RANGE MUSIC.
46 North Commerce Street,
Mobile. Ala.

The Grange seeks to restore that
unity which the unhappy divisions
of trade, commerce, selfish competi-
ton, partisan bitterness, and the
manifold antagonisms among men
have so deplorably distributed, and
to realize in a more beautiful and
practical form the holy idea of
charity, love and brotherhood. The
tendency to union, to organic eff
fort, to CO operative action is strong
and almost universal at the present
dav. Among the almost endless
variety of human wants there is
not one which makes itself 80 pow
Gully felt as the want of friend
snip. society and the intimate COM
mupion of soul with soul; and yet
such are the habits of modern soci-
ETY. aud the spirit of the times there
is no want so difficult to supply.
There are many hearts glowing
with warm affections, oppressed
with deep and earnest loDgings tor
friendly Intercourse and close COM
munion with sympathizing and re-
sponsive hearts, and yet, like the
spirit in the parable, wander up
and down tbedesert places of life
and find no rest. The cords OF So
cial unity have been severed and
individualism, selfisbness, coldness
and distress have been instilled
where the reign of charity, friend-
ship and mutual love should
abound.-Fdrmer's Friend.

Grange or farmers schools, and

More than one-half of our pop la

that our influence is in proportion

lutely necessary that zee understand

causes and effect, where they exist
and how to remove them. And

with his brother farmer for relief,

whiskey,s Desperation.

New Orleans Christian Advocate.
Before its overthrow whiskey
will make a determined and des-
perate and determined fight for it's
evil existence. Every scheme and
agency will be employed to perpet-
uate it's reign of ruin. The lives
of its enemies will be imperiled, if
need be, yet to stay the hour of it's
downfall. The latest from the
struggle we find in the Associated
Press dispatches of Saturday last
from Shiloh, Ohio. In his most
laudable efforts to have enforced
the law prohibiting the sale of Ii
quor on Sunday, the Rev. w. L.
Phillips. pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal Church in the town, was
most brutally assaulted, and seri-
ously stabbed, by John E. Smith,
"a leading grain dealer" We had
fancied that an unoffending gospel
minister, seeking only the good of
the people, had not to suffer perse-
cution and martyrdom in this great
nineteenth century, but the despe-
ration of whiskey neither knows
God nor man. We pray for the
good brothers recovery, and that
his brave spirit may cheer the
hosts in the battle that is before us.
But this brutal assault upon the
life of Gods servant will be over
ruled for good. The timid and
hesitating will now be aroused, and
a new vigor will be felt in the
movement throughout the great
State of Ohio. We are much mis-
taken if the blood Of Bro. Phillips
does not sound the leudest appeal
for protection against liquor that
ever fell upon the ears of patriots.
What long columns of startling
figures have failed to effect, will be
wrought by the bloody dagger.
This also challenges the sheer
that prohibition does not prohibit.
Why this wild, murderous passion
and attempt to STAY valiant lead
er if there is no danger to the
traffic? Before us is victory. The
battle RACES, and the blu gle call to
duty is sounded all over our fair
land. Let every patriot heed the
summons, buckle on his armor and
move to the front.

Preserving Wagon wheels.
Says correspondent of the Fa
mer's Review:

says correspondent of the Far
mer's Review:
have wagon of which six
years ago the felloes shrunk so the
tires became very loose. l gave it
a good coat of hot oil, and every
year since it has had coat of oil
or paint, sometimes both. The tires
are tight yet and they have not
been set for eight or nine years.
Many farmers think that as soon
as their wagon felloes begin to
shrink they must go at once to a
blacksmith shop and get the tires
set. Instead of doing that, which
is often damage to the wheels,
causing them to "d1sh," if they
will get some linseed oil, heat it
boiling hot and give the felloes all
the oil they can take, it will fill
them up to their usual size and tight
en- the tire. After the oil a coat of
paint is good thing to help keep
them from shrinking and also to
help keep out the water. If you
do not wish to go to the trouble of
n ling paint, you can heat the oil
and tie rag to stick and swab
them over as long as they will take
oil. A brush is more convenient
to use; but a swab will answer if
you do not wish to buy brush. 1t
is quite saving of time and money
to look after the wood work of
farm machinery. Alternate wet
ting and drying Injuries and causes
the best of wood soon to decay and
lose its strength unless kept well
painted. 1t pays to keep little oil
on hand, to oil fork handles, rakes,
neck-yokes, whiffie- trees and any
of the small tools on the farm that
are more or less exposed.

where Are the NratronsY

O, yes! Where are the matronsi
Busy as the bees, doing the count
less things. that comfort, adorn, and
enrich farm life. We may not, like
Mr. oubleday's Polly, be possessed
of neat devil, but we are possess
ed of the desire to do our home
duties thoroughly. With the ba-
kings and curing of the achings,
with the boilings and the broilings,
the preservings and the servings,
the bright, long days go by, leav-
ing US but little time for writing
anything but necessary letters.
While we honor housekeeping in
its material and aesthetic sense, we
would like to find skillful girls to
bear part of the burdens, and until
we do, we don't feel like pushing
the Cinnamon from our shore. Per-
haps we do not realize the impor-
lance of thoroughness until we have
homes of our own.
Think of the almost ceaseless
work of over two thousand Ma
irons: of the good examples set; of
the children being raised to good
citizenship; of the good homes es-
tablished with their help! Many
of them do not attempt writing,
fearing that they will not do it well;
but they are doing far more diff
cult work-living true, noble lives.
Perhaps, more from lack of time
than inventive power, we all work
in the beaten track so much that
we have little that is new to write
about, yet that which is old may
prove new to som and we can at
least compare our own experiences
through the columns of our excel
lent paper. Good ways of doing
things, familiar to some, may be
new to US. 1t is a pity for our
Grange and our paper that many
of our most capable members are
the silent ones-not bat that we
appreciate their help and power,
but we would like their views, too.
When the canning, fruit-drying,
preserving, and watering gardens
is past, the Matrons will have time
to help little in their department
"After the heat of the noontide ray,
After the cares of the weary day
Finished the duties and tolls of the day
Cometh rest"
Then l hope the Matrons, in the
long evenings, will jot down some
of their experience, their successes
and failures, in the quiet but all.

Don't See Any Use of q Grange.


Some farmers don't see any use
of a Grange, or any other organic
cation; so too, there were some men
in ITO who did not see any use of
resisting the inroads aud extortions
of the Mother Country. The Rev.
oIution, however, was a grand suc~
cess without the Tory smpathizers,
and so the Grange is bound to sue
coed in spite of crodking farmers.
We can not do much for this class.
but the question is, What shall be
done to prevent the next genera
ton from sending ont men and
women afflicted with equal or
deeper blindness than the 'croak-
ers?" BE AT work. BE AT
WORK.. is the command; pass
it along the grand line of faithful
Grange workers. Enlist the young

would have made more but it was
badly damaged by the worms
Now, 1 don't think my wheat was
materially injured by the sheep
grazing on it, and yet my whole
lamb crop was raised on wheat
I am sorry to say the interest in
sheep husbandry has declined ma
terially in the last three years. 4
our next State Legislature will
give US a "Good Dog Law" and
every farmer will place sheep on
each farm in Sumner county, and
you will see more profit from this
industry than from any other kind
of stock in the county.
