We present, as fitting tribute
to the memory of one of the noblest
spirits that ever enlisted under the
banner of our grand army of prog
rese, the portrait of the lamented
7. J. Smith, who for SO many years
was known far and wide as the
able, patriotic and beloved Master
Of the Georgia State Grange. The
report of the committee, which
appears in the proceedings of the re-
cent session of the State Grange,
shows how strong and deep were the
affection and respect of the Patrons
ofGeorgia for "the good man gone, ="
and how great is the loss they have
sustained.

Report of Committee on Dor
mant Oranges. We, the Commit
tee on dormant Oranges beg leave
to make the following report: We
would respectfully refer you to the
reports of the National Grange for
the last three years in relation to
the causes and remedies for their
reorganization We believe the
best plan to reorganize dormant
Oranges is to educate the masses.
The best plan fer such work we
believe is by live Lecturers, and
a general distribution of Grange
literature.

Report of Committee on Agri-
culture: Worthy Master and Breth-
zen: your Committee on Agricul-
ture beg leave to say that SO much
has been written upon this subject
they deem it unnecessary to add any
thing. to the long list of recommen-
dations unless more would be prac-
ticed on the part of the Brother
hood.
We have had cline upon line
and precept upon precept; here a
little and there a little but of
what avail? 1t is with shame
that we confess that we are not
going forward in the great field
of Agriculture in wise and profit
able manner We spend too much
and make too little, and cultivate too
much land or try, and manure to
much with chemical fertilizers,
costing US too much in the long run
and no permanent improvement to
the soil, and leave out the many
ways of saving a good fertilizer
at home that would permanently
improve the soil and thereby enable
us to reap where we have sown.
Brethren, we desire to be short
and therefore beg you IN your con-
versations and examples to strive
to lead the Agriculturists of your
communities into a different line of
procedure. Let us strive to curtail
our expences in every branch of
our calling. Let US profit by the
dealings of just Providence and
prepare for more "hog and hominy'
and make cotton surplus crop.
Let US by all means avoid the
ruinous policy of the credit system.
Respectfully submitted.

Woythy Master and Brother Pa
irons. Again it becomes my duty
to submit to yonr body my annual
report. In compliance Herewith,
allow me to say | regret that no
more cheering account can be rem
dered. While we have had to re-
cord the dissolution of several eth
cient Oranges, it should afford
Measure to know that eight dor
mant ones have resumed work, and
oive promise of increased useful
ness and endurance.
The Secretary's quarterly report
to the National Grange, for the
quarter just preceding your last
session, showed only fifteen Gran
oes clear of the books, and 55I pay
ing members. The report for Sep
tenlber 90, 1881, showed twenty
two Oranges, with I,244 members.
In al lition to this there are other

termned TO keep up the struggle.
The Worthy Secretary, E. Taylor,

bright and promising.

There are thousands of Patrons
IN georgia who have lost interest in
the cause simply because they had
not kept up with the work and
progress of the Order in other
oIates, and as they heard nothing
ABOUT it from the political and agri
cultural press they supposed it was
really dead. A mum Der of Oranges
nave been reorganized in that State
manly through the influence of
'i"s journal. and it is the opinion of
'ae leaders that if its circulation in
.le State could be pushed up to
I'VE thousand that the Order
mere would soon regain all the
ground 1t has lost and make more
'apid progress than ever. The Pa
'0n IN Georgia who takes this pa
PEI will learn all that is going on

''@'e and throughout the South; he
"ould learn that Worthy Master

'I'NanSas, and Darden of Missis-
y PPl' will soon engage in a canvass

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON CON

The Secretary, as chairman of
committee on constitution and BY
Laws, appointed at last meeting,
read the report OF same.
Owing to great length of same,
it was suggested that it be printed
cheaply and a copy sent to each
Grange to be discussed by it, so
that the next session of this body
shall be prepared to amend or ratify.
On motion, by Bro Moffitt, the
Secretary was directed to have the
suggestion carried into effect.
Carried.
Report of Committee on Good of
the Order. Your committee beg
leave to report:
That in our opinion uniformity
and strict observance of all Laws
are absolutely necessary to the
maintenance of our organization
We apprehend more danger from
Irregularities, especially in finances,
than from any other cause. We
Therefore recommend that our Rep
resentative in the next National
Grange be Instructed to use all
available Influences to secure such
alteration in the Constitution as
will allow State Oranges to regu-
late their finances. We recommend
that all Subordinate Oranges send
delegations to the Cotton Exposition
FOR the purpose of observing i'm
proved Agricultural implements,
and deciding if any are peculiarly
adapted TO their respective localities
and such other matters as may be
of general interest.
We commend the advise of the
Worthy Master of the, National
Grange to all Patrons, and that it be
read and studied by all Subordinate
Oranges.
We also recommend that Patrons
make earnest efforts to extend the
circulation of our official organ, THE
PATRON OF HUsBANDRY.
We confidently recommend the
Cooperative system adopted by the
National Grange as the surest
means of prosperity in the Order
and independence to the laboring
classes.

RehObOth Grange. 1876.

Worthy Master and Brothers and
Sisters of the State Grange of Geor-
gia: We are glad to meet with you
once more as delegates from Reho,
both Grange in the eleventh session
of this body. It has not been our
good fortune to meet with you in
several of our past sessions, but we
trust that by the grace of kind
Providence TO be represented in
your meetings in the future.
Rehoboth Grange deeply sympa-
thise with you in the loss of one of
the most noble and efficient officers
of your body-our late Worthy
Master, T. ]. Smith, We all feel
that we have sustained very great
loss as leader in the Grange cause.
We know and feel that we shall miss
his words of wisdom as the presi-
ding officer of your body, but we
trust that you may be able to choose
another who will be able to fill his
place as faithfully and worthily as
the one whose voice will be heard
no more in our midst. Let US strive
to follow his example, and keep our
shoulders to the wheel and our cause
moving until our noble Order has
fully accomplished the great objects
and aims for which it was brought
into existence.
Rehoboth Grange was organized
Dec. 22, 1873, with nearly full
charter membership, and for about
three years our Grange prospered
and increased until our number
grew to about S. members. 1t ther
came to stand still for short time
and began to decline by the failure
of the members TO attend our meet
irgs, and our number ran down tt
about IS, but these proved to b.
true veterans and faithful soldiers il

our Order
ResofOed, further, That we renew
our efforts to extend its circulation
in our bounds, and are persuaded
that it has assisted us in doubling

gia.
