To the subordinate Oranges in
the State that have ceased 10 work
and 10 the members Of the work
ing Granges that have voluntarily
abssnted themselves from their
Oranges, permit me to say to you,
the time has come for you 10 arouse
yourselves from your slumbers.
Many Of you are not dead, but are
undoubtedly asleep. / will give
you the best distinction I know
anything Of between sleep and
death, and you can decide for your
selves what your real condition is.
Sleep is the suspension Of the vol
untAry powers ofman and death is
q suspension of those that are IN
voluntary. Now, whom we lie
down to sleep we voluntarily ex-
cluds the operations Of the Senses
in other words, we see nothing,
hear nothing, feel nothing, smell
nothing, taste nothing and endeav-
or TO think Of nothing-this is as
far as we can go in the matter, for
no man can possibly tell when he
falls asleep, or, in other words,
when an entire suspension of the
voluntary powers Of the body and
mind takes place. While asleep
we know, however, that the sleep
er breathss, his heart beats, his
blood circulates and his digestive
organs are at work. Now, as the
will oftho sleeper has nothing to
do with these matters they depend
upon the involuntary powers of the
human system, and when these
cease death takes place. Now,
Patrons, when you voluntarily sus-
pended your work as members Of
the order, did the principles of
the Grange depart from you? Did
you conclude that the farmers Of
the United States do not need a
National organization based upon
unassailable principles? That the
agriculturalists of the land do not
need the educational advantages
obtainablo in the Grangeg It you
can answer these questions IN the
affirmative you may be numbered
with the dead; bat if you still hold
to the principles Of the order, you
must acknowledge that you are
asleep; that you have voluntarily
suspended your duties while the
principles of the Grange are still at
work in your minds. Then TO
those OfyOu whO'.are not dead, let
me say, wake up and 90 to work.
The order needs your services, the
community in which you live needs
all the advantages thatresult from
the work of good working Gran
ger; the whole country needs them,
for you know that our purpose is
to build up and improve, and not
to pull down those things which
are for the best interest of the en-
tire country. As a means ofarous.
ing you, suggest that you at once
subscribe for the Messenger, and
we will show you that to-day the
Grange is the strongest and most
potent organization of farmers
ever known to the people of this
continent, and that it is growing
in strength at a more satisfactory
rate than at any period in the
twenty-one years Of its existence.

There has been a good weeks
work in building the magic town Of
Miss. last week Monday was cold
and building was stopped to some
extent, but the balance Of the week
was put in for all il was worth.
The ring Of the hammer and the
buzz of the saw we're to be heard
in every point Of the compass,
whilst different surveyors with
their corps of men were in the
field and in the woods laying Of
additional lots which are being
eagerly sought for, and good pri-
ces paid. Some Of the purchasers
were from the enterprising N. ".
Mr.. Milligan has bought a nice
lot so K l4O just west Of the Bur
kitt storehouse, for which he paid
S25O,OO.
Mr.. Pratt & Mastin bought lot
near the school house occupied by
Miss Rosa Ruff, for which they
paid $500. Many others that we
failed to get names, as we have
been busily engaged in building,
painting, working street and etc.
We have put up two buildings since
We wrote you.
We had preaching at tthe school
house on Sunday night which did
not accommodate more than half
who came, and a more attentive
audience l never saw. Rev. w. l..
Gideon preached. We have re-
ceived letters from other promi-
nent divines who propose to preach
for us.
Our town election was had on
the 22nd Feb, when there was
about 800 votes polled, and Mr..
Right was elected Mayor, Mr.. Dill
worth, Mayfeld, Collins and Berry,
we're elected Aldermen, and Beck
worth city clerk, and the Alder
men elected Mr.Singleton Marshal.
Mr.. Collins & - are putting
up a fine two story hotel, just COM
menced.
Webb has his 80 room hotel up
and painted ready to be shingled.
Several buildings going up in
last few days in North Amory.
Mr.. Pratt is putting material on
ground to build him a handsome
cottage near the Burkitt residence.
see men here almost every
day from the extreme northwest,
who were in the cold blizzard last
winter, and they say in substance,
goodbye to the frenzied regions
Of Arizona and Dakota and hail
balmy Seuthland-we come to
you" No wonder they are de-
lighted to see our gugling streams,
as they run over the ground, and
gaze with delight on our immense
forests and feel the balmy sun
shine of Mississippi, when they re-
member they have been living on
the American desert, barren of
wood, destitute of water, that
country which Ingersoll is report
ed as having said, when he was
told by a Western traveller that
the great West would be the finest
country in the world if it only
had water and good society. In
gersoll answered that He'll was the
same kind of a country. As we
have plenty good running water,
plenty of wood, fine society, the
best climate in the world and some
of the best coal mines in the ma
ton that are being opened up each
day, which are about forty miles
east of us, may we not modestly
claim that we have as good a part
Of the earth as the civilized world
knows anything about.

give you q close and accurate ac-
count of the growth of our town.

What the Epicure Knows.

The epicure knows a great many things
about living which commonplace people
ought to learn. How many people know
now to drink beer? Very few. The proper
way TO enjoy a glass Of lager is to gulp
it down quickly before the exhilarating
gas escapes. The epicure will not talk over
his glass, nor will he allow the barkeeper to
fill it by holding the glass far below the
faucet, as in this way you get the foam,
while the carbonic gas escapes Now, wine
should not only be sipp"d slowly and in small
quantities, but also should be smelled while
drinking. The olfactory nerves play q most
important part in the enjoyment of eating
and drinking. Wine has delicious odor,
which makes it far more agreeable to the
thinker if he will only avail himself of the
knowledge of the fact.
The epicure also knows q thing or two
about meats He always chooses the dark
parts of fowl, which have the best flavor
and juices. The white meats he leaves to the
unsophisticated. In eating, too the epicure
understands the value of order, and freely
exercises the ofactory nerves. This can be
done dalntily and without offense to good
breeding or taste. AS to smoking, every
man ought to know that pipe is the most
enjoyable out doors, or on the street, not
outstanding the fashion to the contrary. a
cigar Is best in quiet room, where you have
time to reflect and cross your legs on table
A cigar is generally improved on second
lighting. This business of eating and drink
ing Is more OF science than people are viii

spreading the connection on plate the de

Comfort in Hotel Life.

Hotel life was never more popular in Amer
lea than il is at present. the prejudice that
'home comfort was antagonistic to hotel
principles is now a relic of the past. 1t has
been proved that as much retirement, as
much independence, is to he found under the
roof of the largest hostelry as in the abodes
where single families are supposed to dwell in
peace and quietness. 1t depends wholly on
the individual, whether it is to be a narrow
surface existence, or the ''intime" freedom
reserved for those who know how to live
But every year develops the American capa
city for getting the best out of life, and in
this very hotel patronage, which is national
characteristic, it has shown exceedingly good
Judgment. Some time hence this country
