WAKE COUNTY.
A J. MOVE

Wake County Alliance met at Holly
Springs on the 10Th and 11th of this
month. Transacted a good deal of i'm
portant business looking to the better
ment of the Subs of the Alliance in gen
eral. Ever thing looks brighter and
more promising for the future.
On the second day we had quite a
love feast. Brother r W. Sossaman
and others gave us able address es, and
we had quite a goodly number of the
brethren present, and we believe much
good was accomplished.
Among other things looking to the
good of our people, was the Inaugural
ton Of q better and more approved
system for raising funds for our fac
tory, which we determined must be
started at no distant day.
I6 is due the brethren of Holly
Springs, to say that delegates and
members all Jared sumptuously, both
as to eatables and lodging, and return
their grateful thanks to the good people
of that township. Elk.

A CULINARY WONDER.
Oct. II. 1895

A wonderfully ingenious, yet simple
and inexpensive device for seeding
raisins may be purchased at the hard
ware and general stores. 1t is the En-
terprise Raisin Seeder. Made in two
sizes, the smaller or family size will
seed a pound in five minutes, while the
larger size, intended for hotels, etc,
will seed a pound a minute. Though
it will seed either wet or dry raisins it
is better to wet them. The washing
that every careful housekeeper insists
upon will wet them sufficiently, when
ne seeder will remove every seed
without a particle of waste.
No one who has ever used n Of
these eeeders would be without it.
They are made by the Enterprise
Manufacturing Company, Third ard
Dauphin SITS Philadelphia, the manu-
facturers of the Enterprise Meat Chop
per and other time and labor saving
machines for domestic and culinary
use. A catalogue-sent free by mail
upon application-describes and illus
trates these various devices. 1t will
repava anyone to write for it.

AUCTION SALE OF THOROUGH,
BRED STOCK.

Oflate years public sales of thorough
bred stock, especially hogs, have be-
come quite popular and would un-
doubtedly be more so If it we're not for
the travelling and other expenses con
nected with attending them, which in
many cases amount to as much as the
cost of the stock purchased.
Mr.. Willis Winery, of Salem, Ohio,
has originated and put into practice a
plan that does away with the Objec
tions mentioned and still retains the
desirable features of an auction sale
He issues q descriptive catalogue aCcu-
rately describing each animal; bidder
sends in his bid by mail. bidding on
any animal or more than he is in need
of. If your bid is successful the stock
will be shipped to your express Office,
and it as described you settle with the
express agent for it. You make no
mistake bidding on this stock unless
you bid 50 low as to fail to get it.
His Offering consists of 800 head i'm
proved Chester White swine and g.
large invoice of Holstein and Jersey
cattle and several hundred head thor
oughbred poultry.
The swine offered are of various ages
and it ia perhaps the largest sale of
thoroughbred hogs ever made by one
individual or firm. This is perhaps
the largest herd in existence of thor
oughbred hogs and it's fair record is
unexcelled. having won largely at the
Worlds Columbian Exposition, and
later achieved the title Of THE Worlds
Champion Herd" by winnings at the
best State fairs in the United States.
Many Worlds Columbian and State
fair winners and their descendants are
offered in this sale.
The Jersey and Holstein offerings
are of first quality and the poultry of
the best leading varieties Mr.. Winery
has held three sales on this plan which
resulted satisfactorily to himself and

fourth sale in this issue.

have not been much benefited indi

and en- ~ the comfort of having aided
as important a movement.
The Importance of having a good
lecturer come to BERTHE was forcibly
urged, and l presume our secretary,
Brother A, J. Cobb, will correspond
with President Thompson to know if
he will not give us the benefit of his
gifts as a speaker and his influence as
u honorable president, Am sure
some kind of lecture system would be
beneficial to the organization in our
county, but our body is too poor or,
proper interest is not shown by the
Subs to put the matter in operation.
Our membership in the county, though
not as large as formerly is composed
mainly Of true blue Alliancemen, and
will be sure to respond to roll-call
still we need more enthusiasm and a
visit from DE-. Thompson, or some
good Alliance speaker, would arouse
US and cause more spirit and zeal

GEN. HARRIsON's LITERARY
WORK
To Write Articles for Women, on "This
Country of Ours"

To Write Articles for Women, on "This
Country of Ours"
1t is announced that Elk President
Benjamin Harrison is engaged in writ
ing q series of magazine articles for
The Ladies' Home Journal, in which
periodical they will begin in the Dec m
Der number. The series will be called
''This Country of Ours" and will con-
sist of ten articles and probably more.
The papers are being written by Gen
eral Harrison especially for women, to
meet a growing, widespread desire on
their part to intelligently understand
the WORKINGS of our G Dvernment and
the great National questions. 1t will
ne the aim of the articles to explain in
the clear and concise style for which
the TX PresIdent is famous, just what
the United States Government means +,
the origin and meaning of the Constr
tuition how laws are enacted and en-
forced; what the powers of the Presi-
dent and other officials are; what the
Judiciary system means; how our for
eign relations are brought about and
their meaning; how Congress and the
Senate legislate-in fact, a complete
explanation of the @ Hvernment told in
a popular way. General Harrison
writes the articles from the standpoint
OF q citizen who understands his sub
ject. They have no bearing on politics
whatever. While directly intended foI
women, the articles will naturally have
a much broader scope and likewise in
terest men, and especially young men.
