BAYBORO. n. c.. Nav 9. 81.
r.. A. L.

Mr.. EDITOR:-Our District Lecturer,
Bro, F. :. Blair, of the First district,
was with us today, according to pre-
viOus arrangements. In response to
the call of Pamlico County Alliance
| and Industrial Union for a general pic
mic and a grand gala day, a large and
enthusiastic a~ssemblage of her citizens
assembled at Milton church to hear
Bro. Blair preach Alliance gospel
which he did with force and effect.
The orator Of the day was intro
duced by our County President in an
eloquent little speech, after which Bro.
Blair held his audience spellbound for
about one and a half hours, preaching
Alliance gospel in it's purity and sim
plicity. After Bro. Blair closed his
able argument, the chairman of the
committee on arrangements announced
that the ladies had prepared a special
repast which was very soon arranged
and general invitation given, and if
everybody present didn't satisfy the
inner man it was their own fault, for
there was enough for everybody and
several baskets left.
1t was also announced that precisely
at two o'clock the members of the ALI
ance would assemble at the Masonic
Hall for instruction in the secret work.
The County Alliance was opened in the
usual form, and Bro. Blair gave us a
grand and noble lecture on the work
ings Of the order, and | sincerely be-
lieve that the brother left a warm spot
in the bosom Of every one present.
There was several short speeches made
by members touching on subjects of
interest, and Bro. Blair congratulated
our Alliance for unity of action and
good order, and advised us to discuss
subiectsO of interest in our Sub-AIIiance.
Brethren 1 think the lecture system is
the best | know of for the advance
ment of our noble order. To prove the
assertion. Triumph Alliance, No. 1,O76.
which had been standing still for some
time, received six applications tonight
at our regular meeting.
Bro. Blair babe us good bye by shak-
ing hands with our beloved President.
Yours fraternally,
J. w. DAWSON.

OAK GROVE, N. c., March 81, 81.

OAK GRONE N. u, Md1Ch 81, u
MIR. EDITOR:-You will please find
room in your valuable paper CTHE Pro
GREssIvE FARMER) for a few lines from
Oak Grove Alliance. No. 833. We
number at present about 40 males and
10 females and still adding to Our num-
Der. [ trust that in the near future
we will number Is good, solid, working
members for this grand order.
One good deed was done by this lodge
and several others near here. In the
latter part of last summer an aged
member of this Alliance had the mis-
fortune to lose his horse. A commit
tee was appointed to raise the funds to
purchase a horse. The work was &C
complished by the committee and a
very good horse was bought and de-
livered OvertO the brother. The good old
brother in rendering his kindest thanks
and best wishes to this people, said
that he had been farming fifty years,
and not so much had ever been given
to him at one time in all his life. Oh
may our good work go on in prosper
ity, and bye and bye Our good works
may prove a blessing to all.
Much has been said about money
kings, mOnopolies and trusts, but it
becomes us, as farmers, especially of
North Carolina, to produce something
else besides tobacco. Years ago this
country was flooded with grain, com
paratively speaking. What has caused
this short stOppage in grain? Tobacco
farmers have said it was cheaper to
raise tobacco and buy corn and wheat
than to raise it, but 1t is not true. Fiji
teen years ago we could see mills in
this country doing a very good bust
ness, but how many do we see pros
pering today? None. We the farm
ers, must make home supplies before
we can ever make a success. Take
heed, brethren, what we are doing.
Yours fraternally,
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1891-05-26
WINFALL, N. c., Nav IA, 1891.

WINFALL, N. c., May IA, 1891.
Mr.. EDTTOR-YOur issue of the 5th
inst. is very fine; don't think I ever
saw a page of better Alliance matter
than is that opposite your able edito-
rial department. This is what we
want; a little se~nsationalism, highly
seasoned matter that burns, a little
grape and canister, sharp-shooters, as
it were. Let the enemy be driven
back until they cry hold, enough"
Let me make you aprediction, although
l am nothing but a young countryman.
The National Farmers Alliance and
Industrial Union is going to sweep this
country from ocean to ocean, from
Canada to Mexico, and I say let her
go. It is said something will be heard
to drop. 1t strikes me it will be felt
more than heard. The fall of the bal
lot in the box is imperceptible unless
perchance one of Edison's (proposed)
electrical instruments was on hand
which, it is claimed, will catch the
sound of falling bodies in the sun.
You enemies to our order outside,
suppose we do go into politics. Are
not we free moral agents? Is not this
a ~so-called) government of, for and by
the people? What's the matter with
seven million American farmers tax
ing a hand in public affairs? Well, we
are in it. If you don't like it, lump it;
that's all. '"There is a tide in the affairs
O men, which, when taken at its flood,
leads on to fortune" We have caught
that tide, rest assured, and will not
stop short of victory. We may hat
like the flood in the marrow gorge"
but the pressure back of it is irresisti-
BILE. When the National Farmers
Alliance flood does reach high water
mark and begins to get out of its banks,
then it will be good bye old parties,
we've got the coon and gone on. The
