New York Is After II.

New YORK, Dec. 2S.-The move
ment in favor OF holding the next
democratic national convention in
New York, is progressing rapidly,
and most of the preliminary
arrangements have been made.
The most important one of these,
perhaps, is the securing by the
committee on finance, and arrange
ments OF an option on Madison
Square garden for the entire SUM-
mer of 1896, thus preventing the
garden being engaged for any other
purpose than that OF the conven-
tion for next sum mer.

submitted 10 them. 1hey are
painfully impressed with the gray
ity of the condition confronting the
cotton grower.
To what extent these conditions
may be traced to financial or lsgis-
lative causes it is useless to discuss
here. 1t is to the matter lying in
the immediate control of the cotton
grower himself that we apply our
selves. 1t is to each individual
planter that We must appeal. The
overproduction of cotton it is adj
rnitted on all sides, is the essential
factor in reducing the price and to
this all CT our woes must be traced.
They must be corrected. Inevita-
bic and universal bankruptcy, or a
change of method is the alterna-
tive presented. Let every inSivid-
ual bring that home to himself.
Self interest must impel him to
change. Therefore we recommend
and earnestly appeal to every cot
ton grower that he will not plant
so much cotton-a decreased acre
age of not less than twenty-five
per cent. should be made. If it
could be fifty per cent. it would be
, still better. Then and thus re.
; lieved of any cotton may be profit
ably employed in many ways,
corn, peas, clover, sorghum, pota-
toes, are profitable crops. Make
more meat, raise more stock, make
more Of everything except cotton.
Make the farm Self-sustaining.
The tide Of immigration is turn
ing southward. With it will come
new methods, new developments
. and new industries. The ultimate
. and greatest prosperity will come
when the raw material is mama
, lacu,ed in the southern states. To
bring about this the greatest Ell

members Of the organization and a
number Of invited guests. The occa-
sion was rendered very pleasant to all
present. After the installation nearly
one hundred persons were served to a
supper so bountiful that everyone was
impressed with the belief that the
Grangers were good livers besides be-
sides being full of hospitality. After
supper the company enjoyed some fine
singing by Mr.. of Land
grove, a young Swede, who sang in his
native tongue. Miss Clara Marden
also added to the pleasure Of the occa-
sion by some capital whistling.

PRICE THREE CENTS.


The Empress Eugene paid a visit
recently to Queen Victoria at Wind
sor. She is said to have looked with
almost envy on the comparatively
small number of appeals for assistance
which come into Her Majesty's hands.
The enormous post bag which reaches
marlborough is filled week after week
with appeals of all sorts, mostly from
France, and mostly iu the name of re-
ligion. The ex-royal,ies Of Europe
are practically good game for the beg
gar, be he church builder or be he the
architect of his own adventurous for
tunes.
Mrs. Algernon Sartoris is living in
America now, and has a charming
home in Washington, where she gavea
"pink tea few days since. i" She is
growing stout, and has lost none of her
early comeliness. She has two little
daughters and tall son, who is
great student and whose heroes are
Napoleon and his famous grandfather.
The eldest daughter is called Rosemary
Ellen, and is handsome girl with
golden hair and big brown eyes.
Mrs. Julia Ward Howe does not
look her age-seventy-five years. She
has the presence, the demeanor the ex-
preston, the voice and the step OF fifty.
She has handsome face; is in vigor-
orous health; gives heed to the art of
dress; she is far more lively than are
most women at her time of life. Yet
she has been writing poetry for nearly
sixty years-the poetry of beauty and
of nature, and of the emotions and of
freedom. 4

Not Insured.

1t turns out that Mr.. Bacon, who
was burned out at the North village
Jan. 2, was not insured, his policy
having expired the day before. Ba-
con claimed that he had written his
agents, Walker & Holden of Bel
lows Falls, several days before the
fire to renew the policy.
Per contra this firm says they
received such letter after the fire
dated Dec. 2S, or 29, but it was
mailed at the South village Jan. 4th.
This, if true, and we have assurance
that it is, puts bad look on the
transaction.
