BURNETT, July 16.-The Alliance meet
ing at Marble Falls adjourned Friday
night. Leading members of the order
who have been in attendance claim that
the factory enterprise is now on better
basis than ever before, and feel confident
of ultimate success The actual cash
subscriptions to stock taken during this
meeting amount to $4,000. AS the num-
Der of Alliance men present wa3 not very
large this result is regarded as highly
satisfactory, and one that will make the
work of taking future subscriptions easy.
General Johnson made gthe Alliance a
proposition to give $1,000 cash as bonus
toward the factory if they can find
twenty men in the Alliance who will take
$1,000 stock each and pay the cash into the
treasury TO begin work; and the Alliance
brethren think they can meet the condi-
tions in short time.
1t was resolved that tae actual work be
commenced in three or four months from
this time, and the meeting adjourned with
firing of guns in celebration of its salts
factory results. Many persons have
doubted, and, in fact, many still doubt the
success of the Alliance in this factory
project; but wien they begin to come
down to hard cash they furnish the best
earnest of future success. Even $4,000 in
cash is far more convincing than $4,000
in discussion.
