The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-08-18

full humanity may find in Jesus a
friend such as they can find in no
n else, for he alone can save from
sin and death.
There is no other friend so help
full as the friendship of Jesus, for
he gives us daily strength for daily
needs; help for the special emergen-
cies which come into our lives; help
at all times and under all circum-
stances; and, best of all, help,
through his ~redeeming grace, so that
we may safely pass through the
"valley of the shadow of death" in
to the light of his glorious presence
forever.

Granville County Alliance Organized,
Editor Of The Progressive Farmer:

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
On Friday, August 7th, a meeting
was, held in Oxford for the purpose
of reorganizing the Farmers Al
lance in Granville County. There
was with us at this meeting Mr.. Il.
M. Gates, of Alamance County, who
previous to this, had been engaged
in the work of organizing sub Al
liances in our county. We have now
seven lodges, of which five we're rep
resented at this meeting.
A county organization was effect
ed by the election of the following
officers:
President and Business Agent
J. F. Cole.
Vice-President.-S. w. Knott.
Secretary-Treasurer-D. G. Brum-
mitt.
Chaplain.-D. N. Hunt.
Lecturer.-R. w. Hobgood.
Assistant Lecturer.-D. N. Hunt.
Doorkeeper.-H. @. Gill.
Assistant Doorkeeper-J. P. Buch-
anan.
While our membership is small as
yet, we hope to increase it very ma
terially in the near future. Mr..
Gates is coming back in a short while
to do more work in our county.
And in this connection permit us
to say this of Mr~Cates: wherever he
went he impressed our people as
qualified in an eminent degree for
the work he has in hand. With his
fine humor, good "horse sense" and
infectious enthusiasm he will sue
ceed where others fail. We hope
to have him with us again, and we
assure him of a welcome whenever
he may come.
Another thing, our members are
determined to keep the Alliance out
of politics, and we serve notice on all
broken-down politicians that they
need not apply for positions at the
head of the procession or up in the
amen corner.
We welcome farmers of all par
ties, but we want to make of the Al
lance a strictly farmers organiza-
ton. d. @. BRUMMITT.
Secretary.

David and Jonathan.
q Samuel 90: 1929

Golden IeXt.-Ihere Is a 1rlend
that sticketh closer than a brother.
proverbs 18:24.)
In the lesson before us we have a
beautiful illustration of friendship,
and we may properly inquire at the
very outset of u study what are
the essential elements of the tie
which subsists between those who are
true friends.
Friendship involves a feeling of
mutual esteem. We must cherish a
high regard for the one whom we call
a friend, and his character must
merit our admiration, if our friend
ship is to be permanently enrolling.
True friendship calls for the larg-
est sympathy between those who en-
ter into its sacred precincts. This
sympathy must be wide and deep, ex-
tending to all the varied experiences
of human life, and blending all inter
ests into me-.
The browning feature of every true
friendship is love. This is the ele-
ment which imparts to the bond be-
tween two friends it's sublimest and
most divine characteristic. True
friendship is unselfsh. GA three
fold cord is not quickly broken" and
those friendships which are founded
upon esteem, sympathy and love will
not be easily dissolved.
Two Kindred Spirits.-The at
tachment between David and Jona-
than was of a romantic character and
furnishes one of the most striking
and beautiful instances of human de-
votion to be found through the whole
range of human history. The three
elements of friendship were present
In a marked degree in their case, and
they furnish a most attractive exam
pie of fidelity under the most trying
and untoward circumstances.
Their mutual admiration was un-
bounded; their sympathy in each 9th
er's welfare was tender and unstint-
ed; their love was generous and UNI
selfish, almost beyond our compre-
hensiOn.
The Best Friendship.-In the
friendship of David and Jonathan
we find a type of a higher and bet,
ter friendship than any earthly at,
tachment can afford.
The best friend that humanity has
ever known is the Lord Jesus Christ
He is the "friend that sticketh closer
than a brother"
Jesus was the tenderest of friends
to those who became his immediate
disciples during his earthly ministry
He is still the friend of all his dis
ciples. Every follower of the Mas
ter may have the blessed privilege
of knowing him as the friend tina
sticketh closer than a brother, anC
may feel that the words which Chris
addressed to his apostles are Spoken
also to him.
Jesus. is the friend of all mankind
The high and the lowly, the rich anC
the poor, the wise and the ignorant
the young and the old, the sinful, tn,
fallen and the needy ones, all condi
tiOns and classes of suffering and sin

 ERNoR TO-DAY.
Conference at Capitol Will Decide Whether Alabama National Guard Goes to Chickamauga,
 or Comes to Montgomery.

The question of the summer practice camps for the Alabama National Guard, a question in which all the members of the State militia are vitally interested will be settled today by a conference of regimental officers with Governor Jelks Adtutant General w. W. Brandon and Quartermaster General Barry l.. Holt
 The conference will be held to determine the wishes of the members of the Ala bama National Guard as to encampments The Governor will. however, make the final decision of the encampment ques- tion. The other officers will have only advisory powers in the conference.
 The principal question to be settled to- day is whether the Alabama commands shall camp at Chickamauga or in Ala bama. If the State troops camp in Ala bama they will undoubtedly be brought to Montgomery for encampment at Pick ett's Spring.
 If it Is decided that the troops are to camp in Alabama the question of a bri- gade or a regimental camp will be dis cussed. The regimental officers will reg ister their preference on this question, but as with the other matters. the Governor Is the final arbiter.
 The conference will meet today at noon in the office of the Adjutant General Colonel R. B. duMont of the Ist Infantry, Colonel B. H. Graves of the End Infantry, Lieutenant Colonel F. P. Mcconnell of the 3rd Infantry, Major J. T. Beck of the Cavalry, Major s. T. Westcott of the Ar tillery and a number of other officers of the National Guard are expected to at- tend the conference.

TWO LITTLE MAIDS.

TWO LITTLE MAIDS. There were two maids, two dainty little maids, Who played in the game of life. And one of these maids, one dainty little maid
 Was the cause of ceaseless strife. The first little maid, demure little maid, Had tales of her friends to tell; Her pretty little tongue was rasping little tongue; Their frailties she told too well The other little maid, the sweet little maid,
 Carried sunshine without regret. When she told tales they were harmless little tales They caught no one in their net. And the sweet little maid. the happy lit- tie maid,
 Had suitors as years passed away: But the other little maid, who was care- less what she said, Continued her gossiping way. So the bright little maid. the honest little maid,
 Is happy with a man she met, And the dainty little maid, whose stories made 'em 'fraid- We'll, she is gossiping yet.

Tons will also. be shipped to other smell ters from all parts of the property in order that thorough tests may be made. The stockholders of the De Soto are Rl- ready convinced that they have bo- nahza. but they are prudent men and will move cautiously. All the assays made have shown the ore to be of sur prising richness, but these assays have been from small quantities of orc. and a more thorough test has been deemed advisable. If these latter tests show up as we'll, or comparatively so, the com pany will then purchase the necessary mining machinery and proceed to mine 1t in the most modern way.
