The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1881-11-05
THE GRANGE PRESS.

| Inc general circulation OF sound Gran ge
literature is one of the most important
things that should demand our attention.
We can do a great work in this wav. There
are many papers that are worthy of our
support, among them | would most ear
nes.ly recommend THE PATRON OF
HUSBANDRY," published at Columbus,
Mississippi, by Bro. w H. Worthington.
THE PATRON is the Official Journal of the
State Oranges of Alabama, Florida, Geor-
gia and Mississippi, and / would urge our
State Grange to cooperate with them and
adopt THE PATRON as our Official Jour
nal, and give it that support which it so
Justly merits. BY conct tntrating our sup
port on THE PATRON, we can increase its
usefulness and thereby benefit ourselves
and the membership at large.
CONCLUSION.
| Your Master did not expect to deliver
an address, and consequently there are
many things that could be suggested that
in the short space of time allowed to pre-
pare it could not be done. And now in
conclusion let me say that as you have
seen proper to i'm pose the duties of Master
| upon me by unanimous vote, | promise
| you'that | shall strive to do my whole duty,
! and with your cooperation make the
| Grange power in the land. Let me urge
| YOU to ever be at your posts of duty and
| push on in the great and important work
before US.
