Further extension Of rural free mail
delivery was urged, and grangers were
asked to observe Arbor day by the
planting of trees along the highways.
More equitable taxation was advocat-
ed. The grangers also recommended
that bill be introduced into the legis-
lature which will oblige manufacturers
Of concentrated foodstuffs to put on

that some Of the agricultural societies

Whene'er a noble deed is wrought,
Whene'er is spoke noble thought,

-Longfellow.
The objects Of the grange are en-.
aobling. Its results are many a noble
deed has been wrought, and many a
noble thought spoken, and hearts and
minds and thoughts of many farmer
and farmers wife have arisen to a
higher level.
Seldshness, narrowness and back.
wardness have no place in America to-
day. The American farmer, more than
any other class, should be above these
things, and, thanks to the grange, he is
rapidly rising above them.
We are all of us students, and all
should be anxious to develop the no.
bier instincts of our natures, and no.
where else can we find so good an op-
portunity for development as in the
grange
In the great Industrial development
of the present time we observe with
more or less of concern the tremendous
organization Of capital, which will not
be stopped by public opinion and can
not be controlled by legislation. We
zee the ironclad organization of labor
which rises above the power of injunc-
ton or the force of bayonets.
In this great crisis the great middle
class, the agriculturists, 1.-The hope and
strength of the nation" inspired by
noble thoughts to the doing Of noble
deeds, can we'll band themselves into
an organization like the grange, whose
object is the; lettering of themselves
and the world.
The same forces that lead to organ
ization Of capital and impel to indus
trial union point plainly to the social,
business and fraternal cooperation of
the farmers.
AS the future of this republic depends
upon successful agriculture and a
successful agriculture depends upon a
thorough knowledge of the business
and an understanding of our relations
to each other and to the world, then it
is not so much selfish desire as pa
triotic impulse that leads us to take up
the work of the grange, and as the
grange is developed along the lines it
has marked out for itself so will there
be developed higher manhood and
womanhood. Nobler deeds will be
wrought, nobler thoughts will be spo-
ken, higher levels attained, and in the
enlightenment and general improve
ment we will share with the rest and
our reward will be sure and certain

rest saying: General, stand behind
me. They will not dare shoot me-"
Forrest prevailed upon the girl to
keep back out Of range, but she said,
you may be wounded, and it is my
purpose to keep near you" Finally
they found the ford, and while Forrest
was examining it the sharpshooters
opened fire, and several bullets cut the
ally piercing the girls spreading skirts.
''They've only wounded my crinolinew
said she, waving her sunbonnet defiant
~ at the Federals across the ravine.
Instantly the sharpshooters stopped
firing, took their own caps in hand
and waved them, with three hearty
cheers.
Forests delay at the ford gave
Streight time to reach the town Of
Gadsden and destroy the stores and
supplies and to capture fresh horses
for his men. The raider hoped to reach
Rome and destroy the bridge behind
his column so that Forrest would be
baffled in his pursuit. A detachment Of
200 men of the Fifty first Indiana rode
away to seize the bridge at Rome, and
Streight disposed the remainder Of his
force in ambush upon Blount's planta-
ton. At that point the road ran half a
mile through dense growth of young
pines, then turned sharply to the right
through an open field.
Streight barricaded the road at the
bend, compelling his pursuers to turn
into the field. Behind a ridge he con-
cealed 500 men and posted his sharp
shooters in the pines. Forrest had been
caught before by ambush and decided
to take this with rush. With dash
he cleared the barricade and rode on 50

tie time to ply their shots. Firing their
carbines and pistols right and left, the
Confederate troopers dashed for the
second line beyond the field. This
charge also carried home, and the line
gave way.
Finding that Streights men were still
undaunted and ready to dispute the
road at every point. Forrest sounded
the recall and allowed his weary troop

tage of the lull and stealthily set out
for Rome in the path of the detach-
ment sent to seize the bridge. At the
Coosa he found that the citizens had
run off the ferryboat after his advance
guard crossed, and he was compelled to
march to another crossing seven miles
distant. This unfortunate detour gave
Forrest time to cross the river and get
between the raiders and Rome.
At last it became clear to Streight and
his officers that the situation was des-
perate. The men were worn out and
slept as they rode. Many of the mules
were footsOre, and the soldiers were
obliged to walk. 1t was decided to
struggle on and if possible overtake the
detachment sent on ahead, but on the
morning Of the third day Of this run
ming fight the whole command sank un-
der hunger and fatigue. and the leader
reluctantly ordered them to rest.
Forrest after resting his men on the
late battlefield had selected 500 Of the
best and hurried on the track of the
raiders. He found them in their biv-
ouac and quickly divided his force to
surround them. Streight at once formed
his line. but some of his men dropped
asleep vi lille under fire Of the Confed-
crate skirmishers. Both leaders sent
out flag of truce. and Streight offered
to surrender If Forrest would show
that he had a superior force on the
ground. This Forrest declined to do,
