= One of the surgeons who attended
the late President is quoted us saying
that neither he nor his associates ever
thought of sending bill to Mrs. Gar
field for services rendered. "If Congress
appropriates money to pay u.s." said he,
I'VE shall be glad, but we shall never ask
Mrs. Garfield for a dollar" This is
sound sense, and the people will sustain
Congress in paying the physicians gem
erously.
Judge L. st. Julien Cox, of the
Minnesota Supreme Court, is to be i'm
peached for drunkenness, making broad
farce of justice by going on specs with
criminals who are to be be tried before
him. One of CoX's most fragrant acts
was to force the acquittal of a handsome
and unquestionably guilty woman, and
afterwards to take board in her house.
a man turned :up in Troy who
claims to be the father of forty-fo chill
dren, and to have had eight wives. His
name is John Pasco, and he AYERS that

ion that the entire crop will be
opened by the 10th or 18th. of next
month.
Gardens, are poor at present; the
summer crop of vegetables has been
used off and so far the people have
been unable to do anything towards
fall gardening on account Of the
dry weather.
We would therefore recommend
our farmers, in view of the failure
of the different crops, to practice
the strictest economy. Those hav
ing beeves would in our opinion act
wisely to slaughter them before they
begin to fall off in flesh, and pickle
or dry them, for bacon and pork
viii be scarce and command a high
price next year.
We would also recommend the
planting of oats and rye as soon as
possible to help out the deficiency
of corn. And also as soon next
spring as possible to thoroughly
prepare and plant our gardens, and
also plant extensive Irish potatoe
patches.
We would also recommend the
planting of the Whipoorwill pea as
extensively ard as early as possi-
bic, it being an excellent auxiliary
as forage crop.
We would further recommend
the planting Of the sorgum cane ex
tensively for two reasons: first, We
think the stalk alone would pay as
a syrup crop; and, second, we have
the top which comes on at time
when there is nothing for our hogs
and would assist them through tht
| hardest of the summer.
Work stock is in good condition
and quite an interest is being mani
tested in the raising OF stock.

Editor Patron Alta regular meet
ing of Friendship Grange. No 225,
on the 9Th day of November, 1881,
the following resolutions were unan-
imously adopted:
WHEREAS, Several newspapers
Of oar State have seen fit to assail
the motives and principles of our
highly respected leader. Captain
Darden, ard have misintcrpreted
his speeches, either designedly or
otherwise, and we believe the OBJ
ject of these assertions is to cripple
his influence, and through him to
retard the growth and Influence oil
the Order. Therefore be it
ReSOLUed, That we view with dis
trust and suspicion those papers
that have impugned his motives
and misrepresented his speeches.
and that We regard them as enemies
OF the great agricultural organiza-
ton known as Patrons Of Husba1,
dry, and regarding them as such
we mutually pledge ourselves to
withhold from said papers our sup
port and patronage.
ReS0lue ], That while we pledge
ourselves to use all honorable means
to prevent our embers from
taking and reading such papers, we
strenuously enjoin upon every mem
Der Of our Order TO subscribe for
and read The PATRON OF HUsBAN
DRY,-a paper whose fidelity to our
cause is above suspicion, and which
has proven itself to be friend in
adversely as well as in prosperity.
ResoIped, That a copy of these
resolutions be sent TO The PATRON
for publication,

We hope the leading spirits of
the Order throughout the South will
now "put their shoulder to the
wheel and give the Grange wagon
a good steady push forward. Our
brethren in other sections are doing
their duty well and manfully. We
would rather boast that the cause
had made more rapid progress in
Alabama or Arkansas or Texas
than it has in Mississippi. We
feel the same interest in it's progress
in other States as we do in this.
Indeed, the sentiment Of State pride
or prejudice should have no place
IN the hearts of our members. We
are all after the same great objects,
and to accomplish the purposes OF
the Order, our army in all the
States should keep step to the same
music and mach under the same
flag. The Patron who would at
tempt insidiously to excite State
prejudice in our ranks is more than
an open enemy to the cause.

While It seems that the Order moves
slowly, yet the progress is certainly sure
and permanent, and perhaps as rapid as
could be expected. and it is more safe than
if moved by exciting impulses. l see no
cause for encouragement but much SO en-
courage and look to the future with great
hopes Of final results"

From a letter received from Brother b..

following which will be interesting to

everkind of business they see fit to
engage 10. Like any other firm
they organize and establish or
ado,t certain rules or bylaws by
with they agree the business shall
be Governed, and no better rules
hav, vet been found than the Roch-
dale Cooperative Associations of
England, and which the National
Grange published and scattered
Broadcast for the information OF
Oranges in particular and the world
in general In those rules the whole
principle of cooperation is fully
set 'orth. It's great and underly-
ing principle is to make every Gus
toner beneficiary in the profits OF
all ,he business it does; of what
ever kind make the customer a
parry to the business, however small
his business, by dividing the entire
profits among them IL proportion to
the custom OF each for each bears
like proportion OF the cost. That
is, if be gives but little custom he
bears but little Of the expense and
cosi and his profits in the same pro
portion of a large customer, there
fore it practices perfect equality,
And the best way is for every COM
muaity to organize and establish a
retail association at home, and let
it send to the central associations IN
the cities for what that neighbor
hood needs, in bulk, and your local
store is simply distributing cen
ter of convenience. and can be con-
Quoted for less freight charges on
goods than If each individual sends
TO the center tor his small lot.
As in the case Of galvanized
bsrbed wire for fencing, l can
row furnish that at 81 cents. To
certain point, lastly inquired
after, freight on wire Is 63 cents
per 100 lbs. by the car load and II
is 50 cents per 100 lbs. less than a
car load.
1t is thus, and greater differences
in many other lines of goods.
| can furnish the best Humboldt
jeans at 40 to so cents per yard, s.nc
ny the single yard if you so order
but you had better have yonr store
and let it order by the bolt or case
The best Sea Island brown do
mestic s cents per yard. But al
dry goods are rising in price.
About the best women's calf shoe:
at 81 so to 81 20, and you can save
moEey on that by the single pail
and order them by express, but yot
had better have your store to order
by the large quantity.
Standard prints 81 to Z cents PEI
yard; superior standard prints
cents. They are all going up.
We can furnish anything in large
or small quantities. Small quaint
ties are great deal of trouble ant
take much more time than large
quantities, but we can and will d.
all we can, yet it is better for all II
order by the quantity and divide
them at retail at home and return
the profits to customers. So sent
one and all, and send the money, t.

Editor Patron: l have just noticed
Il communication in THE PATRON

the point, and if acted upon by the
Patrons of the South, would soon
swell the subscription list Of The
PATRON OF HUsBANDRY to much
larger proportions.

for, and that single item would de-
ter me from subscribing to that pa

have done so. | can not see why
the political press should wish to
impede the progress of the Grange.
In am sure Changers mean nobody
any harm. II they can get justice
it is all they ask for, and farmers
surely have the right, as we'll as
others, to have their organizations
for the benefit and advancement OF
their interests.

For the Patron OF Husbandry.
To Build Up the Grange.
VIM. MAXWELL

Patrons OF Husbandry, be of good
cheer, your numbers, intelligence
and cooperation are being felt even
by the most powerful monopolies.
Use your power advisedly and
unitedly for the good of all. Teach
cooperation on all suitable occa-
sions, explain it so that the dullest
can comprehend il, and above all
practice it, for your teaching will
do but little good unless you prac
tice what you teach. 1t is a thing
that must be fostered and carried
into effect at home among the mem
bers OF your Grange 1t will not
do for you to say am as good
Granger as anybody and scarcely
ever attend the meetings of the
Grange, or come in for a short
while after dinner If you live in
town go to your Grange meeting in
the morning and take your basket
dinner out with you, and do not be
too proud to eat with your country
brothers and sisters. do not think
it the best for those who live in
town to come out in the morning
and at noon go home to their din
ners. Those that do it lose a good
feast of social enjoyment and in
time there will be kind of cold
formality between the town mem
bers and those that live in the coun
try. All should cooperate 10 make
the Grange all that it is possible to
make it. If there are poor members
among you treat them kindly, have
respect for them and their opinion,
they may not be as able to express
themselves as clearly or in as good
language as you that have had bet
ter opportunities, but they are as
sincere in their devotion to the Or
de1 as any one.
Get up a cooperative store. If
you will it, the hardest task is done.
Let all put what money they can
into it and trade at it, and get others
to trade al it and as you get more
means put it into the store and in a
few years a poor community can
own store that they can do all
their trading at and save the money
for themselves that they now give
to the merchants, which is making
them rich Do not divide your
means among too many stores.
Some think that they show them
selves to be big Changers by sub
scribing one or two shares in each
cooperative store within their
county, but not SO. Other Patrons
know that their own store needs
all the money they can get and per-
haps has hard time to make fair
profit. Build up at home, for if we
do not prosper at home we can not
sustain our large commercial houses
at the centers of trade.
Brothers and sisters, cooperate
in all that YOU undertake to do and
success will crown your labors.
Take good papers and read them.
Bay good books, read and study
them, for knowledge combined is
power. HAMILTON CoopER.

We hope the National Grange
will prepare no more petitions to
Congress begging that body to pay
some attention to the rights and in
terests of the agricultural classes OF
the country. Soft words never had
and never will have any effect upon
the politicians. We must try some
thing more effective. Let the Ma
tional Grange issue an address to
the farmers and workingmen gem
orally OF the country appealing to
them to strike the shackles OF party
from their limbs and unite and orr
ganize for the support of men of
their own classes for legislative and
executive Offices. We must fill
Congress and the State Legislatures
with farmers and mechanics before
there will be any change in the
character of our laws or any reform
IN the abuses that permeato and
ooze through every branch of the
public service.

There are thousands of farmers
who are Learning to give more
thought TO the welfare of their FAM
lilies than to the service of profes-
sional politicians during political
campaigns. The Grange is making
these farmers more independent in
their political views and action.
The politicians have ruled the far
mers with an iron hand, but their
power is rapidly slipping from their
hands. As the Grange gathers
strength, the farmers will tarow off
party rule and cast intelligent bal.
lots for the protection of their own
