Mr.. John Sheperd, of O,angeburg, is
visiting in the Singley section, the
guest of G. NJ. Singley and family.
Mr. and Mrs f. y. Morris, Of New
berry, made a flying visit to the lower
part OF this section last Sunday.
Sorry to state that Mrs. J. J. kinard
is on the sick list this week.
The Hessian fly is becoming so
numerous down here that they are
coming into the houses. The writer
Just knocked one from his desk. What
must we do with them Mr.. Editor =?
After eating up our grain they come
into the house and 60 to eating on us.
The Jolly Street Alliance, with but
few exceptions, have decided to trade
at Pomaria this year; and we think a
large percentage of the Cannon's Creek
Alliance trade will drift off down that
way this year too; and we have also
learned that portion of Mt. Pilgrims
trade will 60 to Pomaria. What's the
matter, Prosperity: You must wake up
to sense Of your duty, or when Little
Mountain and Little Pomaria get
built up you will be left.
Mr.. Editor, we have in our possession
an old violin with the following words
engraved OH the inside, which we
would he very much obliged if you
would translate and put under the
heading of this writing, the following
are the words: "Andreas Guarnerius
fecit Cremona - Sub Tituto Santa
Teresia, 1879"
Farmers are unusually ahead with
their blowing, and if the weather con-
tinues favorable there will be corn
pianted next week.
One of our young married couples
was teaching one another how to
economise quiet recently, and the lady
was about to get the advantage of her
husband, when he exclaimed, II know
a better way than that; We will haye
to split the matches in two. Iti too ex-
travagant to strike whole match at
timen
There was a large congregation at
Bachman Chapel last Sunday evening,
and our pastor, Rev. ]. A. Sigh,
preached one of his usual interesting
sermons, from Psalms 10: 1918. The
whole sermon taught that God does
not look upon sill with the least allow
ance.
Mr.. Editor, few words about the
Alliance and then am through. AS
this subject is becoming one of the
great issues of the day, and is agita-
ting the minds ola great many people,
both in and out of the order, a news
paper writer is not noticed very much
unless he has something to say upon
the subject. There are different ques-
tions being asked about the Alliance by
outsiders almost every day. Such ques-
tions as these: What is the Alliance
doing? What has it done? and in
short, What can it do? We know the
Alliance is like almost every other Or
ganization in this respect. 1t has its
enemies, and vast amount Of them,
and don't you forget it. We know that
there are set of very shrewd and
sharp politicians who are going to
whoop up in some round about way,
after while, that it will never do to
bring politics into the Alliance. We
know that merchants and bankers, in
fact all the mnnied monopolists, are
fighting joint notes, and the concentra-
ton of the farmers trade through the
exchange, or the adoption of trade
houses. While all this sort of stuff is
going on, it is nothing more than the
farmers expected; in fact, it is nothing
more than they have been used ito.
But while they may succeed in over
throwing few joint notes, and let it
be possible that they could tear down
the exchange for the present, it is in no
wise likely that they will ever be able
to disorganize the farmers, for they are
getting deep rooted. and the more you
shake them the stronger they grow.
Now we propose to answer some of
the above named questions.
First, What is the Alliance doing?
Why, it is doing more for the farmers
than any other organization that has
ever been introduced. What has be-
come of the jute trust? How many
thousand dollars has the Alliance
saved its brethren by downing this
single trust? Will we not be better
prepared in downing the second attack
than the first? Do you suppose that
our merchants will be as scared to
order cotton bagging this fall as they
were last? No doubt they said within
themselves, 1--WE will just order a little
at time. We don't believe that the
farmers will stick, and tie cotton bag
cling will be left on our hands" If
there was any bagging left on the
merchants hands, is it not jute? In
the second place, the Alliance is teach
ing one thing that. has been of vital
Importance ever since the war. There
is no doubt but it is teaching its breth-
ren to practice economy, and if it had
done nothing else than this, it would
be worth millions Then some one
