EDITOR FARMER.-DeGr scr AS
Corresponding Secretary of Cairo
Alliance, No. 81, 1 will write you
something of our Alliance. We are
now one year old, and while we have
not grown fast in numbers, we have
been steadily increasing, and we now
number forty, all males; but we have
some female applicants, and hope oon
to have all the eligible ladies of this
community, members. While others
boast of their numbers, we can boast
that we haven't one Ineligible mem
Der. The Alliance is doing great
good; it is benefting us morally,
socially and financially. 1t is hard
for us to estimate what it has saved
the farmers of Arson county this
year, and we think it will still be more
profitable another year. Cotton crops
n short and are being gathered very
fast. Corn is good; the pea and potato
crops are good, and the most of our
farmers have a good supply of hogs.
so you see, Mr. Editor, we are going
to have meat and bread. I hope soon.
to see the farmers as they used to be,
making their farms self-sustaining.
Then the farmer will realize more of
the benefits of his labor and have the
cashin his pocket when he goes to
town to pay for what he needs. :
I cannot close without telling you
something of our picnic at Cairo
August 23d. There were 500 or.
more persons there from all parts of
Arson and a great many from Rich.
mond county who came to hear Capt.
S. B. Alexander speak at (1l) eleven
o'clock. DR.. Maynard mounted the
stand and announced that Capt. A.
had not stopped at Lilesville az was
expected, and it was not certain then
that this distinguished gentleman and
speaker would be with us. After
giving the people a warm and hearty
greeting, he stepped down, but the
people did not intend to 60 away
without hearing a speech, and at once
called on our County President, DR..
A. A. Maynard, who reluctantly con-
sented and spoke about thirty minutes
only as DR.. M. can speak, in his pleas:
ant and graceful style, when it was
announced that Capt. A. had arrived
from Wadesboro, to the delight of all
present. DR.. M. gave way and intro
duced Capt. A, who spoke one hour
and ten minutes. His speech vas a
perfect gem. Capt. A. is certainly
acquainted with the needs of. the
farmers and his speech was to the
point, and / think was seed sown in
good ground. The committee on in
vitation certainly did well in securing
the services of such a speaker as Capt.
Alexander. [ would like to give
your readers a brief outline of his
speech, but space will not permit.
At the close of his speech, DR.. May
nard, in behalf of the ladies, presented
Capt. A. with some beautiful flowers,
who responded in a short and pleas
ant speech.
Dinner was soon announced and the
most polite crowd, marched up to one
of the best filled tables it has ever
been our pleasure to see. After all
had been abundantly nourished and
refreshed, some of our young bachelors
(of which we have quite a number)
seemed to enjoy the afternoon.
Wishing our bachelors, the Alliance
and the PROGRESSIVE FARMER success,
I am, Fraternally yours,
CAIRO.
