LETTER FROM

Mr.. EDIToR:-New Gilead Alliance,
No. 2O6, at our last meeting appointed
me corresponding secretary for The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER. Oar Alliance
is composed of the very best men and
women in No. 5. Our officers r
punctual in attendance, honest in
their dealings to the brethren of the
Alliance. We want the Alliance
brethren to make a note of this. We
pay our quarterage and our subscrip-
ton to The PROGRESSIVE FARMR in
advance to a unit. Keep your ALI
ance and the organ of the Alliance
out of debt and you will be marching
to the kingdom of peace and pros.
perity.
We bought through the Alliance
this season three hundred and fifty
dollars worth of fertilizers.
Our membership is as follows:
Males, At; females, %.
Our cotton men have all paid their
apportionment to tie county business
agent to aid him in his labors for the
brethren of the County Alliance. We
have paid to the State Business Agent
about $48 and have a few dollars
subscribed.
On February 9th our worthy Chap
lain, h. A. Blackwelder, was called
from time to eternity. He was
loved by the Alliance and by all who
knew him, and was a good husband
and father, and a Christian.
We have a capital on hand to fur,
nish our poor brethren with the real
necessities that they will need and
furnish the same at 8 per cent. per
annum.
1 know a poor man that joined the
Alliance Is months ago. Previous
to that time his credit accounts in
town was about $50. He would
come out $40 or $l2 behind and
would have to work day labor
through the winter to pay the bal
ance. Last year his Alliance fur
nished him with about his usual
amount Of goods at s per cent. inter
est and when he settled up last fall he
had saved money enough to buy a
! good milk COW, a pig and pay his
taxes.
Mr.. G. NJ. Walter, who has been
Secretary ever since our Alliance was
organized, says we are On a boom;
that we are moving as a unit and
the books r out of debt
The Cabarrus County Alliance met
at New Gilead on the Sd and 4th in
stants. The largest assembly Of men
and women that has ever met in this
county was said to be at New Gilead
at the time above named. Food for
man and beast was plenty on the
ground and a table twenty five yards
long was laden with good things to
eat both days, and the delegates was
all taken care of. If there is any
County Alliance meeting in the State
that can show more women with
filed baskets and ready and willing
hands to help along the toil1ng breth
rem than we of No. 5, why l want tc
be there.
F'raternallY yours,
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1890-04-22
