Correspondence OF the Democrat
As have seen nothing from our
part for some time, ! will give your
many readers few sketches.
Health is tolerable good, farmers
are going ahead preparing their land
for another crop. A great many oats
sowed, wheat is coming out some but
looks backward yet. SO everything
| is moving right along.
Our school taught by James II.
Brooks was out last week, Mr..
| Brooks has made us faithful teach
err and deserves credit by the dis
trict for the way and manner in
which he has conducted the school.
The b. OF f. are moving along har-
moniously. New Hope lodge No.
142, meets every Thursday night
week, our lodge numbers about 90
members.
AS our County Coupcil meets on
the Goth to know whether there shall
be any issue taken BY the Brothers
Of Freedom, will give my serious
opinion about the matter. Brethren,
do think that politics is a danger
GUS thing for the Brotherhood to
dabble with, / say let politics take
its regular course, for we do not
want to do anything that would be
an injury to the order. 1t seems
from Bro. Bogas' talk IN your last
issue that they were going to elect a
full set Of officers. II we as B. OF +.
accomplish much good to our people
we must take hold of things eau
tiously, and exercise our best judg-
men., and be reasonable in all things.
So let us lay down politics, for 1T
don't belong to our order. We have
just as good a show as any class OF
men in the election to elect such
men as we see proper. We do not
advocate the idea that farmers must
not take any interest in politics, but
we do say, keep it out of the order.
1t is predicted by some who are not
very favorably impressed with the
order that politics would break it up.
Brothers, let us beware of anything
that would be detrimental to the
order. SUBSCRIBER.
