IN JOHNSTON COUNTY.
State Lecturer Gates Tells of q Success
full Tour In Behalf of the Farmers
Alliance.

Messrs. Editors Il have just re-
turned home from a very pleasant
and successful trip to Johnston
County. On the morning of Novem-
Der 10Th we boarded the train at
Mebane and ran down to Selma,
where we secured a conveyance and
drove out to Smithfeld, the county,
seat of Johnston. We found here a
goodly number of farmers from the
different sections. About - o'clock
the courthouse bell was rung and a
number of farmers gathered in the
court room, and we proceeded to tell
them about our mission among them,
about the old Farmers Alliance and
it's hopes and prospects.
After the speaking was over we
were driven some ten miles south
east to the splendid home of L. F.
Peedin. Here we found peace and
plenty, song and sunshine, and all
that goes to make a happy home.
On Monday following we met a
large number of farmers and their
wives, sons and daughters at Fork
Greek school-house, and we tried to
tell them about the good Offices of
the Farmers Alliance. When we
left there Fork Creek Sub numbered
more than fifty members, composed
of the staunchest farmers, their
wives, SONS and daughters-fair
young ladies and gallant young men.
This was a meeting to be proud of.
| look for one hundred members here
soon.
From here we went to Florence,
Kenly, Watkins Chapel, Moore's
Cross Roads, and on Saturday, 26th,
we met a great crowd at Jerome ::
here we had time to be remembered.
1 think we left there more than one
hundred members. Then we went
out and spent Saturday night and
Sunday with our good friend, Ran
som Butler, where we had a good
time.
Monday, 28th, we started out again
and visited Live Oak, Archer Lodge,
Thanksgiving, Springs and Buffalo,
and left a good, strong Alliance at
each of these places. Our success
was simply great. There was a wave
of influence put in motion that will
grow and widen and spread until
well, no man can tell where it will
stop.
Isnever have met kinder or more
hospitable people; their doors we're
thrown wide open and a welcome
given that might be spelled with capi-
tai letters. Notable among them was
w. A. T. Durham, J. S. Atkinson,
A. D. Atkinson, Capt. Renfroe, J. S.
Stancil, Henry Stancil, Wiley Bat
ten, j. Murphy, Capt. James Barnes,

well. Here we found the old father
Broadwell upwards of ninety years
old, stout and hale as a prize fighter,
who bids fair to live many more
years, and numbers of others. To
all these, and especially the fair Ia
dies of these good homes, we make
our best bow, and throw to you a
bouquet of mountain roses as token
of our love and kind remembrance
of you.
And lastly, let me say to those who
agreed to renresent The Progressive
Farmer in their Sub Alliances-do

CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-Decreased receipts
in the Northwest formed the principal
reason for a firm wheat market here to-
day. At the close May wheat showed
gain of 1zc. Corn is up NC. Oats are
unchanged Provisions are up &c to 10c.
Wheat
The wheat market showed greatest
strength soon after the opening. On a
good demand from commission houses and
local shorts sentiment at the start was
bullish. Initial quotations on May were
up 1sc to Nc at $1.105s to 81. II. The
main cause of the urgent demand was
sharp falling off in receipts in the North
west. Another factor that entered into
the situation, however, was a decrease in
the amount on passage, together with q
decrease in worlds shipments. notice
able feature of the statistics of the
worlds movement was the smallness of
shipments from Russia. Advices from
Minneapolis told of a good demand for
cash wheat.
still further until they sold up to 81. 1115
For a time the market held firm, the
strength being apparently due more to
scarcity OF offerings than to any great
demand. Bullish reports concerning the
condition of the wheat crop in Kansas
helped to support prices. Late in the
day sentiment became somewhat easier
on profit taking and on selling brought out
supply. The weekly report of a Clnc1n-
natl trade journal was also construed as
being slightly bearish. According to this
authority the SHOWS and rains of the
past week have afforded the wheat crop
partial relief from the prevailing drought.
While the ground is still dry, existing con-
ditions on the whole We're claimed to be
quite favorable. After a reaction to

mary receipts were l O33 500 bu, compared

of 781 cars, against 1882 cars last week
and 967 cars year ago.
Corn
Considering the enormous total receipts,
the corn market had a fairly firm tone

of business was comparatively light A
feature of trading was the approximate
equality in value of the May and Decem-
