FROM ALABAMA
eEarunrs Ennufv

Editor Patron. Danville Grange,
.36o, held its regular meeting last
Saturday We are still climbing
up-conferred the first degree on
two brothers and the fourth on two
sisters, and had seven applications
for membership. We have now
about ONE HUNDRED members; we
have about twenty young ladies the
most beautiful and intellectual of
our community in our Grange, and
having the girls. of course the boys
are continually hocking to us.
Last Saturday was one of the most
enjoyable days we have ever expe-
rienced. Our new organ had just
come, our young men brought in
their violins, and all joined in sing
ing, and, Bro. Worthington. if you
love good music it would have done
you good to have been with us. We
also had three very interesting and
profitable essays read by Sisters
Cooper and Simmons and Worthy
Lecturer Speaks on "What can we
do to make our Grange success"
they having been appointed to write
on that subject at a previous meeting.
After the essays, a very lively dis
cussion came up and was engaged
in by many brethren. | think the
essays and the discussion will result
in much good.
The good cause.-The elevation of
the farmer-as advocated by our
noble Order, is constantly gaining
ground in our county. l was at our
county site yesterd V attending
court, and was earnes solicited by
two gentlemen from fferent parts
of the county who are not members
of the Grange to visit their neigh
borhoods and talk to their people
about the Order. | feel sure that
there is brighter dav dawning on
us as farmers, and | am proud to
bear an humble part in helping on
the good cause, and know of no bet
ter way than to urge the farmers to
subscribe for and read THE PATRON
the most able and fearless defen-
der of the rights of any paper |
ever reae kWith my best wishes
for the su .ess of THE PATRON and
the cause which it so molly defends,
1 am, your friend and brother,

Editor Patron. The Oranges in
this county are in fine condition and
working we'll and effectively. Ap-
plications are rolling in every month.
The fundamental principles of the
Grange are discussed with "good
hard sense" and members now seem
to begin to appreciate the elevated
position they occupy.
Our cooperative movement here
is all we can ask. We have done
a satisfactory and paying business
since our commencement, and our
trade is increasing and spreading
out. The only temporal salvation
for the farmers of Mississippi is to
have confidence in each other and
work together; united we stand
and prosper, divided we fall and
die down to the roots. have
lately discovered that we live in the
great cotton belt of the world.
When | was appointed, eight
years ago, Grange Lecturer, from
experience and observation of many
years as farmer, sustained by the
judgment of sound practical men,
| invariably prefaced my arguments
by saying that the only safe, sure,
and practical plan for farmers was
to make every product necessary
for home consumption, and cotton
the surplus CROP theoretically
farmers agreed with me and even
applauded; practically they knock
ed my suggestions ''sky high" and
condemned them. At our last
Grange meeting, after ascertaining
we had made in 1880, six millions
and a quarter of bales of cotton, [
frankly confessed | had been in
error, and was willing to make the
s'amende honorable" So | COM
menced my remarks by saying that
| would challenge the history of
this country to show parallel case
where any other class or profession
had used more energy, submitted TO
more mishaps, enjoyed less Of the

socialities of life, went to bed later,
got up sooner, made less corn or
meat, raised fewer colts, gave more
mortgages and deeds of trusts, had
less money, and lived harder than
the planters of Mississippi, and all
for what? To bring the price OF
cotton down from 80 to OF cents.
An inglorious and unremunerative
success is our reward. 1t is SAID,
"whom the gods intend to destroy
thew first make mad" Our farmers
are mad now, and the remedy for
the disease, | propose, if we wish
to raise corn, hogs, colts, and grain,
why emigrate to Illinois, Ohio, or
Minnesota; if sugar and rice, seek the
latitude for this long sweetening
and Carolina vegetable; if cotton,
that's our fort,-we are properly
latituded.
Then let us abandon the name of
farmer and take our true name,
PLANTER, and use all our efforts, and
all the fertilizers we can buy, and
raise an overwhelming crop-say
about 5000, 900 bales-reduce the
price to about 6 cents for good
middling and p cents for in
ferior and stained, and | am sure
there will be no controversy, but
we will be very much like the boy
in Jackson county, (whose mamma
had invited the parson to dine with
her and family after service), who
was digging and looking for
gopher, which digging happened
to be on the route the preacher
travelled and seeing the boy hard
at work os the Holly Sabbath he
demonstrated and spoke of the
moral wrong and open violation of
this day of rest, to which the boy
listened with polite sharpness, in
dicstive of ''hower born to blush
unseen" whose looks showed more
determination than sorrow, and
when asked by the "Gospeller,"
what he was after? Quickly replied,
a gopher. Well, do you think
you will get him. Git him! bound
to git him, mammals axed the par
son to our house for dinner, and
we are out of meat. Raise eight or
nine million bales of cotton and you
will be bound to quit. All other
arguments are exhausted and moth
ing but an overwhelming crop and
a low price will bring about any
salutary result, and as the boy was
bound to get the gopher to have
meat, SO will Mississippi bI'ntcrS
be necessarily forced from an over
abundant production of cotton TO
raise the necessaries of life at home
on the farm or "vamoose the cotton
rancho"

FROM 4 SESssPPE.
Adams County.

Editor Patron: Worthy Master
Darden opened his canvass of the
State at Kingston in this county on
the r2th inst. From this place he
went to Buffalo Grange in Wilkin-
son county, and made an address to
a large audience on the 18th in their
new hall. This Grange is in good
working order; the members, by
their untiring energy, have built a
neat hall, where they have been
holding their meetings for the last
three months. Bro. Darden felt en-
couraged from the fact that the mem
bers gave him a hearty welcome, as
well as the outsiders who came to
hear him defend the farmers cause.
After his address, DR.. H. K. w.
Ford, Past Master of the Grange,
was called to the rostrum, and dealt
ponderous blows, and exhorted the
members to go on and be of good
cheer and faithfully work together,
that the ship is still ahoat.
Bro. Darden's speech had a good
effect. | heard several who are not
members say that now they intended
to Join the Order, If the leaders in
every county will only take timely
action and sustain Bro. Darden with
that earnest zeal that should animate
every true member of the Order,
this canvass can be made by far the
most effective that has yet been
made in the South. We should be
proud to know that we have such a
leader, who is not only able to rep
resent our cause, but willing to I'M
dergo the hardships and privations
attending a canvass OF the entire
State Farmers! let us rally around
this noble son of Mississippi and
gifted leader of our cause, and by
word and deed bid him God, speed
in his great and patriotic work.
Fraternally, D. S. FARRAR,
Secretary of Grange .337.

as he is to the farmers. There are
other business men in this town
who see the Grange in different
light, encourage it, and are entitled
to consideration by every Patron.
Notwithstanding these draw
backs we are still in the field, speak
ing twice day, and shall continue
to do so as long as we can, whether
or not it pleases these selfish men,
the friends of the monopolists, or
the naughty merchant who makes
his profits from the farmers, and yet
is opposed to farmers holding a
Grange meeting in his town.
