Mr.. EDIToR:-The Nash County
Farmers Alliance held its last regular
meeting with Bissett Sub Alliance on
Saturday, Oct. 14th, 1898. Owing to
the great hurricane that swept over
this section on Oct. 18th, there were
not near as many there as would have
been, but we had a very good meeting
Several Alliances that would other
wise h we been there we're not repre-
sented. Nothing of the kind hardly
ever equaled in this section before.
Twenty one Sub Alliances were repre-
eented
After the regular routine of business
was completed, the Alliance adjourned
for dinner.
After satisfying the inner man with
the many good things, such as the good
sisters Of Bissett Alliance and cOmmun
ity know how to prepare, brother l..
A. L)yd, ex Lecturer of the County
Alliance and one of the few true repre-
sentatives of the people in that memOT
able Legislature of 1898, aftera short
but pointed speech introduced brother
j. J. Long, District Lecturer for this
district.
I cannot give the brother justice but
will say that he is the right man in the
right place, and we hope to have him
come to isee us again. God's speed to
you, my brother.
The next regular meeting of the
County Alliance will be held with At
lantic Sub Alliance the second Thurs
day in January next.

and let us try to make u next meet

Begin now. See to it that reform lit

C, immunity. Go to work and get up
clubs at once and send them in. Now
is the time to prepare for next years
struggle. Such papers as u organ,
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER, and the CGu-
cdsidn will be of as great service to our
side-which is the side of justice-as
any speakers we could possibly get.
Our people need to be more thorough

combined forces of the plutOcratic and
~aristocratic powers against US, our (the
people's) cause is steadily gaining
ground. We need only to be vigilant,
always on the alert and do oar qChOLe
