and one, in-passing his premises, needs
only to cast the eye v his well Gull
tivated fields to observe the result Of
energy and scientific skill: -Mr-John
A. Cameron, who was chosen Secre-
tary, is an industrious, systematic and
thrifty farmer, strictly a business man,
than whom none will discharge the
duties of the Office, to which he is
elected, better. DIR. S. A. Williams,
who was chosen Lecturer, is one of
the finest speakers in the county. In
spirit and eloquence not surpassed by
any; takes hold Of nothing involving
the interest of the farmer with a slack
hand.
I would speak of other members of
this Alliance, Mr.. Editor, equally
worthy, if I knew you would allow
me space. You will allow me to say
this much, however, in conclusion:
You may expect, and look out, for, a
large list of subscribers from Fork
Alliance, to your most excellent advo-
cate of farmers interests, The Pro
GREssIvE FARMER.
Yours fraternally,

A GRAND BASKET Pic N1c.-Auburn
Alliance, No. Al, cordially invites every
body, and especially all the members of
the Farmers Alliance in Wake and adj
joining counties, to join them on the 10Th
inst, at johnson & BARRIERS Grove, near
Auburn, in a grand basket pic mic. They
want the married men to bring their
families and the unmarried men to bring
their sweet little sweethearts and every
one Of them to bring a basket filled with
good things to eat Remember it is a
basket pic mic and everybody is expected
to help who can. They are b~ig-hearted
and hospitable, but a tremendous crowd
is expected, and they are right in asking
all to bring their baskets. Good speak
ers, a good dinner and a good time gen
orally is in store for all who may attend.
Let the Alliance men and women make
the occasion worthy Of their order.

the National Alliance, stating that: he
has secured reduced rates for all dele

sippi River. The meeting will be held
in Meridian, Mississippi, on the second
Wednesday in October. The rates
will be one and one-third of regular

THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER, AUGUST H,1s88.

We learn with pleasure hat Col.
Paul G. Cameron has instructed Mr.. Geo.
B. Hiss, Manager for the firm of Messrs.
Van Gunden & Young, of this city, to
grade the sidewalk and erect q stone re-
taining-wall, with dressed stone coping,
along the entire Hillsboro street front of
the st. Mary's School property, a dis
lance, probably, of four hundred yards.
This is but another of the Colonels many
generous donations to this worthy insti-
tuition Of learning, and will be no less ap-
preciated by the many citizens who use
this thoroughfare than by the more i'm
mediate friends and patrons of the insti-
tuition.
The Scotland Neck Democrat finds
this paragraph in an exchange in ref
erence to It's own town: "Np
town can thrive and prosper with its
streets filed with Ioafers. : Look at our
streets almost any day in the week and
you will find them. filled with a noisy,
h~alf-clothed mob of l~oafers, whose only
occupation appears to be to sit around
bar-rooms and cheat" the passers by out
of "set-ups." Let the authorities drive
them out of town or make them go to
work, and we guarantee our citizens will
not wake up so often Of a morning and
find their pantries so destitute Of grocer
les that there isn't enough left for break
fast" .. -
elsewhere we print a large, double
column advertisement of the live, ener-
getic and popular dry goods firm of
Messrs. Norris & Carter, and we advise
our readers to examine it carefully before
placing their orders. These gentlemen,
who thoroughly understand the business
in which they are engaged, knowing well
how to buy and how to sell, handle i'm
mense quantities Of goods. In fact, their
sales are so immense and rapid that it is
next to impossible to get an old or shop
worn article at their establishment. They
will not carry over stock from one season
to another, and you will see from their
ad. that they avoid it by making what
they call especial Reduction Rates. and
close out unreasonable goods "Regard-
less of price," And another thing which
commends this excellent firm is that
while they are extensive advertisers they
use no "cant" or catch-penny phrases to
deceive, but are ready at all times to
verify every statement they make, 1t
affords us real pleasure to recommend
this firm to the six thousand readers of

Col, L. L. PoLK.-Dear .Ssr:-It is
again my privilege and pleasure to in
form you that the good work of organ
Aing the farmers of Warren county
into Alliances is still going on, and it
now appears that within a short time
there will be a sufficient number Of
sub-Alliances in the county to carry
on the Alliance work to perfection,
within her territorial limits. On last
Wednesday, Aug. lst, I had the
pleasure of organizing an Alliance at
Fork Institute, in Fork, with "a mem
bers.
AS regards intelligence, active in
dustry and progressiveness, this ALI
lance is scarcely to be equalled by any
other in the county. 1t is composed
of men who act from principle, after
deliberate thought and not from i'm
pulse. They have been a little slow
to fall into ranks, but being now en-
rolled and equipped, they are ready
for service, and will doubtless soon be
heard from to the good and credit OF
the order, which they have espoused.
Mr.. John Graham, who was chosen
President, though a professional
teacher, and is now Principal of Fork
Institute, one of the best academical
schools in the. State, well deserving
extensive patronage, is also a farmer

A HOME!
Building Lots Only SIS Each F!

The undersigned takes this method of informing
the public that he is prepared to sell building lots at
Asbury, N. c., only six miles from the city OF Raj
eigh, on the North Carolina and the Raleigh & Au-
gusta Railroads. Persons who take advantage of
this opportunity and build at Asbury, will have
the benefits and advantages of the city without any
of it's expenses. The trains On both roads, going
East and West, make regular stoppages, morning
and evening, and it is only a matter of ten or fifteen
minutes ride between the two stations. The lots,
which are 80 feet front by 20 feet deep, are sold at
