call of the President.
J. B. SMITH, Lecturer.
P. Sowing to the limited notice,
and the confusion arising from the re-
distributing of the Congressional dis
tricts by the legislature, there was not
as full representation from all the
counties as would otherwise have been,
yet the great interest and unanimity
of purpose manifested by those present
augurs well for the future of the order
in the gallant 5th. We regret to lose
two of the counties which have hereto
fore been so pleasantly associated with
us, but most cordially welcome the
three which, under the new arrange
ment, have been assigned to this dis
trict. Would say to the members not
present at the district meeting that the
adopting of a district organ was with
no desire or purpose of detracting from
our State organ, but recognizing the
power of the newspaper press as an
educational factor, we desire to avail
ourselves of this powerful engine to
promulgate the principles of our Organi-
zation, which we believe, if clearly
understood and practiced, will be for
the betterment of humanity.
To close a notice of this meeting
without a reference to the chief actor
in it would be as the play Of Hamlette
with Hamlette left out" To be appre-
ciated Bro. Terrell must be heard and
seen. He deals not in anecdotes; ap-
peals to no passion nor prejudice; de-
sires no applause. Style converse
tional, voice of the sweetest Southern
accent, summed up in words his man
ner of speaking is expressed in the
S~criptural invitation, Come let us
reason together" He sticks to this
text and holds the closest attention of
his audience for over two hours at a
time. J. B. S.
At a regular meeting of OkiskO Ali
ance, No. 1,044, on March 26, 1891, it
was unanimously agreed that this ALI
ance contribute the sum Of g in the
way of a donation to the suffering
farmers of South Dakota, who have so
touchingly appealed to us for aid. And
as a token of our sympathy and regard
for those whose interest is SO intimate
ly identified with that of ours, and
especially those who are members of
this the grandest secular organization
known, founded upon Christian princi-
pies, having for it's object the anchor
alton of the great industrial classes
financially, socially, politically and re-
ligiously, urgently appeal to every
Sub-Alliance In the State of North
Carolina to respond without hesitation
to the call of our Western brethren, as
North Carolinians are in the habit of
doing, to the full extent Of their ability,
feeling assured the act will not only
meet the warranted appreciation Of
our Western brethren, but the choicest
blessings Of our Blessed Master and an
abiding conscience that we have done
only our duty.
LII UAOA oSAOCu w SOAO Jul OOA4ob-
ton to our worthy Bro. E. @. Bedding
field to forward to the proper persons,
and request the various Sub-Alliances
thus contributing to forward through
same channel, thereby insuring safe
transit.
We sincerely hope the brethren
throughout the State will come up
nobly in this cause. Good will result
from it both here and hereafter. Speedy
action is required.
1t was further agreed to forward
these proceedings to The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER and request their publication.
Yours f~raternally,
NJ. G. GREGORY, Lecturer.
