A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
The Immense Planning Mill of e..
@. Hixon, & Co, at Hannibal
Burned to the Ground.

The immense planning mill, of G. C..
HixOn & Co., at Hannibal, Mo-, common
~ known as "PettebOne's mill" was en-
tirely consumed by fire, Friday night. TIE
mill cost about 100000 and was rebuilt
less than year ago.
The total amount of insurance on the
mill and machinery was but $15, 900, leav-
ing q net loss of $4,000 In addition to
this is the loss to the proprietors BY the
stoppage OF work, which will be no incon-
siderable sum. About two hundred and
fifty men are thrown out of employment.
No satisfactory explanation of the origin
of the FIRE has been made. The mill shut
down rs usual, at $50 p. w., and all
of the hands went home. The two
night watchmen we're in the mill when
the fire broke out, one of them being ND
stairs. The latter heard q dull sort of
sound like q snothered explosion from
near the gangwav, and turning to look.
sew the flames shoot up in the center of
the mill floor. He shouted to his COM
panign for help, and the two men tried to
extinguish the flames by bringing to bear
the hose provided to protect the mill
against fire, but their efforts were of little
avail, and the mill was SION enveloped in
flames.
The FIRE departmentAarrived ON the scene
in good time, and by prompt and efficient
work prevented the flames from spreading
into the lumber yards adjacent to the mill.
II is understood that the mill will be re-
built Immediately,

Co.operasiion.

We print in another column the
report of the Committee on Co.
operation at the last meeting of the
Tennessee State Grange. 1t is an
interesting and instructive docu-
ment, replete with facts and argu-
ments that are worthy of consider
alton by Patrons every where.
Many prominent Patrons in Ten
nessee had opposed cooperation,
while others, and some of them
members of the State Grange,
ignored the question altogether, but
their opposition and their indiffer-
ence have given way before the
steady progress and general success
OF the cooperative system and
some of these were among the most
active supporters of co operation at
the last session of the State Grange:
indeed, the sentiment in favor of
cooperation was so strong at that
session that ii was decided to put
the Order in Tennessee fully abreast
with the organization in the other
States in the advocacy of practical
cooperation. This was a timely
step in the right direction. and if
the leaders in that State will carry
out actively and earnestly the spirit
of the meeting and of this report of
the Committee on Cooperation
there will soon be a general revival
OF theGrange throughout that State.
The farmers of Tennessee are as
ready to rally to the Grange as those
of other States, but they naturally
desire to see some practical benefit
to be derived from the Order, some
thing that will afford them the op-
portunity OF lettering their condi-
ton, and until they see this they
will hold aloof from the organiza-
ton, especially in State where the
Grange has fallen so far short of
popular expectations. This has
been the history of the Order in
other STATES. 1t was not until the
co operative system began to sue
coed, to assume large proportions,
and attract the attention of the far
mers in Texas and Mississippi, that
they again became interested in the
Grange and returned to it in such
large numbers. We expect to see
a general improvement of the Order
in Tennessee during the year, and
to help bring it about, the columns
of The PATRON will always be
open to the leaders in that State.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson is a promi-
rent and an able writer on public
questions, especially on the manu-
facture of cotton. He is a citizen
of Massachusetts,, and his interests
are all confined to that State. He
has given great attention to the
production and manufacture of''cot-
ton, and is regarded as an authority
on these questions. His articles in
the leading publications of New
England and New York are ably
written and have received great at
tention both in England and this
country. His leading object has
been to establish the idea in the
minds of the people of all sections,
especially the farmers of the Cotton
States, that cotton can be manufac-
tured more cheaply and better in
New England than any where else.
He claims, we believe, to be the
originator of the idea of the Atlanta
Cotton Exposition. If that Expo
sition had been confined to the
single object of stimulating the pro-
duction of cotton in the South, it
would doubtless have suited Mr..
Atklnson's views, but the subject of
manufacturing cotton at the South
had great prominence, and Mr..
Atkinson found that its manufac
ture here was more profitable than
at the North, and that with the
Clement Attachment the cotton
planters have it in their power to
manufacture their cotton near the
fields where it is produced, and he
readily perceived that when this is
done, the supremacy of New Eng
land in manufacturing cotton will
be thing of the past. To avert
this is now the object of Mr.. At
iNAoNAA 0iN lIC manufacturers OF
the East, and they propose to
revolutionize the handling of cot
ton by abolishing the present
storage system, doing away with
warehouses, and putting it up in
small bales of I25 pounds and ship
ping it direct to the factories in the
the East. This may be feasible
plan. but it will fail Nothing can
possibly prevent the establishment
of Clement Attachment factories by
the farmers of the Cotton States.
for by manufacturing cotton where
it is grown into yarns they will
find it is very profitable and will
promote in many ways the general
prosperity of our section. Mr.. At
kInson may as well give up the
fight. The power and prestige of I
New England as cotton manufac- I
turing centre will soon pass away, !

grand purposes for which the Or
panization was founded.
1t can not be reasonably expec-
fed that all of these will be accom-
plished in the life time of those
now constituting this body. This
reflection should neither cool cur
ardour nor weaken our efforts, for
we labor not for ourselves
alone, but for those who are to
come after us. The principles
of the Grange, and the Grange
itself, will live long after we have
passed away. The greep sod may
cover the little mounds of clay
where lie in quietude and peace
! the bodies of those who are here
now, but rest assured the good
deeds which may be done; and the
earnest work which may be per.
formed will be lasting monuments
to the memory of those who in the
face of great difficulties, in a spirit
of self denial, and true moral cour
age, gave their time, their talents
their all to the cause of the farmers
of this country.

though that tongue be still and 81

words more eloquent, with more
significance than ever proceeded
from the lips of mortal man. And
