the Democratic agents, until we have
knocked the $50 and $50 machines out
of existence. The Alliance people know
more about the Alliance machine than
the agent does who is trying 10 down

adjourned to meet with Coco Sub ALI
ance, No 751. at our next regular
meeting in April. Twenty Subs paid
in fees and dues, and some others have
reported since, so after all we had a
very good meeting.
Brethren and friends of reform, go
to work! You cannot afford to idle
now. Every conceivable plan is being
concocted tt OtherthrOw us. Many
schemes some of you little think of are
now trying to be worked to get you
divided. Our opponents well know
that should the miracle of justice be
displayed they would be left In a hope
less minority when the election comes
on, unless they can get up a division
among US. Even now in this county
circulars with no signatures, but pur
porting to come from the Alliance hall,
have been sent out with the names of
several persons printed thereon, claim
ing that these were their choice candi
dates of the Peoples party for the diff
ferent county Offices.
The circulars were headed thus:
Look to Jesus!" Now we have no
idea that these circulars were gotten
up by the Alliance or even by true
friends of reform outside. Now as to
the names suggested some, we think,
will do very we'll and we endorse them,
out part of them don't even pretend to
belong to the Peoples party. This lets
out the secret. Don't be deceived but
keep posted by reading reform litera
ture. OF course you take THE Pro
GREssIvE FARMER and the Caucasian.
You must take these and then as many
more as you can, and when you read
them through hand over to your neigh
Dor and try to get him to subscribe.
l close by saying please find enclosed
81 rs to renew my subscription to The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER, and please send

NASHVILLE. Nash Co, N. @.
Mr.. EDITOR:-By permission I pen
you a few lines to let you and your
many readers hear how we hay seed
ers," are getting along in old Nash. Of
course the first thing in order will be
to give a short account of our last
County Alliance meeting, as l would
hardly know how to proceed without
first taking the Alliance il to consider,
alton. We really expected this to be
one of the largest and best represented
meetings we have had in some time
and no doubt would but for two
reasons, viz: There was a misunder-
standing about brother W. S. Barnes
speaking in Nashville on Jan. IL, as
published. Our regular meeting was
the 18th, but owing to the inclemency
of the weather the meeting was post
poned until next day. The meeting
was not changed t Nashville, as some
thought, but was held with Atlantic
Sub Alliance, No 662. Brother Barnes
was sick and could not be with us, but
J. T. B. Hoover. our Assistant State
Lecturer, did not fail to be there, nor
did he fail to hold his audience spell
bound with his many convincing
truths for one and one half hours. Bro.
II. is too well known by all to need anv
complimentary words from any one.
After the speaking we all were in,
vited and partoOk of another one of
those elegant dinners, just such a one
as our good Alliance sisters know how
and always prepare. Many thanks to
those brethren, sisters and community
for their grand and hospitable recep-
ton.
After dinner the Alliance was called
to order and opened In due form by the
President, V. B. Garter. After the
regular routine of business the Alliance

which was to the point and very inter
esClng to the brethren. After reading
the letter we went through our regular
form of business, and had the pleasure
of initiating a brother. The Business
Agent for .sBlOOmery was appointed,
and the prospects are they will soon be
doing business with our State Agent.
They are all very solid and determined
members.
One of our visiting brothers wanted
to know if the Democrats could pre-.
vent Alliancemen from meeting in pub

cratic school committeeman Will not

Mr.. EDITOR Providence Alliance,

a day for a big rally to be held on Feb
Gath. Prof. N. G. English was secured
as the speaker of the o ,ca4ion, and, in
company with Bro. J. g. Frazier and
the writer, all of Trinity, he arrived at
the place of meeting to find a very re
spectacle audience, Notwithstanding
the very cold weather. Bro. Frazier
opened the way by a speech of about
80 minutes, giving many solid facts in
"A forceful, convincing manner. Prof
English followed In a most effectual
ex EXPOSITION of the cardinal principles of
the Farmers Alliance for nearly an
hour and 80 minutes, well received
throughout. The public exercises
closed by a ten minutes exortation
from the writer of this report
This Alliance is in good condition and
will, no doubt, derive much additional
strength from this occasion. 1t was
encouraging to witness the life mani
tested by the brethren at Providence.
We we're tenderly cared for by the
brethren through the terrible blizzard
of Sunday, the 25th, and pulled for
home on Monday. May God bless the
work. Yours fratPrnally,

WHAT WE, AS A BODY, NEED.

Mr. EDIToR:-The first thing we
need to get our country into better cir
cumstances, is to get our friends and
neIghbOrs together, 10 work for the ad
vancement Of this great reform move
ment. The principles of the Farmers
Alliance have been discussed until it
seems to me that you all ought to un
derstand what 1t meant when you hear
the word Alliance. You know it means
two or more that have made un agree
ment, or have been united together for
some kind of purpose; and while we
know the farmers have made no agree
ment and united in a body of people
who are going to work for their own
interests we should all, not only the
men, but the ladies as well, give them
hearty c. operation.
Some say that the ladies should not
have anything at all to do with the Al
lance, but | think that whatever is i'm
porCanE to the men is also of great in
terest to the ladies. Why then should
they not do all in their power to help
carry on this great workf Is it not
their duty to help their husbands.
father or brother, as the case may be,
and if they have neither, then it is their
duty to try to help themselves. Then,
my friends, we need the CO operation
of each sex, and all classes of people.
Whatever will benefit the farmers will
also benefit the merchants, the bank
ers, railroad men and all other classes;
for if the farmers get nor money they
will surely get o also. If the free
coinage of silver will help the farmers
it is very plain that it will help others.
We need morem money in circulation SO
we can get ore for our produce that
we may be able to pay off the debts
that have been hanging over the homes
of the poor laborers of our country
and when that is done we shall be more
able to trade with other classes. and
pay their large percentage, thereby
them a fair living also.
Then they should turn over and help
us: we need their assistance and with
it the day is near at hand when we
may shout and praise our worthy lead
ers more than we ever have done. We
need reform at present more than we
ever have; and, brethren and sisters,
r at a point where, if we be-
come discouraged and let our Order go
down, you have not seen or realized
any hard times to what you may then
feel. So then arise and do your duty,
ever pressing onward with bravery
and courage, new giving up the fight
the victory is won. We need
men who will ever be ready and willing
TO go where duty calls them; and when
the Farmers Alliance is composed of
only such members as are willing to
DO their duty we will see many good
Then, dear friends, be up and
help your brother and sister
this hard struggle and you
shall reap a just reward for your faith
tulness.
Then, my brother, my sister and my
friend, take courage; the reform press

spondent by saying, il you mean tina
Mr.. Jones can beat me for Office, that
depends upon the number and shret1d-
ness of the rOgues you have behind
him; provided W. judge the future by
the past, for | beat him at nearly every
precinct In the county IN which he was
born and raised until we struck the
town of Winston, where they saw that
all of Mr.. Jones' 'largeness, stOutnees
and good looks" were not sufficient to
pull him through and hence that city
made itself famous, not By favor1ng a
free ballot and a fair count, but my re
sorting K trickery and fraud that has
put a stain oR her once fair name that
will remain there for generations to
come. But l suppose that the Tyro
correspondent approves of such steal
ing ard thinks the like theft could be
committed again to help GU his
champion Mr.. Jones. And Mr.. TyrO
Correspondent, you should remember
that with all the unfairness used, |
beat your champion in my own county
800 votes, and made but a small can
vass at that. So if you want Mr. Jones
to put me lin my hole, you had better
see to it that a god set of rogues are
behinl him to steal about as many
votes as Mr.. Jones a get.
But if you cannot get enough votes
that way. I think if you can manage
81 as to be one of the returning board.
you can make it pan out all o. K. for
Mr.. Jones anyway, Judging from your
