The anniversary meeting o
. the Sampson County Farmers
Alliance convened in Atkins
( Hall April 9TH, 1889.
AT II o'clock the Eall wa.
: crowded with delegates and Wis
iting brethren from forty-foul
Alliances.
The rap of the Presidents
gavel called the members to
order, and the Alliance proceed
cd to the dispatch Of business
a glance over the hall was
sufficient evidence that the Al
lance men Of Sampson county
had not been asleep for the past
twelve months.
Tie evidence Of our progress
cHn be seen in many WAYS, but
especially can it be seen in our
now perfect organization. Here
tOfOre a great deal of time has
been consumed at our county
meetings in organizing the pro-
perly accredited delegation.
But not 50 at our anniversary
meeting. Every thing worked
smoothly and tremendously :;
and brother Secretaries of the
sub-Alliances | desire to thank
you for the manner in which
you conducted the business of
your snb-Alliances, thereby re-
lieving your President and Sec
rotary Of County Alliance of
such onerous labo".
From a very small beginning
we have grown amazingly strong
until the tenets of the Farmers
Alliance have penetrated into
almost every portion of the
county.
The representatives of forty
Tour Alliances as before stated,
embracing some of the best
men in the county is another
soli1s ii.vf SJ!eM 2H5dgG g. f
i"-IGlty and firmness.
The Committee on the good
OF the order made a most graft
Tying report. We vouchsafe to
say that no committee, for SINH
lar duty in any brotherhood ever
made a more harmonizing re
port. Their lebukes were mild
but effective, with very encour-
aging words of advice.
The Executive Committee
made a very satisfactory report.
They, after much consideration
had elected Bro. G.. ). Clute,
Business Agent, who is pushing
the business Of his office to we'll
nigh perfection, brings to bear
ON the minds of all people, one
Of our notices: CHA the AL
lance IS run strictly on business
principles"
The Secretary's and Treasur-
er's books were found to be cor
rect and in a good condition.
The lecturer was called and
responded in a most happy style.
His lecture was grand, fo'cible,
and instructive to AL. His com
parison of the past aud present
condition nf the people VAS
truly a profitable lesson, bearing
the stamp of a stronger and
more united brotherhood. His
lecture f ON beginning to end
was a success, and fully cOmpen
sated for his absence at all pre-
viOus meetings.

BLUFF.
Alliance men should remem- $
Ter to hold their tongues and s

o outsiders. Remem Der the T
Id adage," what is every body's V
business is nobody's business"
BUSINESS men who have sue T
