Patrons are not members of the
Patrons Aid. But the world moves
slow. Farmers have so long trod
den out the corn for others that
they have come to think no man
unselfish or honest, but the truth is
being apprehended. Our Order is
attracting increasing attention; our
aid societies are increasing in num-
bers; our Grange papers are obtain
ing wider circulation; farmers are
talking, feeling and acting more in

their terror and all indications point

the Grange press. May the peo-

FROM ALABAMA.
NEareng0 County.

Editor Patron: On the I'd day
of last July our brother, VIM Jas.
Johnson, organized a Grange here,
known as Pleasant Hill Grange,
No. 69o, which is the only working
Grange 10 the county. We have
been working slowly up TO this
time, but it seems that the farmers
are beginning to see the i'm Importance
of uniting themselves together. We
believe we are about to pass over
the boisterous ocean and find new
world prepared for The happy resi-
dcnce of our liberty. We don't
wish to stain the glory of our wor-
thy ancestors but like them resolve
never to part with our birth-rights.
May we, as Patrons, be wise In our
deliberations and determined In our
exertions for the preservation Of
our liberties. 1t is now time for
all iaborers to enlist themselves
under the sacred ba-sner of the
Grange, and use every method in
their power to secure their rights
and prevent the curses Of posterity
from being heaped upon our MEM
ories. We have the confidence that
the same Almighty Being who en-
a5led nnr fnrafather TO turn THE
barren wilderness into a fruitful
field will still be mindful of us, their
offsprings.
have just received THE PATRON
and earnestl appeal to every far.
mer who, as 1 do, earns his living
by the sweat Of his face, to take
The PATRON. 1t will make you
love the Order; it will make you
love your brethren, and man will
not be so treacherous towards man.
1t will bring about that good and
noble feeling between North and
South-for of right we all should
and ought to be great aud happy
people.
Come down, Worthy Master Har
rison, and tell The people about that
good time coming. We have a
noble people here, and we have
some good workers in the Grange,
amongst them is our ex. Worthy
Master, Capt N. F. Dixon, who mas
hung his banner on the outer wall
and shows to the people that on
ward is his watchword Let us
not go backward, and success will
crown our efforts at last, for we
know that the plow, the loom and
the anvil are the grand rounds of
the ladder of advancement.

Lee County.

Editor Patron: The Grange in
Lee county, from present indica-
tions. has come to stay. We have
eight live, working Oranges in the
county, with mem bership of about
500. We have in the county and
near the line seven cooperative
stores principally supported by Lee
county Patrons. They are all, ex-
eept the one at Giddings, on the
Rochdale plan, and | firmly hope
and honestly believe that we will
change this one to the Rochdale
plan in April, to take effect in
July next. We have a few mem~
bers who oppose the change, and |
will do them the justice of saying
that / believe they are as honest in
their convictions as we are who
favor the change. We are doing
an immense business for a very
small profit. We think it is much
better to pay the dividends over
the counter than to pay them in
money at the end of the year We
do not sell for net profit of more
than 3 per cent. On an average. In
fact, we have not done that we'll
since July, 1881 We sold from
July, 1881, to January, 1882, over
$4,000 worth of goods, and only
made a profit on the capital invest
ed of Iess than u per cent. The
capital was about $13, 3,000
We propose to change our By
Laws SO as to give stockholders he
net profits on their purchases and
none to any any else, and we have
estimated that stockholders will
purchase one-fourth OF the goods,
and the other three-fourths will be
purchased by Patrons and others
who are not stockholders, consc-
quently the profits on three-fourths
of the trade and 10 per cent inter-
est on the money invested by the
stockholders will go to remunerate
capital. Now suppose We begin
next July with capital Of SIS 900
and sell during the year 100000
worth of goods at a net profit of 3
per cent, stockholders will get :
per cent. trade dividend Then 3
per cent profit on $751; worth OF
goods is the emulation, which
would be $2,250. Now divide that
by $4,000 and we have Is per
cent, to that add 10 per cent. in
terest and we have for capital 25
per cent. Is there a true Patron
any whore who would not be satis-
fed with such a profit on his money?
| hope not.
1t will take two thirds of all the
stockholders of our Association
voting in favor of this change TO
