I claim shat while I have taught a
dozen or more kinds of arithmetics,
Sanford's are the best. The rules
are thorough and comprehensive,
and the analytical features r I'M

Maury's Biographies. Their author
was d gr at traveller, a close OBJ
server, d ripe scholar, and in every
way equipped to furnish the best
books Tor all grades that l have seen.
The successor, Mytton F. Maury, is
keeping the work up the high stand
ard doubtless designed by tie OLD
Comm dore, and that q par ex-

United States History. By history
we do not mean u gloritication OF
heroes, or a pandering to any Sec
ton. Truth is indispensable, and
this author seems t. be Conscien-
tious. The work is neat, good type,

inspire love of country and devotion
to the flag.

they missed u pleasant day with
good people, an Alliance meeting
that did excellent work, and a dinner
which proved that the ladies of that
section need no instruction in the
art of cooking. A great many peo-
pie still believe with Owen Meredith /:
1--WE may live without poetry, music,
and art;
We may live without conscience we
may live without heart
We may live without friends we
may live without books;
Bat civi lied man cannot live with
out cooks"
In sending their dinners, the ladies
did well, now let them go a step
further and become regular members
of the Order.
To sum up, we found a good coun-
try and Il good people. The farmers
in that section have good schools,
the farm houses are neat and attrac-
tive in appearance, and there are
many evidences of up-tO-date farm
ing. We found only one man not a

WAKE COUNTY ALLIANCE.

Wake County Farmers Alliance
met in regular session with White
Oak Sub at Green Level Church, in
the western part of the county, last
Thursday, 18th. Considering the
busy season the attendance was
good, all Subs. except one being rep
resented.
At one time, early in the session,
it appeared that only routine bust
ness would be transacted, but this
idea was soon exploded. We haven't

silence, after which some one moves
to adjourn. Such cold, lifeless
meetings few organizations can out

affecting the educational, agricul

community and let it be discussed.
Put some life into your meetings. At
Green Level the entering wedge
came in the shape of d resolution to
endorse Representative McLoan's
plan for establishing d fertilizer fac
tory at the State Penitentiary, 'to
be managed by its au .horities and to
sell directly 10 the farmers" This
was opposed by brethren w. B. Up
church, ". II. Worth and others.
The upshot of the matter was that
the plan was merely recommended
for discussion in other County Ali
ances.
How to build up the Order: With
sincere Alliancemen this is always a
matter for discussion. 1t was so
here. The prevailing opinion seemed
to be that the Sub. meetings should
be made as attractive as possible,
and that the ladies should be urged
to take an active part in Alliance
work. More attention, too, should
be given to the secret work of the
Order practice until you become
familiar with it and it4 value and
beauties will become apparent. The
Business Agency should also be lib
orally patronized.
In the afternoon the writer, by re
quest, explained the rural school
library act recently passed by the
Legislature. Short talks upon the
same subject we're also made by
brethren g. E. Beavers, w. B. Up
church, and j. S. Upchurch. And
the brethren present showed their
faith by their works-a subscription
was started which met so hearty a
response that we feel sure the requi-
site sun has been raised in full be
fore this writing. A resolution was
adopted as follows:
ReSOLUed, That the Wake County
Alliance hereby endorse the rural
school library act of the recent Leg
islature.
,. That we ask the next General
Assembly to remove the restriction
limiting the plan to six schools in
each county, thus giving the priv
lege to all alike.
Other interesting subjects were
discussed. Altogether the meeting
was quite successful, and it was good
to be there. A larger number of
representatives of other Subs. should
have been present by their absence

From giving earth another drink,

The streams are flooded now. they say,
And all, clear sky are wishing.
But then they ought to understand
How Noah went a fishing.
All, why not give them now enough
To a long while be lasting,
So when a dry spell comes around.
And they begin contrasting.
They can, of all the water think
That earth before was drinking.
And can rejoice that in the wells.

out Of every hundred, in that no one
knew the amount given by an
other, under the system adopted.
and in about the same pro-
portion of instances the ladies
working in behalf of a worthy cause
did not know the donors, either by
name or sight. And, secondly, it was
not the giving of aims, in the sense
that word is generally accepted and
interpreted but a public donation of
funds, through an original and popu-
lar method, for the aid of an institu-
ton that has and will continue to be
a boon to many unfortunates in this
community, and the aid of which may
at any hour be invoked by any citizen,
whether a contributor to it's funds or
not. Tom, Dick and Harry may have
given freely and gladly yesterday, ex-
pecting nc reward, and no one knows
the amount; but John, Will and Jim
may meet with misfortune tomorrow
through accident or sickness, and to
them the doors of the hospital will be
opened, and good will have been ac-
complished. We take it that no one
of the purchasers of the little crosses
yesterday went about the city pro-
claiming the amount of his contribu-
ton, but that, on the contrary, none
Of them let his right hand know what
his left had done, to say nothing of
allowing his friends and neighbors to
know. The criticism was both unjust
and ill-timed.

God made the rose time of the year, the
June
OF realized bud and poisoning fulfilled;
Ger all the land His fragrance He
spilled.
And taught each bird a newer, gladder
tune.
He heaped upon the earth the radiant
boon
OF rose on rose, till each sad corner
thrilled
With fragrancing. and all it's woes were
stilled;
Then over all He set the jewel moon,
And flashed the silver stars across the
sky.
So all the gracious glory of the year
Created He. and knowing 1t must die
And earth again must know dark days
and drear,
He fashioned it a symbol, and there
grew
Beneath His fingers the dear form of you!
