The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1881-07-09

We continue to receive the most
cheering accounts of Worthy Mas
ter Darden's canvass. His appoint
ments are all we'll attended, and he
never fails to create deep interest
in the cause. He writes us that he
never felt so much encouraged be-
fore, that we are evidently on the
eve of great revival of the Order
in this State. He will be in Scott
and Newton counties next week.
We expect letters from Kinds, Mad
ison and Leake, describing his meet
ings in those counties this and last
week, in time for our next issue.

Hon. George B Loring, the new
Commissioner of Agriculture, was
born and has always resided III Es-
sex County, Mass. He graduated at
Harvard College, studied medicine
but practised his profession for
short time only, after which he de-
voted his time, energies and educa.
ton to the cultivation and improve
ment of his three hundred acre farm
neor Salem. For many years he has
been a leader in enterprises for the
advancement of agriculture, and at
the same time he has SO improved
his own farm and stock as to entitle
him to rank among the foremost
farmers in the country. He was
for twenty one years member of
the Massachusetts, Board of AgTi-
culture, served in both houses of
the Massachusetts, Legislature, and
two years in Congress. The quail
fication of DR. Loring for the office
of Commissioner of Agriculture is
not questioned by any one ac-
quainted with MIN anu MS career.
It is true he is an educated man, and
has been in Congress, both of which
fac.s may disqualify him for the Of

not educated and have not been in

1t is generally accepted by the
outside world that the character of
a community of farmers is judged
by the condition of their Grange.
If the Grange hall is an attractive
building, a cooperative store under
successful headway, the Grange
meetings well attended, it is at once
ccepted that that community are
intelligent, patriotic and prosperous.

A Windfall,

Yesterday the gentlemen of the Dominion
lire left for Montreal, winding up their winter
work in Portland. Captain Scalan, the port
captain, went with them to the post-otfice just

rected to him which, when opered, caused his
eyes to dilate 1t appears that the captain had
an aunt living in London, England, OF whose
existence he was aware, but his acquaintance
with her was very slight. The lady died last
month and left him legacy of $55,0O0, and
the first intimation the captain had of her
death or the legacy was this letter from his
aunt's lawyer announcing the fact, and also
that the will had been probated and the money
awaited his disposition

The Woman Suffrage Convention.

The woman suffrage convention to be opened
this evening at City Hall is gathering of
more than ordinary Importance. The question
of suffrage is one that will come up for dec;s.
ion in this state as in others. 1t is subject it
becomes all to be intelligent upon. The opin-
ion is not intelligent unless one makes himself
acquainted with what the demand is founded
upon and what opposes that demand. Intel
ligence depends upon comparison of ideas.
A comparison of ideas depends upon the pa
thence and cahdor with which we examine
ideas opposed to our own.
Those who enjoy good speaking will not be
disappointed in hearing the men and women
who come here to discuss this question. Lucy
