Bro. J. C. Ramsey, Secretary of
Iredel County Alliance, requests US
to give notice to the brethren of that
county that Bro. w. III. H. Gregory
Of S~tatesville, N. c., will buy Alliance
cotton on and after the 22d of Octo.
Der, four days in each week, viz:
Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and
Saturdays, and at Mooresville, N. c..
Mondays and Tuesdays.
The Argonout, a new paper just
started at Nashville, N. c., says it is
really glad to learn that the Alliance
has established a "cotton Office in
that town, and adds: alt has already
done u market great good and will
be the means of bringing in a larger
supply of cotton. It makes no differ
ence whether the Alliance agents pay
more for cotton than other buyers the
farmers seem to be better pleased and
more satisfied this season."
p. M. Rhyme, Assistant Lecturer,
of CASTOR County, informs us that his
Alliance, No. 1906, was organized
some five weeks ago by Col. G. B.
Pickett of Texas, and is progressing
as favorably as could be expected. II
heartily endorse the editorial in your
last issue, "A Hard Year on Farm
ers." I an glad to see our good peo-
pie waking up all over Old North
to a sense Of their duty. May
God speed the good work"
II. B. Hamrick, the worthy Sec
rotary of Cleveland Alliance, favors
us with a letter in which he says many
pleasant and encouraging things of
the order. His Alliance, after a
thorough understanding of the "Busi-
ness Plan" resolved to give it a hearty
support. "One farmer, alone" re-
marks the brother, "is weak and more
or less helpless, but enough of them
could join together to move the world,
and this [ believe they will do through
the medium of the Farmers Alliance"
The editor of the Wilmington
Messenger says: owe. want to see a
grand Agricultural Fair in North
Carolina under the auspices of the
Farmers Alliance, for they could and
would, should they enter upon it, es-
tablish a permanent exhibition for the
display o. 5sthe products in Industries
OF the State, that would correctly rep
resent all sections, and fttingly illus.
trate the resources and progress Of
the State. = 1t is peculiarly the prov
ince of the Farmers, Alliance" How
would it do for the State Alliance to
purchase the buildings, grounds, &C.,
Of the North Carolina Agricultural
and conduct the institution as
their own? Think about it.
"A note from Bro. A. Grant, Of
Rich Square Alliance, No. 953, re-
ports a membership of &c, with several
applications o. the Secretary's desk.
They have not held a single meeting
since their organization, in July last,
that they have not had from two to
ten applications for membership, and
they are still knocking at the door.
The people in this section seem to
realize the necessity. of organization
