Are the best months in which to purify your
blood, for at no other season does the system so
much need the aid of a reliable medicine like
Hoods Sarsaparilla, as now. During the long.
cold winter, the blood becomes thin and impure,
the body becomes weak and tired, the appetite
may be lost. Hoods Sarsaparilla is peculiarly
adapted to purify and enrich the blood, to create
good appetite and to overcome that tired feeling

Mr.. EDITOR Having been elected
correspondent to your valuable pa
per, please find space for q few ines
from our order. We meet twice q
month and always try to make u
meetings interesting. We have as
good a president as any Sub:Alliance
can afford, Mr.. S. A. Earnhardt. lie
always has something new to tell US,
and we are listening to hear from the
order he has made. He is III busl'
ness agent and he has made an order
amounting to nearly one hundred dol
lars. We helped to raise the Busl.
ness Agency fund to what It is and
now to get the benefit of it we have
borrowed 500 from n of our men,
bers and gave a note for the same
and the interest to be paid out OF the
treasury, and the 500 to be used as
a purchasing fund within our order,
to buy such things as we need most.
I think it is a very good move our
order has made and / also think 1T
would be a good o for all the
Sub Alliances that cannot raise a pur-
chasing fund in their alliance by their
members paying so much to the mem
Der to borrow the fund from some
good alliance man, but not to pay
more than eight per cent interest,
and to keep the said fund turning
over and over. Please publish this
and 1 will write more the next time.

FROM ASHE COUNTY.

GRASSY CREEK, N. c., Dec. 7, 'S9.
Mr.. EDIToR: Since I have been
in the work of organizing / have
visited nearly every neighborhood in
the county, and have spent much
time in laying the principles and pur-
poses of the Farmers Alliance be-
fore the people.
l have effected ten organizations
with l56 members. The outlook for
the Order is promising at this time.
There has been a rapid increase, both
in interest and in numbers, for the
last month. Our people are begin
ming to see what they need, and po-
litical prejudices, which have so long
divided the people, and are giving
away to unity of action and a spirit
of thought and inquiry. There are
still a few neighborhoods holding
back on account of politics but think
they will organize in the near future.
Our people are generally poor and
will remain so until they have a
better system of farming, reduce un-
lO6SOAnO4O GoAdb1OA III SA64SO O1C
trade system from that of extortion
and oppres sion to a system Of equity.
Our county is we'll adapted to the
various kinds of grass and grain and
many of the most useful Vegetables
grow and mature we'll. We try to
make our meet and grain, and de-
pend On stock rearing for money.
But the prices of cattle have so de-
cl1ned that it makes it very hard on
our people. The county of Ashe is
well timbered, and rich in mineral,
such as iron and copper, &c. We
have no rail road, probably we will
have in the near future. There is
much talk on the subject at this time.
The question of voting a tax of
$4,000 on county, to bear 6
per cent interest for 80 years, should
be well considered. We would like
to see. something in the PROGRESSIVE
FARMER as to the wisdom of such
a tax. Yours Fraternally,

We call our readers attention to the
advertisement Of Messrs. Powell Brothers,
who>e stock has become so we'll known
throughout America that no argument is
needed to convince n desiring choice
animals of any breed. of the wisdom of
visiting their establishment before making
a selection. They feel justified in saying
that their experience as breeders and i'm
porters, their facilities, low rates of Trans
portation, large numbers constantly on
hand (now being over 1000 head of pure
bred live stock) and the extent of their
business, enables them to offer induce
ments to any wishing to purchase fine live
stock, not surpassed by any firm in this
country.
