A LINE FROM CARY.

CARY ALLIANCE, No. 68, July II, '89.
Mr.. ED1ToR:-W With your permis
sion I would like to occupy small
space, informing the brethren that we
are not dead, although we have been
silent, but are wide awake and are
taking hold of our noble cause in
earnest, feeling that it is our only
hope. Although we are small in
number, we think we have some true
Alliance men who are in full SYM
pathy with the cause. We have not
passed many resolutions, but are try
ing to adhere to those we have
passed. We fully endorse the action.
of the Birmingham conference as to
cotton bagging, and are also in favor
of the consolidation of the Alliance,
Union and Wheel.
At our last meeting we adopted the
following resolutions, unanimously.
Resolved, That Cary Alliance, No.
68, of Wake county, North Carolina
hereby accepts and adopts the act of
the assembly entitled Aa Act to In
corporate the Farmers State Alliance
of North Carolina and Sub Alliance,
as its charter Of incorporation and the
constitution, by laws, rules and regu-
lations, which may be prescribed by
properly constituted authorities there.
under.
Resolved, That we, the Cary ALI
ance, will not use any other bagging
but cotton bagging to bale our cotton
nor patronize any ginner who uses
any other kind
Our Alliance being weak financially
we have not raised anything for the
business agency fund, but will by the
fall.
Our Alliance meets twice a month.
We have some able speeches from
some of our influential members at
each meeting, which are interesting
and instructive For fear I may be
tedious I will close. Much success to
you and to The PROGRESSIVE FARMER,
also the noble cause which it is work
ing for.
Yours fraternally,

other papers for the good of the ALI

members to take it, and together
with mine, / inclose money for them.
| hope and think can get more after
awhile. Money is very scarce in our
section and our crops have been seri.
ously damaged by the excessive rains
which have been falling for the past
two weeks. Three weeks ago our
farmers were highly elated mt the crop
prospects and were working with a
will and determination which I have
not seen equaled since I have been a
citizen of this county. Notwithstand-
ing. the cry of the blood suckers of
the county that the farmers do not
work enough, l can say that our
farmers, unmindful of and unheeding
the cry, are bending to their work
manfully, looking forward to q brighter
day in store for them and their
families.
With firm trust in Almighty
God, [ hope, sir, that our farmers
may be relieved of the burdens which
have been so oppressive. Our ALI
ance is yet in its infancy but we hope
ere long to be able to contribute our
share to the business agency fund.
/ hope, sir, that your list of good
subscribers will increase and help YOU
to make The PROGRESSIVE FARMER q
medium by which the farmers of our
country may be led into the paths of
truth, virtue and temperance and pre-
pare them for q brighter home above.

We have some as good and faithful

EDITOR FARMER: Having seen moth
ing in your valuable paper concerning
Wakefield Alliance, No. 272, and the
members soliciting me to correspond,
/ will write few lines to let you and
others know that we are yet alive and
at work. Last years bad crops caused
this part of Wake county to be in bad
financial circumstances. Some. have
to go on time, others badly cramped,
and but few have any money. But
we propose to strain point and con-
tribute some to the Business Agency
Fund At our last meeting we pre-
sented our Business Agent with The
PRoGREss1vE FARMER and National
Economist; also our Secretary with THE
PROGRESSIVE FARMER, and contributed
one dollar to our brother In Franklin
county who lost SO much by fire. At
our last meeting were installed the
following officers: w. /. Hardesty,
President; Meetings., Vice President;
Robert Pelly, Asst. Doorkeeper. The
other officers were reelected The
farmers are in some trouble about the
damage the recent rains have done to-
thecrops. But with seasonable showers
/ think the damage will not be so bad
as was thought by most of u.s. Up
to yesterday (the 18th inst.) the land
was getting very hard; impossible to
plow in some places But the Lord
blessed us with nice rain and the
prospect for crop is brighter. For

THE ORDER IN CLEVELAND.

FIRST BROAD ALLIANCE, No. 975.
Nh. EDIToR:-I will endeavor to
give you few dots from Cleve-
land. Our Alliance has been organ.
lied near a year, and is progressing
finely. We have 45 members and
have dimited several. Our members
are taking considerable interest in the
Alliance, and they are enthusiastic in
its praise.
1t is conceded by all except the
merchants that the Alliance has great
| ly benefited the farmers and working
classes of Cleveland county While
we think it bad policy to buy sup
plies on time, yet some are compelled
to do SO, and our "trade house" ar
rangement is q considerable improve
ment on last year. The Shelby Aurora
speaking of our sttrade house says:
" Last year our farmers payed IS
cents cash for corn; on time, $1.10.
This year, 20 cents cash, 80 cents on
time. Last year bacon sold for l24
cents on time, this year s cents or
i cents cash. The brethren are in
favor of using cotton bagging to wrap
their cotton in.
$500 has been subscribed to the
business agency fund to be paid Nov.
1st, 1889, which amount is sure, be.
sides $1,000 that has been sent in
heretofore.
Weexpect to have public installa.
tion of officers at our next regular
meeting, and aspeaker will be secured
for the occasion. A nice time is an
ticipated.
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER is vel
come visitor among us, and [ hoIe
the time will soon come when every
member of the Alliance will be sub
scriber.
It affords me the greatest pleasure
to read the letters from brethren all
over the State, and the most of them
are encouraging, and all are instruc-
tive
Just here I would like to ask of
"Fogy" or some one else something
about Bermuda or wire gras; is it
adapted to the western portion of the
State. Can the seed be obtained, and
if SO, where?
The wheat crop is very good. Oats
are sorry. Growing crops are looking
fine. We are now having plenty of
rain, perhaps more than the. farmers
want, on account of the grass. Breth-
rem, let US have more of your
articles on clover and grasses. We
are young students up here and
want to learn all about it that we
can.
Mr.. Editor, say all you can to en-.
courage the brotherhood in the.cotton

fore night.

the last few days had been growing
warmer and warmer, and they were now
near the twentieth parallel of north lati-
tude, and about on the sixty-sixth me-
ridian west from Greenwich. Since
passing between Hatteras and the Ber-
mudas they had had fair weather, with
light airs between the south and east.
But today there had been no breeze
whatever, and the heat had been OPP
pressive. The surface of the sea looked
oily, and lay quite fiat, without any per-
ceptibIe heave or swell. Masses of drift
weed were passed occasionally, strung
out in long lengths, as if drawn by in
visible currents. Sometimes cocoanut or
an orange would float past, silent herslds
of the islands near at hand. The course
the steamer was steering was taking her
toward the group of little islands be-
tween the greater and lesser Antilles, of
which st. Thomas is one. 1t was there
that they were to make their first land
ing.
The officer had pointed toward the
southwest, or few points off the star
board bow. Percy could see nothing re-
markable there; but Valentine, who was
familiar with the sea, at once fixed his
eyes upon small dark cloud, low down
on the water, the popularity CT which
was that it changed its shape with great
rapidity, and without any apparent
cause. One moment it looked like a
hand, with the fingers extended; then it
was like hat, the crown of which grew
larger and larger until it presented the
aspect of pointed foolscap. Then the
cap suddenly inverted itself, and stood
on its apex; then the foolscap divided
down the center, and took the form of a
huge bird with wings pointed upwards.
THAT is rather odd," muttered ValeD-
tine, intently watching the protean little
cloud. 81 have seen hurricane begin

are safe enough. This steamer can stand
anything"
There comes the captain" observed
Valentine, without noticing Percy's re-
mark.
In fact the captain emerged from his
cabin and mounted the bridge; he cast a
glance at the cloud and then gave some
orders in low tone. They were fol-
lowed by an immediate activity on the
part of the watch on deck. The sailcr4

Come, Val, you're not contemplating

"Oh, my health is good, and 1 am in
good shape generally-neyer better. 1
am speaking of accidents, which are
liable to happen to the best regulated
gentlemen. In case of my sudden tax
ing off occurring while I am in your

cumstances should make it Unnecessary"
"If had anything to leave or to man

Valentine handed him, so would retail
late by appointing you my sole legatee
