Bro. W. J. McKoy, of Alliance
1 366 Elizabethtown, informs us of
the death of Bro. M. W. Tatom,
which took place on the 2d day of
August of paralysis, in the 49th year
of his age. .
nH. C. Dunn, Secretory, says Alii
ance No. 496, has been somewhat
quiet, that it " comes to the scratch
on all Alliance questions, and its
members will stand by the order if it
rubs off all the hair. .
Bro. W. C. Drake, sending money
to renew his subscription for another
year, says: "Down with monopoly.
Lay on and spare not !,--The people
will sustain you. The universal prayer
is, " God bless our leaders."
G. W. Sutton, Secretary, reports

County Farmers' Alliance Tobacco

The editor of The Pbogressive
Fabmeb will speak at the Alliance
Fair at Mill Bridge, in Rowan county

vdell county, on the next day, the 27th.
Bro. G. W. Sanderlin, our worthy
State Auditor, will also speak at Mill

have brothers D. R. Parker and W.
A. Graham with us at Gay's ChapeL
We learn through Bro. William
M. Harper, of Harper's Cross Roads,
Chatham county, that the Farmers'
Alliance in the vicinity of Richmond,
Chatham county, intends to give a
regular Alliance picnic at Richmond
Station, on the Cape Fear and Yad
kin Valley Railway, on the 27th of
this month, provided some efficient
speakers, can be procured to deliver
addresses on the occasion. The occa
sion will doubtless be pleasant and
profitable.
Bro. W. A. Graham reports the
death of Bro. J. A. Munday, Treas
urer of Machpelah Alliance, No. 430,
which occurred near Kidsville, Sept.
8th,. 1889, in the 55th year of his age.
He had never been absent from a
meeting of his Alliance since its or-,
ganization. No one in the fraternity
was more earnest in the work of the
Alliance or gave his attention more
zealously to furthering its objects.
He had been for many years a consis
tent member of the M. E. Church
South.
Secretary Barnett, of Alliance
No. 331, says there has not been much
said about it in oar organ, but it is a
fact, nevertheless, that No. 831 is
orthodox on all the important move
ments of the State and National Alli
ance; has adopted the Incorporation
Act; favors consolidation; is down on
trusts and trust bagging; has con
tributed $97 to the State Agency
Fund, with $34.50 more subscribed,
and we number on only 44 members
at that; and we don't claim to be rich
or even "good off." If all the rest
of the Subs would do half as well,
the Business Agent would go on his
way rejoicing and accomplish much
good.
Alliance No. 185, of Chatham
-county, had a picnic at Rosebud
Academy on the 5 th inst. There was
a large crowd of people in attendance.
The occasion was presided over by
Mr. C. A. Calver, and after a fervent
prayer by Rev. D. Wicker, the audi
ence was entertained with a lengthy
and interesting speech by Mr. A. W.
Wicker, literallv tearing- ur railroads
and bursting bagging trusts and all
vmer similar anti-Alliance monopolies.
At the close there was a dinner
spread upon a table about one hun
dred and fifty, feet long, which was
filled with some of all the good things
that Chatham county could afford,
and was enjoyed immensely by the
whole audience, which was one of the
post orderly and respectful gather
ings ever seen. After all had par
pen to their satisfaction, they re

speeches from several other- Alliance
members,-all of whom did credit to
themselves and the occasion. Having
had the inner man regaled with choice
delicacies, and having , been greatly
strengthened 111 tue "principles of the
Alliance, the party, before leaving for

article, in -the Farm and flume and
adopt it as being equally applicable to
the Alliance as the Grange:
This is the dull season of the year
at our national cauital and in the
legislative hallj of the , various States
cf the Union, but it should not be a
dull season out among those upon
whose actions, no w depends so much
in our country. We are apt to find
fault with our Legislatures and with
Congress, with our Representatives
and our Senators; but whose fault is
it that they do not represent us ? It
is really, the fault of the people them
selves, and as farmers are in the ma
jority they are most to blame. The
people are the great first cause
in our ; republic. The people
are nqw , making Legislators, Rep
resentatives' and Senators. In the
"caucus" or the "primary" is the be
ginning. Careful attention here, and
all's well. - Indifference) neglect here;
permitting wire pullers and the agents
of . ; corporations,, monopolies and
others, of their class to get in their
work, And the convention js not "of
the people," the candidates are not
"of the people," the Legislature is
not "of the people," and it does not
elect a United States Senator " of the
people" or "for the people," and our
legislation is not " for the people."
Think on these things, fellow-farmers,
and. help make good Legislators, Con
gressmen and Senators; then we, will
have "a government of the people,
for the people, and by the people."
Now is the appointed time.
The' position of the Grange in poli
tics is often misunderstood, often mis
represented. As an organization of
farmers it does not propose to organ
ize a grange party, or to use its in
fluence to build up any one party.
Even the discussion of partisan poli
tics is prohibited in its meetings. Yet
its principles " underlie all true poli
tics." Through its great educational
advantages it is making the farmer a
better citizen. It makes better Demo
crats, better Republicans, better men
in all parties. It is pointing out to
the farmer voter his true course of
action, that he is not only the balance
of power, but the power itself, in
all parties, and that, it. is his right,
his duty, touse that power in his own
party for the good of his class and
the good of his country. Mortimer

In reply to an inquiry how large trees
could be transplanted safely. Mr. Temple
said that it depends on how carefully
they are handled, and this is true of plants
of any size. Practically it is not often
profitable to plant trees over two inches
in diameter, and generally not over one
inch. He once planted thirty or forty
trees from ten to fifteen inches in diameter,
and they did well. They were from a
peaty soil and like pot plants.
