THE ORDER IN ONSLOW.

HIGHLANDS, May G, 1889.
ME-. EDIToR:-A brother of Adams
School House Alliance, No. l79,
under above date, writes as follows:
The Alliance spirit has been slow for
the past few months in this county
owing to the slanderous reports of
those who are enemies to the order.
Those men within the limits of North
CARDINAL will not say in what
Countrywide have done everything
they could to iniure the Allia:1ce. OF
these I only have to say, "The
Lord reward them according to their
deeds" The Alliances of this county,
however, are getting W their leth-
argic state and are going to work in
real earnest. At the last meeting
every member of the Alliance voted
to appropriate funds to the amount of
fifteen dollars to the State Business
Agency Fund. The following was in
troduced, discussed and unanimously
adopted:
. WHEREAS, There is a combination
now known as the jute bagging trust
which proposes to control the entire
trade of jute bagging at the expense
of the cotton grower; and, whereas,
we think such combination injurious
and unjust to the farmers of the
country; therefore be it
Resolved, That we will do every.
thing in our power to resist it; and
we do further promise to stand by the
National Alliance in whatever it sees
proper to do.

IMPORTANT TO ALLIANCES.

We have received numerous enquiries
from Alliances as to how they should pro-
coed to avail themselves of the advantages
offered by our Act of Incorporation-what
is necessary on the part of an Alliance 10
do in the premises. We submitted these
questions to our Attorney of the Execu-
tive Committee Of the State Alliance and
give his answer as follows:
The action of the officers Of any County
Alliance or Surveillance as prescribed IN
section eleven of the Act Of IncorpoIa-
ton, coupled with any overt act or reso-
luton of any Alliance recognizing or
adopting such action Of its officers is quite
sufficient in law to constitute such Alliance
a BODY polite and corporate under the
Act, without other tormalitieS. But in
order not to leave this matter oren for
CONSERVATION, it is proper for each Alll-
ance to assemble with its officers, after
such their action as is prescribed in sec
ton eleven, and by resolution accept and
adopt SAID a 1T as it's charter of incorpora-
ton. A sufficient formula for this pur-
pose is:
Resolved, That Alliance, No. -,
hereby accepts and adopts the Act OF AS
semblv entitled IAN Act to incorporate
the Farmers State Alliance of North
Carolina and Sub-AllianceS," as its char
ter of incorporation, and the Constitution,
BYLAWS, Rules and Regulations which
may be prescribed by the properly con-
stituted authorities hereunder.
Thus, our Attorney mikes it plain that
we nave only to pass a resolution in the
above form, a copy of which should be
entered on the records of the Alliance
adopting it aud a duplicate, signed by the
Secretary and President, should be sent
to the State Secretary of the Alliance for
file in his Office. We are gratiied to pub
lish this in answer TO many inquiries and
for the information Of the brethren gen.
orally.

BOILS.

Some people think that boils are a
special affection of Providence, but we d.
not Imagine that Providence has anything
to do about it. They are the result of
an ob$t, uction in a small blOod-veSsel.
Maybe the sufferer has been eating too
much fat, greasy food-fried foods, but
ter, rich cakes and pies-and in conse-
quence there has come to be too much
through the veines in small globules, anG
if too plentiful they get into The small
blood-yessels and block up the capilla:ies.
In this way clots are formed, and blood
stagnateS, and for some distance around,
the circulation l. interfe red with, and the
tissues die, because they are not supplied
with new, fresh blood. Nature wants to
get rid of these dead TISSUES, and so she
goes to work to separate the dead from
the living. She fills in around the clot
with pus or matter, and by it breaks open
at the top, and the core is pushed out
from the center. In this core is the clot
which began the disturbance, though it
may not be as large as the. point of a pin.
,Boils are due to a clogging Of the sys-
tenn, and are generally produced by agross
diet. Assesses in the liver and other alb
s~:esses, originate in the same n AS
to the ere, we do not want to cure a boil,
for the body is trying to throw off some
effete matter, and what we should do is to
render assistance in the effort. The foul
matter is all contained in the core, and the
great quantity Of offensive matter which
is formed around it, was blood corpuscles
in the start. Nature makes a tester
around a silver for the same reason that
she does around this tiny blood clot; the
matter a~ccumulates around the silver, un-
til by and by it is f forced out. A felon is
simply a deep-seated boil. A bruise will
sometimes produce a boil underneath the
thick tissues and teudons; suppulation
takes place, and then we have a felon.
The only proper thing to do is to encour-
way we can sometimes abort a boil, and
stimulate absorption so that the effete
matter will be carried off without great
sufering.-Good Health.

A PLUCKY
Daring Feat of a Beauty of the
California Foothills.

Near Forest Ranch, in the mountains
above Chico, resides a young lady who
for grit and pluck we'll take off our hat
to every time. The lady in question,
Miss Kate Lucas, resides on a noun
tain ranch with her mother and broth
ers, the latter being engaged in furnish
ing the meat used by the large lumber
crews high up the Sierras. Miss Lucas
is a tall, 1.-THE and we'll built girl, with
red, rosy cheeks, jet black hair, bright,
flashing eyes, and is the acknowledged
belle of that vicinity. She is an in
trep1d horsewoman, and rides fearlessly
and alone over the mountain slopes and
through the ravines. She scorns a sad
die and at times rides a fiery mustang
without either bride or blanket, simply
using a lariat, the end tied around her
horses head and neck. She is q CAPT.
tai shot with the rifle and has worsted
many of the crack shots there by her
unerring aim. She has been out with
her brother hunting, aud very rarely
fails to bag a deer or other wild animals
which sc abound in that section. Some
times the young miss assists in captur-
ing the wild cattle when they are re-
quired for the market, and then the
lariat is twirled with a precision that
often puts the vaqueros to shame.
A few weeks ago after a daring ride
a particularly wild and feet-foot-
ed steer, which showed fight from the
start, the young lady laughed at the
vaquero who seemed to be afraid of the
animal, and smilingly challenged him
to throw a rope over the animals
head and ride him. The vaquero de-
with thanks. Miss Lucas then
displayed a piece of courage and dar-
ing worthy of the ancient Roman arena.

A MILE o A KISS.

One of the prettiest girls on Second
street offered to kiss a married man if
he would run one mile and swim across
the Ocmulgee. AS the said married
man had not kissed a pretty girl in
twenty years. he agreed to carry out
his part of the performance. Accord
ingly he repaired to the park and made
the circuit of the mile in just II minutes.
He then proceeded to the Ocmulgee,
divested himself of raiment and plunged
into the muddy stream, leaving his
clothes on the bank until his return.
Now here is where the fun comes in.
While he was on his return trip, some
miscreant took his clothes and umbrella.
It was. early in the day, and as no one
was near he could not procure another
suit. His only vas to secret
himself in the bushes until nightfall,
and then try to get home without de-
lection. In this he succeeded, and
now he awaits the sweetest kiss that
lovely lips a bestow. Telegraph.

THE TRUST A BENEFIT.

EDITOR FARMER.-Deor Sir There
seems to be a great revolution taking
place among our people, as there is a
determination on their part to plant
less cotton and raise more hog and
hominy at home. The organization
of Sub-Alliances in this county has
had a tendency to bring our people
together in a better understanding 81
the great needs of this section; hence
they have gone to work to recover
what has been lost by neglect and ex-
travagance. There is less guano be-
ing bought than formerly, and this
has been brought about mainly by the
manufacturers forming a trust and
causing an advance in prices. Every
effort on the part Of ~monopolies to
crush the South by the formation Of
trusts has a greater tendency to WORK
out the salvation of our people than
anything else. It causes them to de
pend more on their own resources
Although it is a little burdensome at
first, as in case of the bagging trust,
by and by we will raise our heads and
assert our rights and proclaim, we
are monarch of all we survey, our
rights none dare to dispute"
In conclusion, l wish to say the
Alliance is already doing good here,
having made arrangements with some
of our merchants whereby they are
enabled to buy goods cheaper. Our
Alliance (Terabinth) is the banner

g Scotch River Pearls"

Numerous items have recently appeared
in the press concerning the pearls of the
Sugar river, Wisconsin, which have not
all been without foundation, since some
parcels have been sent TO New York
which were worth from a few dollars to
over 81, 900 parcel. To many who have
read these accounts it may be interesting
to know that, in the last twenty years,
more than 100000 worth of pearls have
been found in the United States in that
family of mollusks known as ''unios" or
fresh water mussels, the same that
abounded one time in the rivers of Scot
land. 1t was from pearls found in this
kind of shells that the name Of Scotch
River Pearls" was taken. Ii was the fame
of these which the historian Suetonius
says induced Cesar to send his army to
Great Britain, and it was with the pearls
which they secured that he had buekler
made which he presented to the temple of
Venus Genetrix.
