which he has no personal interest, he can
achieve nothing generous or noble.

IUCkAHOE, IN. w., julio III, 90.
Col. l.. L. PoLK.-Dear Sw:-This
is my first letter to you. Our Alliance
was organized in December, 1887,
with % members and has steadily
increased to about the number of So.
We have some of as good men as the
country affords, but some are yet
standing aloof. They are Influenced
by the opposing class who tell them it
will be against the farmer and that it
will bring about the stock law and
other troubles. Now, let me tell you,
this class don't know it all, if they are
smart men. May the farmer learn his
condition and try to better it; he can
do it if he will arise and put his Shout
der to the wheel.
Our last meeting being the first one
in June we had our election of officers.
The Alliance is booming in most parts
of Jones. We are anxious to get the
trade system in practice. We have
had a trade committee appointed by
our County Alliance composed of one
from every sub-Alliance to wait on the
merchants and receive bids. Our
Alliance is going to raise a sinking
fund so that we may get our heads out
of the lions mouth and 1 would rec
ommend this to every other Alliance.
I will close by saying hurrah for
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER and the
Farmers Alliance. .s

The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1888-06-26
For THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER.
A FEW REMARKS FROM LONG
BRANCH.

+ Well, you are all wondering, no
doubt, what is the cause of my not
writing again. If you would like to
know what 1 have been doing, by way
of employment, I guess | must tell
you, no matter how humiliating it
may prove to my own personal vanity.
In short, there is really nothing to
offer as a reasonable excuse, unless it
is this: You see these are dreadfully
unhealthy times, and l caught malaria;
then my folks sent for the doctor, and
of all the powders-well, I fail to find
words to express my triumph when
the last one of those delightful q%uinine
powders was gone. They have left
my brain in such a muddle and buz-
zing condition that [ am thoroughly
unable to collect my thoughts long
enough to write about the good ALI
ance folks of Long Branch. Saturday
the 9th we had a new election of Off
GERS, but we kept some of our old ones,
that we possibly could not give up.
You bet we didn't give up our door
keeper or secretary: We elected a
new president, as our former one re-
signed. He made a first-rate president,
though, if he does think so himself.
There isn't anything that can make
an Alliance man feel more independ-
ent than a fine crop, and we are all
blessed with very good ones thus far.
Il tell you the cotton is fourishing,
and 60 where you will, you will see
fine swamps of corn almost black, it
is so rich and fine. I am one Of those
cole" time farmers, that believes in
discarding SO much cotton and plant
ing more corn, peas and "pertaties"
and Notwithstanding to live on
Independently. This way of planting
all cotton and going in debt for corn,
bacon and such like won't pay, for it
will invariably take all the cotton when
fall comes to pay ration bills, and hen
you are not any better off than when
you began. And what is there that
does a mans soul more, good in the
winter than to see the barn full of
corn and the smoke house full of nice
homemade meat and lard, the cellar
full of potatoes, plenty of rice and
homemade -four, which is so much
better than what you buy. If you
will try raising moreof the n-ecessar1es
of life, you willssoon find your head
above the water, and land in sight.
Well, my brain is getting mixed up.
[ imagine I am in the rice field or
potato patch in this heat, and it almost
runs me wild, So bidding you all a
prosperous year, and The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER a large patronage,
1 will close, will stop, win cease to write,
And, like a spirit, gently fade from sight,
With the feryent hope that you will
all remember me ever, as an
ALLIANCE GIRL,
