FLOR THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER.

PEA Nut. N. c., Jan. I, 1888.
In conformity with the Constitu-
ton of the State Farmers Alliance
and Cooperative Union of North
Carolina, | herewith transmit my
monthly report.
On December 18th | organized Pea
Nut Alliance, in Onslow county, with
II. E. King, President J.. NJ. Bishop,
Secretary with II members. This
Alliance is in a prosperous condition ;
accessions almost every meeting.
On December 9th l addressed a
small crowd of farmers in Fender
county, at Barlow's Chapel.
On December 10Th | organized Bur-
gaw Alliance with Ii members. VIM.
NJ. Hand, President, and Robt. I. Dur
ham, Secretary. This Alliance is
composed of some of the best men in
Fender county, and I have no doubt
will succeed. The day was a very
cold one and no ladies were out to
hear me, consequently this Alliance is
all male members.
On December 3lst I addressed a
small but attentive audience at the
Grange Hall, in Fender county. / am
agitating, rather than organizing, and
expect to gather the fruit eventually.
On January I'd, 1888, 1 investigated
Tar Landing Alliance and Southwest
Alliance, in Onslow county, and found
them in good spirit and they mean
down right business. q
There are Alliances in this county
which have, been organized with mer-
chants and lawyers, contrary, of course,
to our Constitution. But these mat
ters will oon be corrected, and then
Onslow will be in a most hopeful con-
dition. Fraternally,
HILL E. KING,
Deputy Organizer.

Mecklenburg County Farmers ALI
ance held it's January meeting on Fri
day the 9th inst, with Beach Cliff ALI
ance, and we are glad to be able to say
that the prospects for the order in this
county r good. 1t seems that most
of our farmers are slow to take hold
of anything now, but if we are slow, |
think we are sure, and the meeting on
the 9Th looked like the Alliance is to
be a power for good in this part of the
State in a short time. We are gain
ing strength at every meeting, and
many Of our members are gray haired
men Of good common S We are
also at work in a way hat will en-
courage our members to feel that we
mean business, and that the Alliance
will help the farmers.
[ hope my brother Alliance men
will allow me to give them a word of
advice, which | think will be a help to
them and the order. Study we'll the
Constitution of the Farmers Alliance,
and the obligation of our order, and
let your words and action, both in
private and public, correspond with
the important lessons taught therein.
Our County Alliance will meet with
Hickory Grove Alliance in April next

being the life and writings of Mrs.

splendidly written and equally we'll

with a beautiful tribute to the no.

tanning and elected a hearty clap

Miss Caldwell, Mrs. Wales, Mr..

remarks about the noble christian

The Election Saturday.

We are convinced that the public
schools have done more for Pulaski
than any other one thing that has
ever occurred. THE CITIZEN is
somewhat responsible for the inau-
garation of the schools. doing what
it thought was best to promote the
interests of Pulaski. We believe
the glowing prophecies made in that
behalf have been more than verified
Rents and values have gone up and
population is crowding in and trade
is increasing. That's what makes
town. The writer lives in a
house that he occupied two years
before the system was adopted. He
pays $40 year more now than
then, and yet the owner of it
against the schools, we believe.
He has right to be. Some of our
best friends are on the other side
but THE CITIZEN makes 1t rule to
advocate what it thinks is right re-
gardless of whether or not it is
popular, and for its sincerity and
consistency it has been compli
mented even by those who differ
with it. It is our opinion that the
schools ought to be sustained anc
glerpetuated and that they will be
We made our fight for them al the
beginning and everybody always
knew where to find US.

days and in addition to the dele
gates, there was large attendance
of farmers from the neigh boriDg

interest in the proceedings. The
meeting was presided over by Presi-

presiding officer, He was promptly

body, and the direotions and dis

creditable to more experienced
bodies. The alliance is just strug.

amongst its members that is an

any farmers organizatioh here

THROUGH A TREsTLE.

ATHENS, ALA, Dec. ga fright
full smash-up occurred this morn
ing in the southern edge of town.
The freight train just ahead of the
accommodation, north bound, went
down through trestlc number 81
which spans small stream known
as Paddy Branch" 1t was said in
hearing of your correspondent that
two previous trains, the early pas
senger and the local. freight, had
passed over it this morning and
both noticed it and sent in tele.
grams to headquarters of its tot
tering condition; and that R. b.
Meadows, supervisor of track, or
dered his section boss to 60 there
and fix it this morning, and him
self left on the north bound pas
senger before seeing his orders car
ried out. Sam. Allen, reliable ne
gro living near there, and who
passed over the trestle in coming
and going home, saw the bad con-
dition of the trestle, and warned q
south bound freight engineer of il
this morning., and after the friend
ly warning the engineer look
ed at him and said: "What il
it, old man, you want a driok?'
But Sam told him mo, that if ht
did, he had money in his poke
to pay for it." But Sam says BIZ
needed the warning enough to rur
very slowly over it. Whether h'
needed it or not, his train passet
safely over, but the next train, run
