B6- The County Fegmsrs Alliance had
full business meeting last Friday. Not
being Of the initiated, of course We arc not
permitted to know what was done.
We have no objection to thus being left
out 10 the cold, SO long as the farmers hang
together to help themselv es out of the slough
of debt and dependency in which they
have been foundering for years.
Gentlemen, you are doing q noble work,
not only for yourselves but for al classes
and conditions Of your fellow-oitizens, and
that not only for the present but for ell
future time; and when you die your
children will not complain that you
left them a heritage of debt, barren
old fields and slavery 10 capitalists
and soulless combinations. Raise all
the supplies that can be raised on your
farms, bring your store trade down to cash
basis, and you will cut with many-cdged
sword, i. e., buy cheap, control, in great
measure, the price Of your cotton, reduce
the price of money, force capital into pub
lie enterprises, restore confidence and inau-
gurate an era Of sound prosperity, in which
oil men Of thrift and enterprise with
limited cash capital will be able 10 partici-
pate and enjoy as well as the moneyed men
and men Of extensive credit.
You are on the right track now, aud We
hope you will keep it. Let honor aud in
tegrity be the corners stone Of your srgan-
ization, and "weed OUT every mothers
SON whose conduct, either in or out Of the
Alliance, would cast o shadow upon your
good name, and you will do more to Ger.
rect the poll tical, social aud business evils
new existing than anything else We can
think Of.

By" Mr.. W. Fowler Dobo met with
quite serious accident last Saturday,
which may result in injury for life: He
was coming to town in buggy when the
mule ran away and threw him out. On
Tuesday MIR. Bobo was in town complaining
very much of his side paining him, and
was fearful that he had received some in
ternal injury. We sincerely hope his fears
are groundless.

n0. Last Sunday while Miss Bessie
Farrar's Sunday School was in session,
about II miles from her residence, in
Pinokney township. the sohosl was entered
by one George v. Fowler, Of this county,
and man by the nsme. Of Perkins. frsm
Virginia, who attempted to take from the
school by fsrce o.e- Of the scholars, boy
about IL years oil, tho SON Of Perkins, who,
with his tive sisters, sometime ago ran away
from their father, because Of i'll treatment,
and pa. themselves under the care Of their
uncle, Mr.. ]. G. Fsrrar, who il also their
trustee. The boy stoutly resisted, aud de-
clared he would rather die than return to
his father
Mr.. 8. 8. Farrar, the lille boys cousin,
happened to be IN the room at the time, and
when Fowler attempted to take tbs child he
interfsred aud forced Fowler out Of the
house. Finding. themselves foiled In the
attempt to kidsap the child, they got into
their buggy and drove off at rapid pace.
The excitement In the school ~as SO great
that il had to be dismissed, and Mr.. Farrar
aud mis- sister returned home, with the
frightened child udhnp sis.ss. ~'.''.
We are told that Perkins aud Fowler were
intoxicated at the time, and one Of them
used very profane language in the presence
Of Miss Farrar and the children Of the
school.
II oil is true that We have heard absut
tho affair, it was great outrage, and the
parties concerned in the attempt to kidnap
the child and disturbing the school should
be made to suffer the very extreme penalty
of the law for such offences.

Doings Around Town.
Three ciioles OF the order Of King :
Daughters havo been formed BY the Ladies
Of the congregation Of the church sf The
Nativity. and from what we can gslhsr, from
private graveyard" talk, they have aout
out" good deal Of good christian work for
each member. !. :.
We attended the solemn services Of sT,ap.
tism and receiving int full membership Of
the Presbyterian church, eighteen persons
last Sunday week. It was truly solemn oc-
casion, and made very imprsssivs by the
fact that Rer 8. 8 4. Z wsber, The beloved
venerable PsAtor Of the Methodist church.
and Rev. B..C. Lampley, the slcsaent pas
tor Of the Baptist church assisted their
younger brother, Rev. s. r. Hope the
Pastor Of the Presbyterian church, in
the interesting services. It was an occa-
sion that deeply impressed itself upon our
heart, and made US feel that al, was good
for us TO be there"
Last Sunday Dight Rev. B. C. Lampley
baptized, by immersion, twcnty-four new
members to the Baptist Church, before one
of the largest congregations that has assem-
bled in this town for years. We regre,
that we were unable to attend, for we feel
deep interest in such important occasions,
as they give the best eYidsncs Of IN increas-
ing sound religious sentiment in the COM
muui'y. Mr.. Lampley is becoming very
popular with oil denominations here, and
VIC think he will do much good for the cause
Of Christ and in purifying the moral atmos-
phere Of the community.
{ The Clifford Seminary isisteadr1y fpcreajt
ing in the number Of its pupils. We see
new faces Frightening its columns every
week or two, as they march before our
door to church, or around the campus for
health and recreation every morning. We
wish il had, as it deserves, q hundred bright
faces in its ranks.
There is not house Of any kind now
being built in this town, and If it was net
for the necessity Of taking down part of the
front of DR.. Culp's former Office to make
it secure, we don't think there would be
heard tho sound Of a trowel or sufficient
work ts keep two good carpenters at work
in the town Of Union.
The present fine weather for farm work
keeps the thrifty and honest farmers from
the town. consequently our streets look very
much like Sunday all the time, aud the
merchants are looking sky blue, but hope
ful that in sir months from noso they will
be busy again, gathering in the shekels from
their country customers. From what we
hear we are ne worse, in that respect, than
almost every other town in the State.
Scarcity Of meuey and business awful dull,
is the cry everywhere. Perhaps Union will
have boom when work commences ON car
nest on this division Of the 8 C's road. We
are watching for it, and intend to do all
we can to catch il at the first bounce. At
present, like everything else around here,
we are forced to stand still, or give force to
the generel exclamation, "Oh how these
Editors are given to lying"
We have not heard anything from the
Board Of Teachers Examination, but sup

were satisfied, il the Board was not.
