WEDNESDAY, July "a.
The receipts of cattle were about an av-

ssting of the ordinary grades. The market
on handy beef and shipping steers was fairly
active and firm, and on common stock slow.
Good fat butcher stock is not very plentiful,
and such offered are selling well, while the
heavy supply of thin, grassy cattle prevents
any Improvement in that direction.

FROM ORANGE COUNTY.
Long Sermon in Few Words.

ORANGE ACADEMY ALLIANCE, No. 1913.
Mr. EDIToR:-Ever since have
been reading your valuable paper
nothing has so much impressed my
mind as the need of Farm Reform.
Whatever may be the condition Of our
country at large, our, farmers cannot
prosper under the existing circum-
stances. Our farmers are not self
supporting under present system of
farming. We need more economi-
cal system, one that will improve our
lands and bring better return for
our labor, we need system that will
make our living and protect us from
the CALLING yoke Of monopoly. We
need that system Of thought and &C
ton that carried our forefathers
through the American Revolution,
independence is the only firm basis
on which the farmer can stand.
Live at home and board at the same
house. Make your own manure dis
pensing with going in debt for fertili-
zer make all the provisions that it is
possible for you to make and let cot
ton and tobacco be a surplus crop.
Plant less and make it better; ditch
your lands and clean up the branches
so as to make two ears Of corn where
one has grown before. These and
other things faithfully followed with
pride will be better for US and if we
can manage these domestic affairs and
our Alliance will blossom like rose
Yes, we must build on what we have,
that is the soil. IT'S but true that we
have been too careless both in farming
and the management Of our business.
How long will our farmers stick to
these crude methods of farming or de-
pend on others to do their business who
study their own interest. It is not
enough for us to make living al
though it is more than some Of us do
make We have as good a right to
move onin the scale of progress as
any other class orprofession. All we
ask, is give us chance and we will
stand on our own merits.
And now good word for The Pro
GREssivE FARMER. / consider it one
of the best agricultural papers in cir
culation and coming as it does to that
class of people who need instruction,
it ought to be in the hands of every
farmer in the State. Yours fraternally.

Mr.. EDToR:-Knowing your deep
interst in all matters pertaining to
our cause, [ take the privilege of drop
ping you few lines in regard to it's
progress in this section of old Vir-
ginia. [ do SO in honor of that good
old Samaritan Captain Lee, of your

ary in the cause but few months ago.
and organized our lodge among many
more, with but 9 charter members;
and we have grown steadily since in
membership until now we number 80
good and true men land ladies). Yes
on our last meeting we admitted four
young ladies, to embell1sh and adorn
and render more attractive our meet
lngs. Our membership embraces the
very best material and most prosper
Gus farmers in the radius of our lodge
territory, and now applications are
coming in every meeting; and what is
better, we have the utmost unanimity
and good will among us-all seeming
to be in dead earnest to do something
to alleviate the condition of the far
mers and their families, and to place
their order on a foundation something
like that of the Alliances Of the old
North State, Georgia and Texas. And
what stronger allies, Mr.. Editor, could
any people wish than those above
named States. Your correspondent
when boy, had the honor Of serving
in the artillery of the Confederacy,
and the still higher honor of being
supported on many occasions by the
troops from all these States, and
know they have "sand in their craws,"
and whatever we undertake conjoint-
ly, is mighty apt to be success. In
the language of our old friend Ben
Ferrell, "the farmers are the mud
sills of the world, " and when we turn
over somebody will feel the shock
The religion Of Jesus Christ is the
only organization that has stood the
test t.of time, and perhaps the next is
Masonry, and now, Mr.. Editor, with
the Holy Bible in one hand, and all
the products Of the earth in the other, we
should at least gain the third place,
but there must be no struggling, no
shirking, every man to his post, and
one year from now the effect will be
wonderful. SLUG 9.

A WORD OF ADMoNITION.

LAUREL, N. c., April Is, '89.
Mr.. EDIToR:-Please give me space
in your paper to say a word to the
brethren. [ cannot know them all,
but it matters not whether they are
young or near the middle of life, with
a fair degree Of health and wise care,
you may have 20 or. 80 years of use
fulness before you. What can you
not accomplish in those years. You
have entered upon a life of infinite
possibilities and of grand opportunities.
God has endowed you with faculties
capable of development, and you are
in an age when true manhood and
efficiency are in great demand, and the
young men of to-day must in few
years stand in all the responsible places
in life. They will be the governors
of families, and they must control all
our institutions They must make
and execute the laws for the protec-
tion and advancement of society. No
thoughtful man can stand at the
threshold of life and see the future
generation rising before him endowed
with Immortality and know that their
destiny will depend in great measure
upon the character of the young men
of the present, without realizing the
necessity of discipline that shall
create well regulated homes and
Christian manhood. Your opportuni-
ties bring great responsibilities. You
are not only responsible for what you
are, but responsible for what you
ought to be. You are not only under
obligations to do all that for. which
you have ability to do, but all for
which you can acquire ability to per-
form. The man who had one talent
was not condemned because he had
no talent, but because he did not ac-
quire another. Of course we can do
no more than we are able to do at any
given time. but if endowed with one
talent, we must gain another, for we
shall be responsible for two in time,
and also for the work of two. All |
great men became great because of
acquired ability. There must be the
natural ability as capital with |
which to start, but men have only
enough natural ability to make be-
ginning, and along the lines of we'll
directed efforts do they day by day
acquire ability for their life-work. The
promise is that we shall have grace
according to the day.
You must have purpose in life,
and the higher you set your mark the
greater will be your achievements.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1889-05-28

is the want of faith in it's officers, mem
bers and its principles Now wake
I'D; throw off that hindrance; don't
even think of il. and let every Sub
Alliance in the State of North Caro-
lima draw some from its treasury, and
besides that let every individual who
possibly can pay 81, any way, if not
more.
Now will close for this time, hoping
that before the beginning of the year
1890 we will have the desired amount,
and I know we will if every member
will do his duty. Let me say to all the
brethren, do the best you can; look
for your neighbor's interest as well as
your own. Let us all work together.
LIT us fight the bagging trust, and
fight it with vim too. We can, we
will, and [ tell you we must come out
victorious or we will forever be trod-
den down. We must fight such men
as buy corn at fifty cents per bushel
and sells for ninety cents to ST per
bushel on time to poor farmer who
cannot help himself. No, thanks be
to God, we don't expect to live under
such bondage forever, and | think the
time is not far distant when we farm
ers of North Carolina will shake hands
with just such merchants.
Well l must close, for tell you [
am not so independent but what some
one might take exceptions at this. |
believe if Col. Polk was farmer and
farming on credit, he would expose
some of these extortioners. No fifty
men in our State has done so much to

NOTE FROM ROCKINGHAM co.
SIMPsoN's STORE, n. c.,
Nav 1S 'S9

Mr.. EDIToR:-Will you kindly allow
us little space in your valuable paper
in which to refer to our Alliance? ? We
have never been heard from through
your columns, but we havenot been idle
We organized August last, with seven
members. and now our membership
numbers up in the ffties, after having
divided four different times. The
majority of our farmers here are en-
thusiastic Alliance men, but here and
there is an old fogy who calls it a
/" money trap" etc; it takes so much
money, you know; and some say it
will bring on war, which, in one sense,
it has already done.
Although we are yet in our infancy,
we are ready and willing to put our
shouhter to the wheel to assist our
brethren in any cause that will bene-
fit the farming class of people.
The farmers should he the freest of
all free men, but in the past years we
have been little more than slaves. But
we are alive to our interests now, and
hope in the future to raise our own
supplies, grow less tobacco and pur-
chase less fertilizer. We see that
there is no money in having our corn
cribs in ST. Louis and our smoke-hou
in Chicago and we are going to move
them home.
Push forward the glorious work.
We long to see the day, and hope it
is not far distant, when the farmer
will stand equal with the merchant,
manufacturers and spectators of the
country. Fraternally,
J. M. B.
