A DIVISION OF POULTRY DE.
SIRED.

The following preamble and resoIu-
tions we're unanimously adopted by
the Los Angeles California; County
Poultry Association at its regular meet
ing, held April s, 1888:
WHEREAS, 1t is estimated (approxi
mately) that the value Of the egg pro
duct of the United States for 1899
reached fully $500, 900, 600, and the
value Of poultry about 500, 900, 600;
and whereas, the National government
Of the United States, through it's De-
partment Of Agriculture, expends vast
sums Of money annually in fostering
and encouraging nearly every branch
Of industry connected with an enlight-
ened agriculture, the lines of investiga-
ton and scientific and practical re-
search being divided into special di-
visions, viz: the division of vegetable
pathology, ofentomology, of pomology,
of forestry, Of animal industry, etc,
each under the charge of q competent
chief and a corps of experts in their
special lines; and wherers, the poultry
interests of the United States, equalling
in magnitude any branch of rural in
dustry and exceeding others in no way
so represented; therefore be it
Resolved, by the Los Angeles County
Poultry Association in regular conven
ton assembled, the secretary Of the
National Department Of Agriculture
at Washington is hereby earnestly pc
titioned by the poultry interests repre-
scented in this Association to establish
q subdivision in connection with the
bureau Of animal industry, to be
known as the division Of poultry; said
division to be in control of thoroughly
scientific and practical poultry breed
ers, and to have for its object the ad-
vancement Of the poultry interests
generally, to the end that the most
economical and effective means for
Graduating pests and disease may be
as~certained, and the best results Sc
cured at the minimum of cost in the
rearing, mating, breeding and manag-
ing Of fowls.
2, That the Secretary of the Los An
geles County Poultry Association send
copies of these resolutions to the Secre-
tary Of Agriculture at Washington, to
the California representatives, to the
secretaries of kindred and sister poul-
try ASSOCIATIONS, and to the poultry
papers generally.

A PLUCKY YOUNG MAN.
He Didn't Believe Matrimony Should be
Carried "Into Politics"

DISMAL, N. @.
Mr. EDITOR :-Though LAY by" time
Is close at hand, and I am very busy
killing corn, yet I must take time to
tell you what the Democrats are doing.
1 tell you, sir, some of them are look
ing like they have eaten something
that does not agree with them since
their Uncle Grover will not turn out
the negro Office holders and has an
pointed a full blood African as U. S.
Consul to Madagascar. But I reckon
Grover is right; they (the negroes) put
him in office, now he is putting them
in.
Another thing some of the Democrats
are doing, they are persuading our
girls to let all the young men who
voted the Peoples party ticket alone;
and whatever else they do, however
many other sins they may commit, for
the sake of their ~''sires," don't marry
q Third party man. A young man
asked a girl if she would marry him,
a few weeks ago, $50 we have been in
formed) Yes" said she, eff you will
vote a Democratic ticket" But the
young man vas pure grit" and said
he would not do that. Finally the girl
told him that when the polls were open
he could vote as he pleased, and so you
see all we're happy and the young man
is still a peoples party man.

LETTER FROM VANCE COUNTY.

Mr.. EDITOR:-I am not a member Of
the Farmers Alliance, but I believe in
their demands. They need every de-
mand they have asked for, and I will
always cast my vote for them 50 long
as they are right. The demands
adopted by the Farmers Alliance and
Industrial Union at Memphis, Tenn,
a. e all right and should be made into
laws for the benefit of all the people in
the United States. Demand E is one
Of the demands that the Democratic
party wanted until Cleveland stopped
them, Yes, Mr.. Editor, keep on the
good work. The reformers have got
the Democratic party where the boy
had the rat in the trap-and they
know that if they don't do the right
thing they will be bounced. But I am
satisfied that they won't make any
law for the benefit Of the working
people only what the working people
force them to make, as they know they
are being watched and the greed for
office may cause them to make a few
laws that will help us SO they can have
the government pay their board and
wash bill. It is strange to hear these
politicians talking about the farmers
wanting help from the government
and at the same time every one of these
same fellows are begging the govern
ment to support them and their fami-
lies still. Give us the free coinage of
silver, abolish the internal revenue tax
on tobacco 50 the farmers can do as he
pleases with his tobacco. Give US the
Sub Treasury bill and all the demands
of the Peoples party, then we will
have good times.

were. The Democratic party is not to-
day the party founded by Jefferson
and his compeers; and if the Peoples
party should ever attain power, it, like
the Republican and Democratic par
ties before it, would probably forget
it's original mission and spend its time
in perpetuating itself and in enriching
the few at the expense of the many.
No political party will go right for
long unless the people put pressure
upon them to keep them in the straight
path.
Other Alliance demands were treated
by the doctor in the same exhaustive
st, lie. His speech lasted q hours and
was interspersed here and there with
| with short anecdotes and witty sayings
which kept the crowd alive and in a
receptive humor.
On Saturday the doctor spoke at
| Louisburg. The courth 0use was filled.
| Among the crowd were merchants and
~townspeople not usually put,down as
Alliance sympathizers. They listened
to the doctor with attention and most
of them seemed to enjoy his speech
very much. I have not the least doubt
that the speech did us a great deal of
good. F. ASHTON, Go. Lecturer.

MAYBELL'S ARMY.
He Paraded His Band on
Market Street.
Five Men, Two Boys and the Mrs.
General Passed in Review
Last Night.

Like the historical King of France, so did
General Stephen Maybell march his army
up the grade last night and then he marched
it down again-on this occasion the grade
was Market street.
To be sure, it was not much Of an army,
only five men and two boys. but then there
WAS Mrs. General Maybell also in the
ranks, marching behind the little captain
with the big drum, just like any other
soldier.
The general lugged big American flag

started, to Sixth street, where big recruit

There was second Illuminated sign
which told the people along the line of
march that they were seeing THE Army of
Heaven at Hand" and THE Party of

Two youngsters. one In front and the
other acting as rear guard, carried torches

for moment upon little woman leaning
wearily against the iron railing. who lifted
up a wan ce to the sunlight and smiled
when she heard their voices.
Through all the sweet idleness of those
frst days OF their new life he saw this poor
little mote in his sunshine. Early and late
she was there-listless. silent, expression
less-a sad embodiment OF the memory that
haunted his life with subtle sense of
wrong.
At last he told his wife her story-with,
naturally, here and there a reservation of
facts that be knew would jar rudeIy upon
the sensiblitles OF bride. Truth would
often serve meRner purpose than false
hood; and so, sometimes, it is a curious
duty imposed upon the righteous to make
virtue of falsehood and force truth to a
compromise.
And that he did this for her sake and not
for his own was his full justification. If he
had told her that he had really loved the
f0rsaken girl better than lie could ever
love her her pity would not have gone, as it
did, to this poor exile of Love-she would
have kept 1t al home for her own just
needs.
What a sad irony it would be if every
pride could but look, as this one did, from
Ter new home and see her husbands old
loves standing wistful outside the gate.
But there came a day that they did not
see her at the gate, and another day size
was not there.
Then the wife said, in the magnaDimity
OF her own fair fortune, 'Some i'll has be-
fallen her let US so to the tenement
and see."
So in the twilight he led her, as he had
led the other. along the brilliant avenue,
down dim streets, across dark alleys and up
the long, gloomy stairs to the narrow room
in the tenement There they found her
sitting at the foot of the bed, gazing pens
lively at the face OF her mother who lay
there in the rev peace OF death, with hands
folded decently upon her breast and a
lighted candle at her head and at her feet
that did not shine as brightly as the kind
eyes Of the poor working woman next door,
from whose scanty store they had come.
She who sat there so calmly glanced up
at him and smiled. unmindful of death or
of the rare compensation than was hers-tO
look upon death with untrOubed eyes.
1t was tile young wife who wept-yet not
for the Dead. 1t was the young wife noble
in loving, but nobler in plying where she
did not love-, who at last took the orphans
hand and said to him who stood by in re-
membering silence: I'VE will make what
poor reparation we can. Both Love and
Death have left her TO US for legacy, and
our duty is plain: We must keep her from
want and harm"
So they took her away-and that night
when he opened the old iron gate, Love as
victor and Love as victim followed him in,
hand in hand.-Lucle Rutland.

And 80 it was, day after day-ever the lit
lie listless figure waiting for him at his gate
IN the early morning; ever the silent, up

the disappearance at the bank, and the re-

silent two going along dim streets and dark

Often as the days went by he thought of
one way out of 1t all, but his pity and his
