The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1881-10-22

What beautiful change has come
over the rural districts within the
last few years. In travelling through
the country, either by private con-
veyance or on the great thorough
fare, we see the beautiful, well cul-
tivated farms, large fruit orchards,
commodious barns, elegant houses
with shrubbery and flowers adorn-
ing the front yards and piazzas.
The beautiful is not now confined
to the cities. Homes with modern
provements and conveniences
meet us everywhere. If we should
go into those homes we would find
them nicely and many times ele-
gantly furnished. Books, papers
and magazines in great profus;on
and variety. musical instruments
from which sweet tones emanate.
render those homes cheerful Sons
and daughters with more and intel
lectual powers cultivated, husband
and wife cultured, refined and in
formed on the leading topics of the
day, and of the highest type of hos
pitality and sociability, and a COM
pany of Patrons meeting together,
seem like brothers and sisters of one
family, and though strangers at first
sight soon become like iold time
friends.
1t is past our comprehension how
much the Grange has done for the
farmers family. 1t has opened up
an avenue to wealth, honor and
self-respect, and demand for re-
spect from others, a demand for
rights and privileges which have
not been ours to enjoy in the past,
both because we did not claim our
right to them, and thus were ap-
propriated by others. Farmers have
a power in the community in which

lust where the most Grange ,

Just where the most Grange pa
pers are taken there the Grange
most fOurisbes, and where fhe
Grange most fourishes. there the
farmers are the most prosperous.
Grange papers are necessarily farm
papers, and the farmers who most
read and intejligently study these
papers, are the men who know most
about their business. They may
not have learned agriculture as a
science, but they will understand
the business inteiiigeatly, and intel
ligence is at least u cousin, ii not a
full sister of science. Intelligent
art may well claim kinship with sci
ence and where these combine in
agriculture there agriculture be-
comes pleasant and profitable as
well.

they live, and they are welding 1T
for the good of humanity. This
power is being felt to-day, and will
be more forcibly realized in years
to come. There is true moral worth
in very many of the homes in the
rural districts, and it is destined to
shine forth. Our sons and daugh-
tiers are given grand opportunities
to become useful men and women
in society. These are glorious days
in which to live-days of improve
ment, progression, intellectual ad
vancement and true sociability. Let
us improve them.-Granee Tisitor.

1t has been suggested to call a
meeting of such members of the
Order IN this section as desire to es-
tablish a Cooperative store in this
city, and that snch meeting be held
at Powell Grange hall on Sat
urday, November 9Th. Let ali
come who can, and discuss the
question in all its bearings. We
believe that it is only necessary to
have full discussion to secure such
action as will soon result in the es-
adjustment of a Cooperative store.
OF the speedy success of which we
have no doubt.

The San Francisco Patron says
the prospects OF the Grange Bank
there are excellent. Last year the
aggregate of accommodation loans
made approximated $1,500.000
three fourths of which went TO the
country, secured by grain ware
house receipts. and one OF the graf
lying features of the business is
the fact that in all the loans made
not single dollar was lost TO the
bank.

as sufficient ground for excluding a per-
son from genteel society, since it bru-

EDUCATION.
Permit me to repeat what I said
on former occasion that "educa-
ton is the keynote of success, the
cornerstone upon which our organ,
IZation rests. This feature should
receive due attention from every
member. Every effort should be
made to push forward the great
work of education in every Subor-
dinate Grange. The future of our
Order depends largely upon our ed
ucational advancement. Education
underlies our all, present and fu-
ture. To be worthy of the name
farmer, we must educate to know
how to farm. To be worthy If the
name Patron, we must educate &c
understand the science of agricul.
ture. To exercise proper Influences
for good as American citizens. we
must educate to understand the
science and affairs of government
How necessary, then, that the edu-
cational work in the Grange be

vigor. The progress made in edu-
eating our members leads to bet
