csrelessness or an oversight with the COM
positor, caused the omission Of one word in
the rule that We gave last week for dividing
the plank that completely reverses our
meaning. We should have said, "take half
the sums Of the squares Of the ends" etc.
We make this correction that those who
may have discovered the error may like.
wise have our explanation of il. We will
further say that the answer to the question
oftwo weeks ago is one cubicinch.
Those who have expressed Q fear that the
winter is too mild for . good crop to follow,
may take down those fears. 1t isn't too
late yet. The present spell may make up .
good deal of lost time in that direction.
The alliance" is beginning to move
things. understand that they are order
ing oats, -four and corn, at rates much
cheaper than through the regular channels
Of trade. May they prosper and come
out right in the end, is the wish Of those
who are not members; and even tho reliable
merchants will give any success they may
have in bettering their position, hearty
"a men,"
The rates at which they are getting their
supple. through the Alliance is not known
to us, and if known it wouldn't do to make
them public, though find that some Of the
"outs" pretend to know q great deal Of what
the sins" are doing; it isn't the case with
US though.
Some people can't keep secret, and
many of that stripe will, no doubt, drop into
the Alliance too.
As an ignorant backwoods newspaper re-
porter, we, perhaps might take the liberty
to soy IN regar to the good work the Al
lance has so nobly begun, that if the Jews
ever expect 10 cvapgelize tho world, they
must begin at Jerusalem and if the far
msrs ever expect to accomplish what
believe the majority of them are working for,
they must commence at home. Those peo-
pie who cit around country stores and whit
tie away their time talking of high prices
and hard times, brought on by merchants
and monied men, don't see themselves a.
other people do. They must remember that
if their time is their only capital that tha.
capital must be employed, or ell lost time
placed on the debit side of their account
with themselves. The wide-awako, pro-
| gressive, determined men who are the head
and foot of the Alliance emit afford to
take such dead weight into heir brother
hood 1t will kill it to- lead to skin.
Therefore, some of the main qualifications
should be, mans energy, thrift and perse'
verance. When these virtues begin to re.
lax he becomes u Jonah in the ship and
should be tossed overboerd at once. The
Alliance would then be what it is intended
to be-a protection to the farmer as we'll as
the wife and children who have a lazy, in
doent husband and father to keep up.
Every ether industry and profession would
| taen do homage to the man who, merely
for want of system, has been q football
from time immemorial-the farmer.
MIR. r. b. Lemaster and Mss Mollic Nc
Kown were married last week. They have
the congratulations of their many friends.
The new moon in February is Mr.. "Msck"
| Dorman's time to get out wagon timber.
We don't know what he will do this year,
| as there's no new moon next month. You'll
not mead wagon timber the next time this

We regret to say that last week Mr.. A.
W. Lotsprch, of Sunnysidc, was sum-
| moned by telegraph t. the bedside Of his
very sick daughter. in Greene County,
! Tenn, his former home.
Mr.. Mason Garner, who recently went
from this section to Clifton Factory, we are
sorry to learn, has lost two of his children
| from measles.
A. and B. borrowed S175, due one year
| hence, with interest at 10 per cent. The
| interest was taken in advance from the face
of the note. Of the sum left, A. took $50
and b. the remainder. At settlement what
part cf the interest should each pay? An
