THE ALLIANCE EXCHANGE.

At the call meeting Of the State Al
lance in February plan was form
ulated for establishing what is to be-
known as the Alliance Exchange Of
Mississippi. The plan is this: A
capital stock of $4,000 is to be raised
ftom the county and sub Alliances of
the State, which will he devided in
to fifteen equal part to constitute the
capital held by fifteen stock -holders
who We're elected at the State Ali
ance These fifteen stock holders
were chosen, two from each congress
ional district and one from the state
ut large and they form what might be
called Board of Directors, ,oneof their
number acting as President. Subor-
dinate and acting under the direc-
tions Of this Board is Il State agent,
who will have immediate control Of
the business of the State transacted
through the Exchange. Then, sub
ordinate to the State agent will be a
county agent for each county through
whom the Alliance can transact bus
mess with the State agent.
The value of a share in the En-
change is ten dollars, aud besides
county and sab Alliances individual
members may be stock holders. A.
above stated the capital stock which
1t is desired to raise, is $2I0, ,000 but
the Exchange will be put in opera
ton when one tenth or $25 900 of this
amount is raised.
The object Of the Exchange, briefly
stated, is TO carry ont the first priuci-
pies of the order, that is, to bring the
farmer in more direct relation with
the manufacturer. This is done by
having single man through whom
to deal, 70 be more explicit we will
use all Illustration. Suppose the Ex.
change established then the produce
of the farmer is delivered into the
hands of the county agent, who sells
it directly to the manufacturer or
consumer and through this agent
they, the FARMERS, buy their goods,
thus saving the per cent now going
into the hands of what are termed
"middle men,
Perhaps the reader arrives at the
conclusion that the Exchange can
only be used in cash transactions
Not so. A credit business can be
carried on jnst as easily az at pres
ent with the home merchant. In
the credit traHe is where the great |
est advantage is gained as any one
can readily see by rejecting a mo-
meut. Those who buy on credit can
place in the hands of the county
agent security sufficient to enable
him to purchase at Il small per cent
on the cash price or to borrow money
at II low rate.-Kosciusko Star.

The cows of u Geogia farmer got

destroyed about ten bushels of peas.
Thereupon the latter farmer present.
ed an account claiming SO for ten
bushels of peas ut sixty cents per
bushel. The owner Of the cows ex-
amined the account and then said:
"i;ook here, my cows ate up ten
bushels of your peas, but you know
the rules In gathering peas is to give
one-half for the gathering. So you
see my cows were entitled to five
bushels of those peas for picking
them. Therefore, only owe you

The foundation for bad teeth il gem
orally laid in early childhood; for
numberless mothers and nurses very
carefully soften the food or remove
The crust from the bread before Civ
ing it to the little folks, because it
may otherwise "hurt their teeth, land
so the child grows up with set of
unused organs in its mouth; and
when We have finally succeeded by
the creation of artificial conditions
in producing weak organs, then we
wonder why the poor child has such
bad teeth, and why il is 50 often
suffering with toOthache, and why
the dentists bill is so high. Teeth
are organs specialized to perform the
work Of mastication they are subject
to the same laws that govern other
organs, and their strength is detcrm-
ined by their use. Understanding
this, we are obliged to admit that, if
we ever become II t0Othless race. it
will be our own fault.

After some two months Labor the dGr-

about getting meney to "run' him

vain, and later in the day he reported
to the darkey who CAME in with HIM
that it was "no go.n After ponder
ing q while the darkey was hear to
remark the he could do better than
that, and was soon vending his way

and other groceries. The farmer,
seeing the darkey's success, was

THROUGH liie's vapors dimly seeing,

Othe feverish dream Of beingi
When, q, when shall we awake?
O the hour when this material
Shall have vanished as a cloud,
When amid the wide ethereal
All the invisible shall crowd,-
And the naked soul, surrounded
With realities unknown,
Triumphs in the view unbounded,
Feel herself with God alone!
In that sudden, strange transition,
by what new aud finer sense
Shall she grasp the mighty vision,
And receive its influence?
Angles, guard the new immortal,
Through the mountaineering space,
To the everlasting portal.
To the spirits restlng-place.
Till the trump, which shakes creation,
Through the circling heavens shall roll,
Till the day of consummation,
Till the bridal of the soul.

Can trust an angels care?

Beam around my spirit there.
Blessed fold no foe can enter;
And no friend departeth thence;
Jesus is the sun, their centre,
And the shield Omnipotence.
Blessed for the Lamb shall feed them,
All their tears shall wipe away,

Till fruition's perfect day.

becomes radical. While men differ
