FRED GRANTS WIFE.
Her Ideas of Women as Shown In
Daughters Training.

Her Ideas of Women rs Shown In Her
Daughters Training.
Mrs. Colonel Fred Grant has her
own ideas about the education of girls,
and mental development Is not one of
them. She believes in the old-time
giddy girl and womanly woman. and
is intolerant of any measure. training
or discipline that tends to strongmind-
edness. Averse to female colleges and
women's clubs. she contends that the
woman suffrage movement has done
more harm by promoting divorces and
bachelorhood than its success can ever
benefit the sex. Mrs. Grant not only
dislikes public-spirited women, but
positively refuses to meet them. Like
James G. Blaine, she considers a fe.
male politician a horror. and during
her residence in the White House new
er voluntarily received one of that
class. Mrs. General Grants antipathy
was almost as great, and the two fire.

MYRTLE BRANCH ALLIANCE, No. 1888,

Mr.. EDIToR:-Allow me short space
in your paper to make a few remarks
concerning our lodge We were or
ganized by Bro. A. A. Edwards,
County Organizer, November the 18th,
1883, with thirteen male members and
three females, the gazing community
specializing and wondering what good
we could accomplish. Occasionally
one would apply for membership, and
we moved along slowly, exhibiting our
motto and giving light to those who
sat in darkness as to the aims and in
tentions of our noble order, until they
have walked up, and some of our most
prominent farmers and laborers are
coming in. We have nineteen males
and four females, four for initiation
and four applicants. So you see we
are coming, and l l1lieve that we
come to stay. We heartily endorse
all the. resolutions set forth by. our
State Alliance and will ever, be found
in the front rank of duty. We have
made arrangements with some of our
merchants in Wilmington for our
trade, who seem to be in sympathy
with our order, and our people don't
grumble at the way they are treated.
All seem satisfied until we a do bet
ter. We haven't done anything yet
for the Business Agency Fund, but
believe after the brethren understand
how it will be worked, by our agents,
and where and how they will be bene-
fitted, that they will promptly respond.
Our Business Agent, J. D. McRae, is
a business man and will soon learn to
cooperate with his brother agents.
Give us all the light you can on the
Business Agency Fund. Several dol
lars from this section of country are
held back for want of a proper under
standing. Explain to the brethren
how that money will benefit them and
they will respond.

WORTHY OF IMITATION.
RosEMAN, Catawba Co., N. c.,
March 25, '89.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Having been re-
quested to write something concerning
our Alliance for The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER, 1 will jot you a few lines,
though l do not approve of the prac-
tice of crowding u valuable organ
with unimportant or impracticable
resolutions and other matter which is
of no general interest.
Our Alliance, No. 400, was organ
lied February 25th, 1888, with sixteen
members; we now number sixty-three
with six more to initiate at next meet
ing.
While we do not boast of any great
things for our Alliance, yet on all the
great questions of the day you may
count us heart and hand with those
who are working for the amelloration
of the condition of the farmers.
AS to the Business Agency Fund,
we urge its Importance at almost
every meeting. Doubtless some mem
bers are getting tired of hearing about
it, but we are not done with them yet;
we intend to press the matter until all
who are able either contribute some
thing to the fund or get tired enough
to quit us. An Alliance man who ex-
poets to reap all the time without ever
sowing will be a dead weight-too
heavy for us to carry. At our meet
ing in January we voted $40 of the
funds belonging to u Alliance to the
Business Agency Fund, and we would
be pleased if other Alliances would
do the same. We hope yet to see
Maple Grove on. the roll of honor.
