A society paper says. that onion
socials are likely to be the rage in
Scott county this season. Here is
the way it is done: Six young ladies
stand in q row. and one bites-a chunk
out Of an onion. A young man pays
ten cents for guess as to which of
ladies bit the onion. If he guesses
rightly he kisses the other five ladies;
II he does not he is only allowed TO
kiss the girl with the onion scented
breath. The tariff is extremely
reasonable. and the game is likely to
become popular.

EDITORIAL SUGGESTIONS.

Read a good Alliance paper if you
take only one. But read others if you
can.
The finer the soil is pulverized the
better it is for. all crops. Clods do not
contribute to plant life any more than
if they were rocks.
The politician, or even respectable
citizen, who thinks he can fool the
people by telling them times are get
ting better, ought to go off and learn
something.
Time is valuable. The farm should
have as much Of time and attention as

merchant his, Economic time and

operation, they will all be left in the
yawing chasm that confronts them.
If there be any one class of men who
receive more and ask for less it is the
farmers. Theoretically agriculture
controls the world, but in reality, the
country is still ruled by the cities.

resolutions.
Resolved, That we condemn the acts
of the legislature that has just ad-
iourned in trying to repeal the charter
of the Farmers Alliance and passing
some pretended amendments to the
same, and look upon it as lowdown,
cowardly act.
2. That we believe it was done to
promote sectionaIism and break down
thu Alliance.
3. That we have not seen anything
they have done to further the interest
of the farmers and the laboring class
of the State.
4. That if any one who is or was a
member of this Alliance wishes to
withdraw his portion of the Business
Agency fund, we will return two dol
ars for every one taken out.

Another vein in the Alliance neck will
have to be cut before she dies"
BRO. A. J. Moye writes that he is
doing all he can for THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER; that he commends our course
and is highly pleased with the paper.
He also says the Alliance members in
his section are more united and more
determined than at any time since the
organization started.
BRO. J. W. Harris, of Montgomery
county, writes that he can't see what
makes the farmers foolish enough to
vote against their own interests as
they so often do. They vote for the
money power and always suffer. In q
few years we will be where Moses was
when the light went out.

withdrawn, but fortunately for us there
are only five or six Of the members of
our Sub who fell by the wayside during
the political contest. You can set Ca

Don't spend your money for fertili

A farm without a garden and orchard

ROBESON Co., N. 4.
WHEREAS, We the members of Great
Marsh Alliance, No. 1876, have heard
with contempt of the effort of the last
legislature to interfere with the Busi-
ness Agency of our State Alliance with
the intention, as we believe of damag-
ing our Order; and whereas, they have
singled out the Alliance from all other
corporations in unparalleled restric
tions; and whereas, they did not accept
the amendments offered by our worthy
State President which would have
been honest and satisfactory, but took
a.week to fix others as mean and more
cowardly than the first effort.
ReSOLUed, That we denounce the act
as mean and cowardly on the part of
our enemies to injure one of the best
orders we have ever known for the
benefit of the farmers and laborers of
the whole country.
2. That we have now over one hun
dred dollars in the State Business
Agency fund, and should any of our
members see fit to draw out their part
we will replace it at once.
The above preamo ole and resolution
were unanimously adopted after thor
oughly discussing amendments to our
charter, and ordered to be published
in The PRoGREssIvE FARMER and the
