will be organized during the present
month.
If you will examine the 9Th
page of this paper you will see the adj
vertisement of the Murray Buggy
Company, of Cincinnati, in two places.
Nh. Chas. A. Goodwin, of Bal
eigh, has presented the Wake County
Farmers Alliance with a gavel stone,
made of marble, which is a nice rep
resentation of a bale of cotton.
Bro. Powell, Business Agent
for the Wake County Alliance, is now
located on west Wilmington street,
and is prepared to furnish groceries,
&C., to the brethren at very reasonable
prices.
Bro. Jas. A. Wright, of Ken
tuck, Alabama, sends a renewal for
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER and adds
that the Alliance is in a -four
ishing condition in that part of the
country now.
The Concord Times of this
week says that the attendance at the
meeting of Cabarrus County Alliance
was the largest ever known, and that
no county in the State is more thor
oughly organized.
Bro. R. P. Hunter, of Mecklen.
burg county, Assistant State Lecturer
for the Alliance, was in the city last
Wednesday. He will begin a tour
through Lincoln, Catawba, Burke,
Caldwell, Alexander, lredell, Rowan
and Davidson counties next week.
His appointments will be published
soon.
Bro. J. J. Edwards, of Moore
county, spent several hours in the
city last Monday. He was on his way
to Durham to attend a meeting of the
directors of the Alliance warehouse at
that place. Bro. Edwards is a friend
to The PROGRESSIVE FARMER and at.
tested this by bringing US II sub
scriptions.
+ Bro. J. F. Bell, of the Business
Agency, attended the meeting of the
Franklin County Alliance, and came
back Saturday. He informs us that
there was a large number present and
much business of Importance trans
acted. Franklin has twenty eight
Sub Alliances. Twenty seven were
represented, which is a good record.
The Carthage Blade copies a
news item from The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER of last week which stated
that a little daughter of Rev. Martin
Mcqueen had been burned to death
near Carthage. The Blade says " she
was badly burned but will recover, is
rapidly improving" and asks where
we got the information of her death.
Our recollection is that some of our
daily exchanges first reported her
death. We are pleased to learn that
it was a mistake, and thank the Blade
for calling our attention to the error.
The meeting of the Wake
County Alliance in this city Friday
was largely attended and harmonious.
Bro. Jno. G. Scarborough was appoint
ed Crop Stalistician by the President
and all Presidents Of Sub-Alliances
are requested to appoint a good man
whose duty it shall be to report to
Bro. Scarborough. Blanks will be
furnished in time. Owing to bad
health, Bro. w. G. Crowder resigned
as County Secretary and Bro. J. j.
Dunn was elected. His address is
Raleigh. A resolution passed at the
ABOVE meeting will be found in an
other column.
= The students at the Agricultu-
raj and Mechanical College perpetrated
the largest " April fool " of the season
last Tuesday. They arose before day
and silently stole away and spent the
day at Cary, about eight miles from
the city. At the usual hour the Presi-
dent rang the bell for prayers, but
there was no response. On investiga-
ton, it was found thai the building
was deserted. The faculty did not
boil over with indignation, but their
smiles were not audible. 1t is need
less to add that President Holiday
gave them a talking to" the next
morning, informing them that this
first of April joke would be over
looked, but that such escapades should
not become fashionable.
