IMPORTANT NOTICE.

I desire to call the attention of the
members of the Alliance who have
still, notes and unpaid accounts for fer
t%ilizer, to the fact that the Durham
Fertilizer Company have been ex-
tremely lenient with them during the
financial depression, and have waited
on the Alliance people and have car
ried their notes and accounts in a time
when it was extremely i-nconvenient to
them, and caused them many hard
ships, but they did this with the pur
pose of protecting and helping the ALI
ance brethren when they sorely needed
this help. Brethren, you nov have
your crops on hand, and while these
products may be very low, you owe it
to yourselves, to your Alliance and to
the company, to pay at once all that is
due for fertilizer. Let me beg you and
insist that you will at once send to the
company any. sums that you may be
due them. They must have this money
to furnish usfertilizer again this spring,
and a payment to them now e a
credit to you again in the spring. So
do not delay another day, but send the
money to them at once. This is i'm
portant and must be attended to at
once.
We are going to furnish you the same
high grade goods that we have done
heretofore, and do all we can to accom-
modate you this year, but to get this
favor you must pay up what you owe
Fertilizers are ready for shipment
now for the spring trade, and you can
send in your order.

before killing. Ali poultry, but more
especially turkeys, should be killed by
bleeding in the neck, and picked while
the body is warm; and in no case
should poultry be scalded; wet-picked
poultry is not wanted in this market,
and will not sell for what it is really
worth. AS soon as the poultry is
picked, take off the head at the throat,
strip the blood out of the neck, peel
back the skin a little, remove a portion
OF the neck bone, then just before pack
ing, except in warm weather, draw the
skin Over the end and tie and trim
neatly. Draw the intestines, making
the mcision as small as possible, and
leave the gizzard, heart, ETC., in. Pull
out the wing and tail feathers clean.
Undrawn poultry can be sold to a
limited extent when there is no other
to be had, provided there is no food in
the crop, Or entrails, but as a rule has
to go at very low prices.
Packing.-Poultry should be entirely
cold, but not frozen, before being
packed. If packed with the animal
heat in, it will be almost sure to spoil.
Sort your poultry carefully, and have
the No. 1 stock of uniform quality.
Pack the No. 2 stock in separate pack
ages. Ifyou have any old bull turkeys,
put them in a separate package or with
No. 2 stock. Line the boxes with clean
paper, but never use straw in packing
and wrap the birds in paper. Pack as
closely as possible, backs upward, legs
out straight. and see that the boxes are
so full that when the covers are nailed
on, there can be no possibility of the
contents shifting about. Boxes are
the best packages, and should contain
from 100 to 200 pounds. Larger boxes
are inconvenient to handle, and more
liable to get injured.

THE ALLIANCE PRODUCE tx
CHANGE.

DEAR BRETHREN The alliance Pro
duce Exchange" is open for the hand
ling of farm products. We do not
purchase your products but will sell
for you to the best advantage possible.
Write us what you have to sell and
will let you know about what we can
get for it. Eggs are higher here than
in New York and we have been getting
better prices. Think we will be able
to handle more and more as our plans
for putting only fresh eggs on market
become known. Poultry is in great
demand and we think for the next
three months if not all the summer it
will bring remunerative prices. Can
furnish shipping coops and simply
charge rent or sell them to you if de-
sired. We can handle bacon, lard,
fish, wheat, flour, corn, meal, potatoes,
&c. Prices are lower on all products
than they have been for years. We
have sent notice to all of our shippers
not to send any more eggs North for
the present as it does not pay. There
were more than 90, ZOO, 900 eggs sent
into New York last week. We will
try to handle all poultry and eggs
shipped here to your advantage. Dc
not send eggs by express unless rates
are very low.

large audience and charmed them with
his earnest, eloquent and affectionate
plea for the material development of
North Carolina. He said that slavery
and popular ignorance had retarded
the States growth. With freedom had
come free schools and material prog
ress. AS soon as North Carolina has
a free school for every square mile of
her territory, she will be as rich as
Massachusetts,. It was pronounced the
best commencement grafton every

of IL. D. was conferred upon Hon.
Hoke Smith, President J. 81. Kirkland,
of Vanderbilt University, and Judge
A. s. Seymour. The degree of D. D.

Eggs are now worth 124 to Is cts. per
dozen in Raleigh, and the prices are
looking upward. They have sold as
low as 8 cents per doz here. The prices
North do not Justify in shipping, and
if the above prices will justify our
brethren to ship here we can handle a
large number of crates it the market
should.remain as firm as it is now. The
closing exercises of the schools here
will cause many to come here and an
increased demand is expected for bal

WHY ENDORSE THE THING

But while we may regard the imme-
date future without apprehension, and
while the remoter future is rendered
secure by the now definite policy
of the government in the maintenance
of gold payments and the absolute
soundness of all kinds of government
issues, it is plain that our currency
system is extremely arbitrary and arti-
fetal and imposes on the treasury and
on the public credit a wholly unneces-
sary and very severe strain.-M Y.

mentally introduced by the North British
IA lway into a number of their carriages.
The seat Is composed of a series Of specially
manufactured steel rings knit together
and firmly stretched, the chief features
claimed being comfort and durability, al
though an important point is the facility
with which the seats can be rugged up
thereby materially expediting the process
of coach construction. This system of
metallic seating has already been used cv

abroad, with certain measure of success
