uals by cooperating together could
save, it appeared to be very evident
that local associations ceuld save
much more by purchasing through
one central agency, which is clearly
proved by the above figures. All
well informed co-operators agree
that each member should purchase
his supplies from his local store,
and that it is to the interest of the
local associations to purchase their
goods and transact their business
through this agancy. There can
be no question as to its two fold ben
eft; first, in enabling US to rid our
selves of the drummers; and Sec
end, the great magnitude that our
business would soon reach would
command the attention of all kinds
of manufacturers, which 7ould en-
able US to secure our supplies from
first hands at the very lowest price.
United action will bring this re-
suit. The time will be shortened
or heightened in proportion to our
action. Which shall it be? is a
question to be answered by our
action.
We now have 81 Cooperative
Associations owning stock in the
Texas Cooperative Association and
It's individual stock holders. Three
of these Associations are not now
in business but will resume per.
haps this fall The future is very
encouraging.
Our work has been one Of unceas-
ing toll, but it has been made pleas
ant by the uniform kindness and
encouragement that we have re-
ceived from all Patrons with whom
we met or had to transact business.
Respectfully submitted.

worked with unflagging zeal to

had done nothing else for the far

to their lasting gratitude. And
in building up the Association, he
has been most ably and faithfully
sustained by the General Manager.

from Worthy Master Rose and his
annual report:
Editor Patron, We have just
closed the most successful meeting
of the Texas Cooperative Associ
alton ever held since its organiza-
tion. Fifty-one delegates were in
attendance, and large number of
visitors were present from all por-
tions of our State. We are greatly
encouraged by the great advance
that has been made in commercial
CO opesation by the Texas Co ope-
rative Association and the general
information of it's members. The
Association have made over twelve
thousand dollars net profit on the
capital invested in the business.
We have handled nine thousand

Fleeing the Farmers.

The ease With which some farm
ers can be deceived and cheated out
OF their hard earned possessions has
developed class of sharpers who
seem to make good living by such
rascalities. Hardly month passes
In which we do not hear of some
one who has been taken in by an
agent of some manufacturing COM
pany, or imposed upon by a peddlar
OF trees, lightning rods, or sewing
machines. Sometimes the rascality
is increased by getting the victim
lzed farmer to give note payable
at a suture time, which note is then
changed by the sharper as to do a
great wrong to him who gave it.
Two such cases have come to our
knowledge within a few days. D.
Coleman, living near Middleburg,
Snyder county, Pa, lately signed
some papers in a transaction with
the agent of a clothes-wringer for
$500. These afterwards came to
him in the shape of promisory
notes; and the sheriff notified him
that they would have to be paid

A. F. TEAGUE.

Husbandry was first organized in
Texas and he learned that Grange
had been organized in his county,
he put in his application for mem
bership and rode twelve miles to
take the first degree, since which
time he has devoted much of his
time and means to the cause.
At the organization of Prairie
Lea Grange, 90, January II, 1874,
he was elected Master, which office
be filled most satisfactorily to the
memb bers for three successive years.
He represented his county at the
organization of the Texas State
Grange, and at the next two annual
meetings. He was subsequently
twice elected a delegate to the State
Grange, but i'll health prevented bis
attending. He is now Deputy Lee
turer of Caldwell county, President
Of Prairie Lea Cooperative Asso-
citation, and Director OF the Texas
Cooperative Association. He has
never failed to advocate the prin-
ciples Of our noble Order at all
times and in all places, nor has he
ever lost hope in it's final success.
No Grange leader in Texas en-
joys in a greater degree the conf
dence and good will of his CO.
workers than H. M. Daugherty.
In all the gloom and disasters of
the past, he never faltered nor lost
hope in the ultimate success of the
Order; "he has kept the faith and
fought good fight" and his re,
ward will come. The farmers of
his county honor him for his ster-
ling integrity; they love him for his
patriotic devotion to their interests;
and they confide in him for his bold
and fearless advocacy of the prin-
ciples and purposes of their organ.

and with a cause so just and noble,
where is the farmer who can lose
hope in the final success and per-
petuity of the Grange!
