PARISH ALLTANCE MEET
ING AT TULIP.

On the 3rd and 4th inst, the
Alliance met at Tulip hy delega
ton to transact the business per-
tanning to the organization. Quite
an array of intelligence was no
ticeable in this meeting. Among
this determined live of farmers
present was one of our rcprcsen-
tatiycs and president Of the Ali,
ance, ex representatives, pence
members, doctors, secretary Qfthe
State Alliance and members, and
many gray boards of recent &C
cession. Uncle Pat Marsalls, the
fonndcr of Tulip, his pleasant
home, who has for fifty years
stood IN the front rank Of farmers,
has recently joined the Alliance.
He regrets that the Alliance
should not have been organized
sooner. We wish for him ease
and happiness in the serenity Of
old age, although his tottering
step and fast lengthening shadow
accompany him, we devoutly de
sire his assistance in our struggle.
The deliberations of the ALI
ance were smooth and uniform
and the business was transacted
with ability and speed. This
community for many years has
been the peer of any in North
Louisiana for intelligence, thrift,
morslity and industry. 1t would
be invidlous to particularize as
the whole community are good.
A very able discussion was deliv-

just before the people began to

lilly, put in an appearance and
delivered in his colIoquial way q
very Interesting discourse. The
two days meeting attended as it
was by such a'coucourse of PEG
pie signally attest at this busy

earnestness in the struggle in
which they are engulced.
