terville Grange never does things
by pieces. They will, If favored
with good weather. have a large
crowd and a good time
At Pine Forrest Grange, 1873, the
County Grange is to meet on the
18th Of July, for two or three days.
That will be the grand rally OF the
Patrons of this county. All of the
Oranges are expected to be there,
and the whole community are ex-
pecting and will be prepared to re-
eeivc all in a hospitable manner.
This will be one of our best meet
ings. Il is hoped that all commits
tees will be ready with their re-
ports, for there are several reports
expected that is of vast importance
to the producing people,
Bro. Worthington, you know the
Importance of committees being
ready with we'll written and well
arranged reports, and as you have
communication with thousands and
tens of thousands of Patrons, urge
them to a faithful performance of
all the duties that may be assigned
them. 1t is to committees that all
bodies look for well digested plans
on any subject assigned them.
THERE'S Enthusiastically unrest and
dissatisfaction in all the States of
the Union-North, South, East and
West--at this time in regard to the
laboring people, by being robbed
by class Legislation to make the
"rich richer and the poor poorer"
and at the bottom of it is set OF
bosses, whose every mandate, order,
and even wish, must be obeyed, or
the party lash is numerically app
plied-even to the ruin of those who
yet dare to think that they have
some rights they ought to retain.
Nearly ali secular papers, and
many religious Dues, takes sides
with the rich and powerful eorpo
rations against the people, because
they are benefited individually or
collectively by these rich and
tyrannical monopolies. Bro. A. J.
Rose rebuke of the BabtistHerald
IS timely and of the right temper.
Any religious paper that takes sides
with a gang of robbers, whether
they are high way men or legalized
robbers needs rebuke, and that of
strong and unmistakable character.
Robbing is robbing, whether done
In accordance with corrupt made
laws or in violation of good laws.
There never would, or could have
been, the vast amount of money
concentrated in the bands of few
men in so short time without
sharp practices being used to get at,
The people take and read papers
that are in the pay of their worst
cnemies-like machine politicians.
Many papers talk at times in favor
of the down -trodden and toiIing
masses, but when the issue is made
1T does not take far seeing person
to tell on which side they may b..
found.
As the season is at hand, when
you can spare the time, go to all
meetings where your interests are
to be discussed, and take a lively
interest in shaping public senti-
meent in the direction of justice.
Watch all men that have special
privileges granted them by corpo-
rations, for those privileges were |
not granted for naught. There are
many noble Grange leaders now in
the field, go to hear them and help
them. If you can not speak, help |
those that can.
Fraternally, HAMILTON COOPER.
