The Date of Meeting Postponed for suf-
tietent Reasons.
DALLAS, TEX, Sept. "a, lass.-To
the members of the national farmers
alliance and cooperative union OF
America, greeting:
Whereas, notice has been received
at this Office of the prevalence of an
epidemic Of yellow fever in several
sections of the south, aud many places
have established a quarantine again
st the infected districts, and
Whereas, This condition of affairs
would seriously interfere with the
attendance at the coming meeting of
the national farmers alliance and
cooperative union of America, the
regular session Of which was APP
pointed to be held IN the city of Mer-
idian, Miss, on the 10th day of Octo-
Der 1855, and
Whereas, From present indlcat-
ions. it seems almost impossible to
hold II well attended and successful
meeting at that time, and
Whereas, In consequence of the
above reason and for the further rea-
son that time may be granted all the
States to perfect and get in working
order more satisfactorily their bust
ness arrangements prior TO said
meeting, a postponement seems alb
SOlutely necessary, now,
Therefore, l.. c. W. McCune, presi-
dent of the national farmers alliance
and cooperative union of America do
hereby proclaim that said meeting is
hereby postponed to meet in the city
of Meridian, Miss, on the 10th day of
January, 1889, at 10 a. M, and that
The postponelnent will not in anyway
change the powers of said meeting
nor its relations to the business to be
performed, and that said meeting
will be the regular meeting, and not
l called meeting Of the national
body. Yours ~traternally,
&, W, MCCUNE,
President y. F. \. and {. t.

The following article from the New
Orleans PicaynRe gives an account
of 4 severe test Of the Lane Mills
~bagging with fire.
Once more the Lane Mills bagging
has undergone the severest tests sat
isfactorily. Previous trials had
shown IL equal and superior to jute
bagging in so far as were concerned
the use of hooks, handling, compress
sing, weighing, sampling, heading,
reheading and the protection it gave
the cotton from dirt and water. Yes
terday it was submitted to the test of
fire, and proved II phoenix. The
trial was for the benefit of the Board
of Underwriters.
The test took place at 3 P. IN. on
Market street, in front of the Conn
mercial press. A large crowd was
present, and The insurance companies
were well represented. Among these
were Marshall ]. Smith, ofthe North
America of Philadelphia, and Lam
cashire of Manchester, Eng, etc,
Charles r. Ralley, of the General Of
Dresden, the Mannheim of Germany,
Marine of London, etc; Clarence r.
Low, of the Liverpool, London and
Globe; Douglas West and 2. +. Pes
eud, general insurance agents, and
+. H. Fsrrar, Esq.
-Four bales were used for the test.
First on a compressed bale covered
with cotton cloth bagging was placed
an uncompressed jute bale. a long
side these with a compressed bale
covered with jute and OH top of that
was an uncompressed cotton cloth
bale. A match vas applied to the
first lutte bale. Immediately it was
enveloped in flames within a secon''
Of time the fire had run from n end
uf the bale to the other, and every
thread and strand was burning. The
bale beneath, covered with cotton
cloth, was almost uniujured, the only
damage being a slight scorching to
he baggiug, which did not extend
10 The cotton inside. Meanwhile The
flames had spread to the compressed
bale covered with jute, and ii, too,
was burning, while the cotton cloth
ed bale above was smoked, and char
red, but would not burn.
As an additional proof Of the IN
tombustible nature ofthe cotton bay
ging, a pan Of burning charr"a. Was
emptied Oh it. Even Tins great de-
gree OF heat did not II it 10 burn.
1t was remarked that wherever
the tests of the bagging naVe been
made they were conducted with
multifold severity, and by parties
who were yigiiiant seekers for flaws.
Bales covered with the Lane MilPs
oagging are now beginning to come
into market, aud the conpresses al
ready occasionally receive them. \
numper are expected on the Illinois
Central to-day, and within "a week
they will arrive in numbers. TheiI
beauty and the facility with which
their marks can be read across the
huge press yards are causing them
to be greatly admired by the cotton
handlars.

An exchange calls attention to the
case Of Miss Rosa Wise, a young gi ri
Of Meridian, Miss, who had FIVE
cents given to her as a joke for a
birthday present, She bought a yard
Of calico with 1t and made q sunbon-
net, which she sold for 40 cents.
This she invested in more calico,
made it up, sold the garments and
rslnyestsd the capital until she had
so. With this she bought potatoes,
planted them, paid for the cultivation
OF her crop, for gathering and cart
ing to town, and made $50 clean pro-
tit. It is TO be hoped Miss Rosa will
not throw all the fat in the fire now,
by spending the $50 for d new fall
bonnet. The chances are that the
}oung men Of her acquaintance
would be more charmed with her
trnn ever, II she did. The less like

parental oppo-ltiou stood in the way
Of a elimination Of his fondest hopes.
In the face of the protest Of Alma $

his attentions until last Monday,
when the enraged father fell upon
him and smOte him hip and thigh.
Wiley and his mother, Josephine,

along to ''see 'ern out" The party
collected at Boyd's store and made
known their trouble to tne Captain,
who grasped the the situation aud
convinced them that q marriage GER
