I'VE regret TO announce that Mrs.
Eliza Walker, a most estimable lady,
departed this life, near Byrdsville,
Columbus county, on the 18th day Of
September last. She was a consistent
member of Cheerful Hope Baptist
Church for many years, and was a de-
vout christian. She was also a mem
Der of Cheerful Hope Farmers Ali
ance and was loved and respected by
all who knew her for her many rare
qualities of head and heart. Her Ali
ance passed a suitable tribute of res
pect to her memory which was given
a page in the minute book of the Lodge.
Cor. Secretary, A. P. Gates, of
No. 643, says: "Our Lodge is in good
working order, though some of the
brethren are timid as yet, but l think
they will soon get right. Times are
very hard, crops are light and money
is scarce; therefore we have not done
as much for the Business Agency as
we would like to do, though we are in
full sympathy with all the great move
ments of the Alliance. We oppose
all trusts and indorse every effort that
is being made for the advancement of
the farmers interest. We endorse
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER and it's
editor. May they be a tower of
strength in this land"
