THE PROCEEDINGS OF WAKE
COUNTY ALLIANCE.
RALEIGH, April 6, 1888.

RALEIGH, April b, 1883.
i, The Wake County Farmers Ali
ance convened in the hall of the Adams
building, in this city, to-day, and was
called to order at IL o'clock by the
President, ]. D. Allen.
The roll was called and thirty-fve
sub-Alliances were found to be repre-
sented.
The minutes of last meeting were
read and adopted.
The Chair appointed brethren B. B.
Buffaloe, W. II. Utley and A. r.
Hodge a Committee on Credentials.
Resolutions looking to the estab-
lishment of industries of Importance
to the Alliance were introduced and a
lively discussion was provoked, par
ticipated in by brethren G. F. Dowd,
D. P. Meacham, III. T. Jones, j. N.
Hubbard, l.. l.. Polk, J. M. Turner
and others.
The Alliance has perhaps never held
so enthusiastic a meeting. The rapid
progress the. order is making in the
State makes us sanguine of success in
the efforts the Alliance is making for
the benefit of the farmers. The en-
thusiasm was, however, very properly
tempered by conservatism and "slow
but sure" seemed to be the watch
word in i~naugurating new enterprises.
The Finance Committee reported
a balance on hand at the commence
ment of the quarter, of $82.30.
1t is to be regretted that all the
sub-Alliances do not report promptly
and thus enable the Secretary to have
a full and complete report to submit
to the County Alliance at the end of
each quarter. Prompt action in this
respect, on the part of the sub-Alli-
ances, would give satisfaction not only
to the members of the County ALI
ance, but would enable the State ALI
ance, doubtless, to push forward the
work of organizing the State more
rapidly,
The following resolution was offered
by Bro. J. M. Turner and prevailed:
Resozved, That the Secretaries of
sub-Alliances in the county be, and
are hereby instructed, to forward to
the Secretary of County Alliance the
credentials of delegates to County
Alliance one week previous to meet
ing of County Alliance.
Brethren G. H. Clark, J. T. Hunter
and M. @. Chamble were. appointed a
committee on the Good of the Order.
This committee will meet in the
Adams building, in Raleigh, on
April 2lst.
Resolutions in regard to working
the public roads and the fertilizer tax
we're introduced by Bro. Rea, and
after some debate were laid on the
table.
On motion, the Wake County ALI
ance adjourned to meet in Raleigh on
the first Friday in July, 1888, at 10
o'clock a.. m.
w. G. CRowDER, Sec'y.

Will make the Season of 1883 at Raleigh. N. G.,
limited to thirty Mares, at fifty dollars for the
Season. Season, from February list to June 18th,
1888.
Happy Medium 400, the Sire Of Robert Medium
the world. A correspondent of the Spirit Of the
Times saws this of him: "There is no occasion to
mention his greatness as a Sire of T~rotters, as that
fact is already so well known that from coast to
coast his fame has been heralded as one of the
greatest, if not the greatest, living Sire OF 2:3O trot-
ters."
Another test of his greatness and popularity is
the rapidity with which his get are sold and the
prices obtained from December 10th, 1887, to Janu-
airy 23d, 1883. The price obtained for eight of his
colts was S11 $50.
Robert Mediums Dam was the McAuley mare, by
Yankee Tricks, Sire of Dram Maid, 2:37, and
others; her Dam a Bellfounder mare. The McAuley
mare is the Dam of Meta Medium 2:2219, double
team record with Maxey Cobb, 2:15A, and the fast
est public record ever made.
Maxey Cobb Robert's half brother) has the fastest
Stallion record -2:13A-in the world to his credit.
Robert Medium is one of the purest gated, best
broken and fastest horses to be found in the South
ern States; has never appeared in a public race, but
trotted the old track of the North Carolina Agricul-
tural Society in his three year old form In 1888, and
repeated in 2:37; a rate of speed that no horse ever
before accomplished. He is a sure foal-getter and
a most prepOtent Sire. Mares from a distance will
be carefully and economically provided for.
Groom fee $1.OO, to be paid at time of service.
