PROM ROCKINGHAM COUNTY.

Correspondence Of The Progressive Farmer.
I write to inform the brother Al
|Hancemen throughout the State that
Rockingham Alliance is not dead, but
extends greetings Of good will and
brotherIy love to all friends OF the
cause of reform everywhere.
The last meeting of our County Al
lance met with Salem Sub Alliance.
Owing to some misunderstanding and
the very busy season, the attendance
was not as large as was expected, but
we had a very good meeting.
Prof. F. s. Blair, of Guilford College,
was with US and gave US a splendid
address, which was highly enjoyed by
us all. Both the intellectual as well as
the inner mar had a feast. The follow
ing brethren were elected to fill the va
rious offices for the ensuing year:
Delegate to State Alliance, J. @.
Lasley; alternate, w. g.. Terry; presi.
dent, D. W. Hudson; vice president,
G. T. Davis; secretary treasurer, ]. G.
Lasley chaplain. J. W. Hundley; lee
turer, J. A. Walker assistant lecturer,
J. W. Haynes; door keeper, G. R.
Wright; assistant door keeper, T. l..
Duke; sergeant-at arms, r. T. Garrell;
executive committee, A. j. Hudson, j.
w. King and J. 81. Bailey.
The next meeting of the County AL
lance will be held with Gross Keys
Sub Alliance Saturday, Qsettoohhsslz 18th,
at 10 a. m. It geeii1s me no little to
see the gross Indifference on the part
ott85 laboring classes in the Farmers
Alliance, theonly organization battling
for their rights.
The more one is interested in q cause,
the more he will write and talk about
it. 1t is alarming how little is being
written and spoken about the Farmers
Alliance. Where are all of those silver
tongued orators who once followed
themselves hoarse and wept no little
for 1.-The oppressed and down trodden
farmer3"
Where is the gold pen editors who
once wrote in behalf of the peoples
cause till their very fingers took the
cramps Echo answers, where2
hone silly believe that the greatest
drawback to the Alliance to day is that
we have no recognized leader. Col.
Polk has crossed over on the other
shore and many more have either
turned traitors or have been honored
with an Office. We need some more
Folks who by their eloquence of tongue
and earnestness of soul to stir us up to
action.
1t is strange. but nevertheless true,
that whenever we honor a brother with
a paying Office. he loses in a great meas
IRE interest in the Alliance.
Now, brethren, let US not be dis
couraged and faint hearted, but let us
do our whole duty and leave the result
with the great Ruler of the universe.

Sec'Y.Treas. Rockingham Co. Alliance.

SS@1z Job ter chastize the Tribune,
which hes bin dead two months. Seems
ter me that the proper thing would
hev bin ter fight the Tribune while it
Waz a livin' reality instead ov waitin'
till it hez bin dead two months. This
reminds me ov q man waiting until
his enemy IL dead an then goes an
jumps rite on hiz grave an stamps an

The Chief Hay Saver should slow up a

hes bin gettin' slices ov pie fer Populists

without pie. He don't even allow us
Dymakrats ter pick up the crumbs that

had hoped they wouldn't force me ter

WHY IT IS SO.
A Few Reasons for the Popularity of Isaac Dreyfus Great
 Establishment

Why do people flock to the great mercantile establishment of Isaac Dreyfus to do their trading?
 Because it is the haadiest place in Pine Bluff to get into, having an entrance on both Main street and Second avenue.
 Second Because Dreyfus stock is the largest and most complete he is never just out of what you want.
 T1ird Their force of employees are always polite, corteous and alra- ble. and they take pleasure in show ing goods
 Fourth-Thc goods are sold strictly at @one price and nc favor itism is shown 10 customers.
 Rifth-The price of goods is al ways right, and sold for small profit.
 Sixth Because his motto is, "a pleased customer is the best ad- vcrtiser, and good business motto.
 Seventh-He is a firm believer in the etliacacy of printers ink and is therefore a liberal advertiser. He has found that pays, and spends much money in this way.
 Eighth His advertisements can always be implicitly relied upon When he adVertises a certain line o. goods ata certain price, you car get them for that price and tho goods will be just what they are represented
 Niuth-He is a wide-awake anC enterprising citizen, and Q credit tt Pine Bluff and has done much to es tablish the reputation of the city 1T the commercial world We are al proud of Isaac Dreyfus and his success,
