Alliance in the vicinity of Richmond,
Chatham county, intends to give a
regular Alliance picnic at Richmond
Station, on the Cape Fear and Yad-
kin Valley Railway, on the 9th of
this month, provided some efficient
speakers can be procured to deliver
addresses on the occasion. The occa-
sion will doubtless be pleasant and
profitable.

He had eve been absent from a
meeting of his Alliance since its or
ganization. No one in the fraternity
was more earnest in the work of the
Alliance Or gave his attention more
z~ealously to furthering it's objects.
He had been for many years a consis-
tent member of the M. E. Church
South.
Secretary Barnett, of Alliance
No. 331, says there has not been much
said about it in our organ, but it is a
fact nevertheless, that No. 831 is
orthodox on all the important move
ments of the State and National ALI
ance; has adopted the Incorporation
Act; favors consolidation; is down on
trusts and trust bsgging; has con-
tr1buted $97 to the State Agency
Fund, with $34.5O more subscribed,
and we number on only A members
at that; and we don't claim to be rich
or even "good off," If all the rest
OF the Subs would do half as well,
the Business Agent would go on his
way rejoicing and accomplish much
good.
