"Now is the winter of our discomfort

direful agony. Red Aannels won't
keep off these invaders of the body
"nary a Bit" though pulled up to do
so. But Edward Wilder's Sarsaparilla

blood disease, and red fhnnels will no

The relief must be radical. Besides
this, if scrofula troubles you, this Is
another. blood disease where this extra
ordinary combination of medicine is
the conqueror of the age. Try it if
your blood is depraved. If you yell

relieved.

Vegetable and Fruit Growers As
ISOLATION.

Davidson and other counties in the
State have their vegetable and fruit
growers clubs, and their farmers, gar
deners and fruit.growers are greatly
benefited thereby. Why may not
Warren, White, Coffee, Cannon,
D9Kalb and other counties around
us have similar associations d? There
is no question but a well regulated
vegetable and fruit growers associa-
ton would be of great value to the
farmers and fruit growers Of this sec
ton. We have the finest and most
valuable lands in the State for fruits
and vegetables, and what our people
want and most desire is to know how
to make these lands and the products
of the greatest value to their owners.
We think well organized club would
be OF great advantage to the people OF
these counties. They have been ofgreat
benefit to this class of farmers in other
counties, and why not be of equally as
much help to the same class of people
in Warren and adjoining counties.
We present this subject for consider
alton, and if there is anything in it Of
real value We hope some of our leading
farmers and fruit growers will take
steps to organize an association witt
such rules and regulations as they may
deem proper Whatever the STAND
ARD can do to promote these Interest,"
will be cheerfully done. We are to
any and all measures that have fo
their object the promotion of the rea
interest of the people. We desire t.
see our farmers as well as all othe
classes around us prosperous. Whel
they are prosperous we share their pros
perity.

The National Grange

Has just closed its 18th annual session
at indianapolis. 1t was one of unusual
interest, was largely attended, being
composed of sober, dignifed, working
delegates from thirty-two States.
Amongst them were men occupying
high political Office, a Governor, mem
Der of Congress, secretary Of State,
several commissioners of agriculture,
Others filling minor offices, and repre-
sentatives of the press, and all eminent
representative farmers, and thorough
ly-imbued with the principles of the
order. 1t is live. progressive order,
working earnestly to promote the in
terests OF agriculture, and the farmer
There was much business transacted at
the late session. The order seems, in
deed, to strengthen with passing years,
and grows yearly more comprehensive
in its objects, and in the latitude it al
lows to discussion; recognizing the fact
that every subject which affects the in
terest of the farmer is one Of legitimate
grange inquiry. 1t is demanding leg
islation to bring the railroads under
Just and equal laws, to make the COM
mission OF agriculture cabinet of five,
and to revise the patent laws, and is
confident OF securing it, and Is justly
so perhaps from the progress already
made in this direction. 1t is demand
ing the more practical and specific edu-
cation of the farmer through colleges
and public schools. 1t complains that
the study of agriculture is neglected in
the agricultural colleges, and demands
that the public school system should be
revised to meet the growing demand
that elementary science be taught ii
them. 1t declares its allegiance is due
rather to principles than to parties anC

BreadStufS.

The expectation of domestic bread
stuffs from the United States during
the month of October, 1882, and the
same month in 1881, is reported by
the Chief of Bureau to be as follows:
Barley, $1,000 and 10,64O bushels;
Indian corn, 1,0O5,77 and 4,974,661
bushels; meal, 20, 1873 and q, SAT bar
rels. Oats, 80, 1876 and 1858 bushels;
rye, 1855 and 55,246 bushels /;
wheat, 10, 044,247 and 1850, S02 bush.
els; flour, 614,235 and 800, 397 barrels
The value of these shipments in Octo-
Der, 1882, was SIS, 205, 1903; in Octo.
Der, 1881, it amounted to 1889, 9l4.
The total values for ten months, ended
Oct. 81, 1882, S149, 1877, $50; in Oct.
81, 1881, $780, 1925 This last
shows badly for the trade Of 1882.
Per contra, the total value of these
articles exported during the foul
months just passed is sS4, ,719
while for the four months ended Oct
81, 1881, it is SS0,311,635. The re
naming two months will at this rat
showa total for 1882 gratifyingly large
than the total for 1881, as above.

Letter from Japan.

OSAKA, JAPAN, Aug. %, 1882.
Ladies of the c. P, Church.:
DEAR SIsTERs-It is a great pleas
ure for us to feel that we are sisters,
though we are separated by an ocean,
and have never seen each other. 1t is
only through the living connection of
Jesus Christ that this is so. If this
True Light had not awakened our
sleep we would not have come to think
of this familiar connection. When we
consider this We must offer hearty
thanks for foreign missionaries who
came over to Japan to sacrifice them
selves for the cause of the Cross, tho
it is the Spirit of God who led them.
You have sent us missionaries, and
they have greatly aided our knowledge
of God. In our country, from ancient
times, the female education, which is
the cause of so much of the peoples
immortality, has been in very low con
dition, as you well know. The conse
quence of this low condition of the fe
male education greatly damages the
progress of the people, especially il
their intellectual growth. We arr
sometimes considered as very low con
stituted beings. We are very indig
naut at hearing this, but as it is

feel that such advance, at this time, is
otstrictly in accordance with justice.
They claim that a few months ago
when business on this road was com
paratively small, they proposed to the
railroad officials at Nashville that if
they would make reasonably low
rate from this point to various cities
South that they would make an effort
to help move the large crop of apples
in this county which ought to go to
market. After so long d time a rate
was given to many of the principal
points South, about the same as on
grain. This was accepted, and the
work of shipping green apples began
with the fall crop and has gradually In
creased to the present and is now so
large that cars are not always at hand
to move all the freights promptly. The
grounds for complaint are about these ::
The rates given were as we thought to
move the present crop, at least, and
under this impression we went 10 work
and invested money in apples and bar
rels and contracted for several thousand
bushels more, all based on the recent
rate of freight. Now, right in the
midst of the business, with a large num-
Der of barrels on hand and contracted
for, the freights have advanced. Ap-
Piles are exceedingly liable to perish,
and we are required to guarantee the
freights on them, so if they rot and dc
not sell for anything we are compelled
to pay their freight. We are compelled
in this way to again divide the littl'
margin of profit with the railroads
whether they are on the right side o
the balance sheet or not. This ma,
be all right upon the part of publ
carriers, but if SO we fail to see it.
In this we are reminded of til
. sharp Yankee and the clergyman. tn
latter was visiting places of interest i
the Holy Land. He came to the Sc
of Galilee and being anxious to see tn
:, place on which the Saviour walked
asked the Yankee what he woul
