Bro. B.. y. MCLAUGHLIN, writing
from Montpelier, N. c., says: "The
good people of this section r begin
ming to see the merits of the Alliance.
We now have twenty-four members /
and will initiate others at the next
meeting. In a short time. every man
in this county who is eligible will be a
member.
eve can boast of having the Oldest
temperance society in the United
States. They will soon replenish their.
library, which was destroyed by Sher-
mans vandals in '65. We have also
one Of the finest schools in the State,
under the supervision of that estima-
bic gentleman and experienced teach
er, Maj. Isaac R. Mclean. The health
Of the section is unsurpassed, and on ,
the grounds stands the old Baptist
church, which has existed since the
first Scotch settlers came to this coun-
try, and the venerable Rev. John
Monroe has been going in and out BEL .
fore this people for. more than half d !
century, without a jar in his religious !
household. You may plainly see that
we look to everything good and NOR
al, and that the Alliance, which is a
hand-maiden in good works, will sue
coed here" ~.

here to organize Farmers Alliance,

ling Alliances at White Oak, Center,
:Turnbun, Tar@Heel, Frank Davis and
at some other points on the easrtgsiide of

benefit the farmers of the county Or
.ganization a benefit the farmers ip

advert to in a short editorial"
