The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1888-11-27

seventh pages OF our paper TO the exclusive Use OF
the Alliance. Use them, brethren. For all official
orders, rulings, notices, &C., the brethren will ex-
anime these pages.1
Remember the County Alliance
of Wake meets in this city on next
Friday, the both.
The farmers around Burlington
are anxious to organize an Alliance.
Will Bro. J. P. Kerr or Bro. J. NJ.
Cooke attend to them?
The farmers of Orange are calling
for organizers. Bro. L. j. Oldham
and w. H. Morris have just been com
missioned. Command them, gentle
men. They will serve you.
There will be an important meet
ing of the Farmers Alliance of Per
son county held IN Roxboro on Satur-
day, December LIST. Every member
of the Alliance in Person county is
earnestly requested to attend.
Bro. M. J. Green, of Rutherford
county, writing US says the Alliance
is moving grandly forward in his
county and that we may look for a
large increase in our circulation in that
section. That's right If the brethren
would keep up with the procession
they must read their organ.
Bro. J. A. Fisher, of Salisbury,
sends a list and says he cannot do
without the paper. He wants to see it
prosper and strengthen and grow. We
are glad to see that his Alliance will
meet on the first proximo, to arrange
for building a hall. Every Alliance
should have a hall of its own, if it be
able to build it.
Bro. B. F. Benton, of Haywood
Alliance sends US a list of subscribers
and shows that he is beginning to see
the true situation when he says that
$50 long as our government fos-
tiers and maintains a financial system
through which the farmers of the land
are forced to pay Is to 25 per cent for
the use of money, just so long may we
expect to grow poorer"
Quite a number of Alliances have
ordered seals through this Office. The
orders we're forwarded promptly, but
the houses notify us that they are be-
hind with orders and will catch up as
soon as possible. This in answer to
numerous enquiries. We can have
the seals made now in Raleigh. Write
to E. Fasnach or H. Mailer, Raleigh,
and send $40 with order.
Brethren Neal and Henderson, in
charge of the Alliance Cotton Ware
house in the city of Charlotte, write
us that our quotations of last week OF
their market were wrong-that we
quoted it too lou. Glad these vigilant
and efficient agents detected the error
and we shall hereafter have reliable
reports from that large and active
market, for we have made arrange
ments that will secure them.
Bro. R. A. Patterson sends a list
and says he has interested himself to
induce the brethren to read our paper
as it stimulates enquiry and keeps
them informed as to onr work, its OBJ
jects, &C., and thereby enlist their &C
ton, sympathy and cooperation. This
is the correct view of the work to be
done and our brethren are beginning
to realize it. Circulate your paper If
you wish to arouse the farmers.
Corresponding Secretary, H. E.
Peterson, of Laurel Hill Alliance, 653,
sends for publication the following
resolution, which was adopted at their
last regular meeting: " RESOLVED, That
the State and National Alliances be
requested to strive to establish direct
trade with Europe; and second, that
we will %patronize and encourage
Southern manufactures, and ask our
merchants to cooperate with US in SO
doing"
The State Business Agent re-
quests that all County and Sub Bust
ness Agents that have not already re-
ported to him, will do s. at once, giving
the name of the agent, his county and
the name and number of the Alliance
to which he belongs, and his p%ostoffice
address. The amount of the bond Of
any agent will be determined by the
Executive Committee of his Alliance,
and they must approve the same.
Blank bonds, if desired, will be fur
nished by the State Business Agent,
on application to him for the same.
Miss Kate Herring, Secretary of
White Oak Alliance, No. 333, Samp-
o county, writes US a most pleasant
letter in regard to her Alliance. It
