BRO. HOOVER AT EVENING STAR
ALLIANCE.


CREswELL, N. @.
Mr.. EDITOR: Evening Star Sub Alli-
ance, No. 1896, is held in a school
house, five miles west of Creswell,
which stands on plateau which is ad-
jacent to the farms S. w. WoodIey,
Robson Davenport, G.. F. Woodley
and Mrs. Caroline Davenport, and ad-
joins the railroad 1t is full of spirit
and pluck, The members met on the
18th of June at o'clock when our
highly esteemed Bro. Hoover delivered
an excellent speech. Bro. Hoover will
accomplish much good in the Alliance.
Bro Hoover is "a workman" who
needeth not to be ashamed We are
truly proud of him. He also spoke
near Creswell on the 18th at II o'clock
a. m. We hope he has accomplished
much good in bringing out the Business
Agency, which is only in its infancy.
We edon't believe there is an artist who
is able to draw future picture of the
length and breadth of the Business
Agency of the Farmers Allan ce.
We will have to touch the last legis-
lature lightly as we know there were
many good men in that body, one in
particular, ''our star" that shines
brightest i'll July and August He had
our county taxed to have a map made
of the center and lower end of the
county, showing the great necessity of
having a road made through the Dis
NAL, distance of five miles, cutting
off about 81 miles of the old route.
Our Star was on the road committee in
the legislature but failed to represent
his scheme OF the road, as he had
promised his constituents he would do.
We are glad to excuse him as we be-
ieve it was not the right season for
him to shine in. We know our Star
| to be hard worker and are pretty
sure the committee had detailed our
Represen 5ative to keep fires for that
honorable body, as the weather was
very cold. In the meantime there.
came the dog bill, which was SO OBJ
noxious to all farmers and under such
extreme measures that we could not
expect our Star to think OF his county,
much less road prospect which would
be the meang Of enhancing the pros
perity Of the people. think it will be
expedient to elect Bro. Star once more,
then perhaps he will manage the road
scheme more satisfactorily He will,
perchance, advise his county commits
sioners to order a survey in behalf of
said-road and the county will pay the
expense for two maps, one for the leg:
islature and the other for the good peo-
pie of his county, so if they don't get
the road they will certainly get the
map.
