INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO WEAR
SHOES.
w. H. WORTH, S. B. A.

Never try to wear a shoe too small
for your foot.
Be sure it is wide enough; it will
wear longer and be far more comfort
able.
Never let your shoe get hard or dry.
Keep it we'll oiled. Don't let it run
down at the heel or side. Never wear
into the welt or insole. A shoe re-
paired in time will retain it's shape and
comfort, and is true economy. Never
put your wet shoes by the fire to dry,
but dry them gradually and slowly.
Remember that wet leather will burn
much quicker than dry, and you should
eve put your shoes On anything so
hot that you cannot bear your hand
on it.
Never dry a wet shoe without first
applying some oil or grease-CastOr oil
or tallow is best. The steam generated
in a wet boot or shoe Will surely sCald
it and cause it to crack.
Never put a good pair of shoes in
rubbers-use an old pair for this, and
withdraw the rubbers as SOC as you
enter a house.
There is no part of a gentleman's or
lady's out that requires more care than
the foot wear, and, as a rule, none re-
ceives less,
Do not abuse your shoes or wear
them for any other purpose than that
for which they are intended. In other
words, donot attempt to climb a noun
tain in a light pair of dress shoes.

BRETHREN, TAKE NOTICE.

The brethren will please bear in mind
that in my official capacity as State
Business Agent, I am acting directly
under the instruction of the State
Executive Committee. Their instruc-
tions are that | shall "fll orders only
when cash to the full amount of the
bill accompanies each order, except in
cases of County and Sub-Business
Agents who have filed in my office a
justified legal bond for double the
amount expected to be due at any one
time, in which latter cas thirty days
from date of bill will be allowed in
which to make remittance for same.
Now it frequently happens that some
| good brother, not being informed as to
this ruling of the Executive Commit
tee, will ask us to ship goods and he
" wil pay for same on receipt OF bill, "
OF when goods arrive"
Sometimes we are asked to ship &C.
O. D." or with sight draft bill lading
attached" We do not like to be placed
in the attitude Of refusing, but n either
of the above cases we are compelled to
do so. We have had a little experience
in shipping "collect," and in nearly
every case it has been unpleasant and
unsatisfactory, some times goods lying
at their destination for weeks before
proper collection and remittance Is
made, thus causing dissatisfaction all
around. We feel sure that any brother
who will give this matter a moments
thought will not ask us to violate a
standing rule of the Alliance. You
will see also that it is better to have a
uniform plan for everybody.
1t IS always preferable to have your
bonded Business Agent, but if you wish
to send them direct, please accompany
each order with cash sufficient to cover
the bill. Any balance will be placed
to your credit, or returned to you as
you may direct,

WELL PLEASED.

ROXBORO, n. Q.
Bro. WOrtb:-I used the Alliance
guano last year and was never better
pleased with a guano. l used 81 sacks
on 81, 900 hills of tobacco, making about
81 lbs. to the 1 900 hills, which will net
me 3, 700 lbs, The leaves would average
about IA inches, small, white stem TO-
bacco. Everybody who saw it said it
was the heaviest tobacco they ever saw
grown on very poor land with nothing
but the guano So long as it keeps as
good a standard as it now has I don't
expect to use any other. With good
wishes and hoping you will do a large
business in 1898 than ever before, I re

OUR SEWING

There are some sewing machine
agents in different parts of the State
decrying the Alliance machine at ev-
cry home. They tell you it is ''unrelia-
BILE" made of pot iron," you can
never get repairs. " mo one is respon-
sible to you for repairs" and such like
expression which they know are false.
Only afew days ago, we learned that
Oneagent was saying that we were
shipping out second hand" machines.
That agent may deal in second hand
goods himself. The business agent of
the State Farmers Alliance does not.
Up to date. Feb. oath we have delivered
to the brethren over 1000 Alliance ma
chimes. We placed order for seven ma
chimes yesterday, one of which is to go
to Kansas.
Below we give a few original letters
from the brethren which speaks for
merits of our machine.

DEAR SIR:-I take pleasure in wri
ting you concerning the sewing ma
chine I ordered from you September
the goth, 1892. I wish to say to those
who may want a machine, that the
high arm Alliance machine is all right
in every respect, for I have owned
three in my time, and can say that the
High Arm Alliance machine is the best
I ever had. One of the machines cost
me about $43 so, and the Alliance ma
chine is far superior to that. My wife
is well pleased with it, it does its work
well as ever I saw any machine, [ can
not recommend it too highly for it
pleases well every way, it is light run
ming as can be.
I do this for the benefit of those who
may want a machine. I have mine for
inspection for those who may want to
see one. 1 will say further that the
machines shipped comes all right &C
cording to order freight paid.
Iremain ever yours,
