The Alliance was largely attended,
and by many of the most prominent
and influential citizens Of the county.
It was a representative body of men,
each of whom seemed interested in
the success of the alliance. With
such bright beginning the alliance
must prove successful. There are
now twelve sub-alliances, and pros
pect of several more.

the general workings and purposes Of
the order. He promised to send US

time of going to press it has not yet
come to hand. If he sends it we will
publish it next week.
