton, made all the
delegates feel that they were indeed
among friends and that their stay
would be pleasant. The eloquent
orator did himself and his county
credit by his admirable address.
t. ! The WorthyLecturer, Bro. Baxter
Wilson, who had so favorably i'm
| pressed the members at former
meetings bv his ability and zeal,
was at his post, and contributed no
little TO the pleasure and success of
the meeting. He is destined to hold
aIhigh position among our leaders,
and his earnest, unselfish devotion
to the cause, will always make him
! general favorite. Egs1rax at-
Bro. Henry Christmas is one of
the most efficient Grange leaders
in the State. He speaks with great
force and effect, and, like Worthy
Lecturer Wilson, always commands
the attention of the delegates. Two
years ago, Bro. Christmas was
elected to the Legislature, and made
an able and faithful Representative.
Though defeated for the nomina-
ton this year, improperly as we
think, he INDUCED in no bitterness,
but at all times he responds to the
calls of the people to represent their
interests, Such a man is too use
ful to be permitted to remain in a
| private position, and we are greatly
mistaken if the people do not de-
rnand his services in more impor-
tant fields.
Worthy Masters E. P. Stanley
and ] M. McCaleb are also noble
Patrons, thoroughly imbued with
Grange principles and have made
faithful and efficient officers. They
never lost faith in the good cause,
and their Oranges have never lost
faith in them. They fully appre-
ciate the great power of the Grange
as a reformatory organization, and
they rightly think that it should give
the weight of its influence in be-
half of temperance and to the utter
overthrow of alcoholism. We wish
these true and fearless leaders God
speed in their earnest and consist
ent support of Grange principles.
Bros. Montgomery and F. A.
Howell are earnest and efficient
workers in the good cause; they
are giving their attention especially
to the CO operative store at Durant,
an enterprise that is meeting with
fair success.
We were also gratified to meet
Bro, ]. T. McGee, of Richland, one
of the oldest and most respected of
our leaders in Holmes; indeed the
country is full of strong Patro as,
men and women, who believe in
the truth and necessity of Grange
principles, and who work zealously
for their success. au
tt is the support of such con-
stituency that gives strength to
leaders ike Bros. Hamilton, Wilson,
Christmas, McCaleb, Stanley and
Others, and will make the Grange
ruling power in that entire section.

T11E ELECTREOT LIGHT.
Prop Organization Of a COmPa-
ny TO introduce ~ In ChIIIicOIhe,
Portsmouth and Washington.

Proposed Organization Of a COmPa-
ny TO introduce 10 In ChIIlicOLhe, e.,
Portsmouth and Washington.
A stock company, with capital Of
5000, 900 has been organized in Cincin-
natl, for the purpose of introducing
the new electric light into general use
in that city, Covington and Newport,
and the organization of similar cOmpa-
MES in the smaller cities and towns; !;
promises to follow. Already, according
TO the Cnillicothe Register, movement
has been started looking to the intro
duction of the new light in that city,
Portsmouth and Washington G. H.
The Register Of last Saturday has a
column article on the subject, from
which we clip the following paragraph
During a visit to Cincinnati, this
week, Mr.. Charles Beery, manager Of
the NJ. & G. r. r. telegraph lines, took
occasion to enter into an investigation
of the new light. AS an accomplished
electrician he could thoroughly COM
prehend its claims and the probability
Of their fultillment, and his investiga-
tions transformed him, as it had the
capitalists of the Queen City, into an
enthusiast upon the subject. In brief
then resulted in Mr.. Beery, in connec-
ton with Mr.. John E. Rose, Master of
Trains on the NJ. & G. r. R., securing
from Messrs. Post & Co., the exclusive
right to organize a stock company
which should control the advantages of
the patent in Chillicothe, Portsmouth
and in Washington G. H. We under
stand the terms demanded by MessTs.
Post & Co., are contribution of 40 per
cent. of the stock to them and the or
ganization of no stock companies are
permitted with a capital stock Of less
than 100000. Messrs. Post & Co., pre-
nit stock company with capital
stock of that amount named to utilize
the patent in two of the above named
cities, or if the company should start
with a capital stock of $3.50, 900 it could
have the control of all three. 1t was
for that reason that the limit of con-
troll was made to embrace the three
cities named.
Messrs. Beery g. Rose have succeeded
in interesting some of Chillicothe's
capitalists lin the formation Of COM
pany.

Elsewhere is published a call for
a meeting to be held at the Court House
this evening, to consider the prOpriety
of organizing manufacturing enter
prise in our town. The call is signed
by a number of our prominent citizens,
This is a move in the rightpdirection,
and the meeting should be attended by
all who feel an interest in the prOsperi-
ty of our town.
There is no public enterprise to
which our citizens can direct their at
tentlon at the present time which prom
ises as q good results for the future Of
our place as that proposed for cOnsid-
Grafton at the meeting tonight.
There is no reason why the advan-
tages Washington now possesses as a
point for manufacturing should not be
utilized, and it is to be hoped that a
movement will be set on foot which will
result in the organization of an enter
prise upon a practicable plan for the
building up Of a manufacturing busi-
ness here,
