A MATTER-oF-FAcT SEED BOOK.

There is such a great similarity in
seed catalogues as a usual thing that it
~isrefreshing as well as beneficial to read
one in which plain, unvarnished facts
rule. The catalogue issued by J. J. II.
Gregory 6 Son, of Marblehead, Mass,
is a matter of-fact book in every sense
of the word and is certain to meet with
the highest appreciation from farmers
and gardeners who are working for
actual results and cannot afford to ex-
pertinent. There are no highly colored
illustrations to mislead, neither is there
exaggerated language to deceive. 1t
simply helps the farmer to get the seeds
best adapted for his needs and from
them derive the best possible results.
In a nutshell, there is nothing good left
out and nothing poor let in. To this
method of doing business is no doubt
due the increasing popularity of Greg
Ory's Seeds and the continual prosper
ity Of that famous old house. Since
1856 they have been studying the wants
of farmers and supplying them with
just what they wanted. To-day they
are the largest seed growers in New
England and have by far the largest
mail trade. In fact, it would be diff
cult to point to a section of the country
where Gregory's 8 eds are not known
and grown. They send their catalogue
to any one who plants seeds, free of
charge.

Senator Vance who CHANGED to meet
him in Florida, tells a good one as com

do it. You see if I were to go back to
North Carolina now some of my Demo
cratic constituents would be sure to
call on me to make a speech, and what
in the devil could I say2 No, I cannot
stop in North Carolina. I will go back
to Washington and take the night
train through my State. 1 hope, how
ever, that the situation will brighten
sufficiently for me to return before
many months"
We wonder when he can say any
thing. We wonder when the party is
going to walk out of itself.

THEY WERE HONEST STATES
MEN.

For the benefit of any of our friends
who may think THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER doesn't preach sound Democ-
racy and sound Republicanism, we
quote from four dead statesmen, men
who were famous and honest, and all
were elevated to the highest positions
of honor and trust.
John Q. Calhoun asked: "Why COM
pei the people to pay interest on gov
eminent credit through the banks.
when the said credit could be extended
direct to the people without INTEREST,""
Andrew Jackson said: "The CUES
tion is distinctly presented, whether
the people of the United Statas are to
govern through representatives chosen
by their unbiased suffrages, or whether
the power and money of a great cor
poration are to be secretly exerted to
influence their Judgment and control
their decisions 1t must now be deter
mined whether the bank is to have it's
candidates for all Offices in the country,
from the highest to the lowest, or
whether candidates on both sides of
political questions shall be brought
forward, as heretofore, and supported
by the usual means"
Abraham Lincoln said in 1866. Eyes.
we can all congratulate ourselves that
this cruel war is drawing to a close. It
has cost a vast amount of treasure and
blood. The best blood of the flower OF
American youth has been freely offered
upon our country's altar that the ma
ton might live. It has indeed been a
trying hour for the republic, but I see
In the near future a crisis arising which
unnerves me and causes me to tremble
for the safety Of my country. AS a re-.
suit OF the war, corporations have been
%enthrOned, and an era of corruption in
high places will follow, to proiong its
reign by working upon the prejudices

RALEIGH COFFIN COMPANY.
It Neither Buys Nor Sells Trust Collins

and Deserves Support
The Raleigh Coffin Company is out
side of the trust. 1t neither buys nor
sells trust goods. Trusts bleed you
while you live, and the coffin manufac-
turers' and undertakers' association
robs you between the sick bed and the
grave. For that reason everybody in
North Carolina ought to purchase
collins from the Raleigh Coffin Com
pany.
A representative of this paper called
in at the storerooms of the above con
Germ a few days ago. The visit salts
fed us that it is worthy of support.
They sell the finest and the cheapest
grades of collins. The prices are far
below that of any house in the State
for the same grade of goods. MI. W.
