The audiences were not as large as I wish they had been, nor as they would have been had there been longer notice given or. tne ap pointments. Yet 1 nope gooa win re. sfilt as thfl audiences were composed M interested hearers. Bro. Meacham is doing a good work on the right line under the auspices oi our county Executive Committee. Our brethren need to be informed and stirred upon the vital issues that are pending and so soon to fix the destinies of the masses of our laboring and wealth producing people. This information and. stimulus must be given by the few newspapers that are published in the interest of this class of people and by lectures, and we have so many non-reading citizens we must rely much upon sober, sound, sensible speeches to do the work and induce people to read more and think and act more wisely for themselves. ;J hope the people of Wake county will not fail to hear our brother in his further fulfillment of appointments. Yours fraternally, - H. W. IN ORRIS. AN ESSAY. Delivered by the Worthy Assistant Lecturer, Sister Lizzie A. Marshbum, Before the Catharine Lake Lodge, No. 241, of Onslow County, Sept. 7, 1889. Mb. President, Brethren and Sisters: I reckon T must say some thing to-day, but it will be dry and uninteresting, as usual; nevertheless, I am full to the brim of the Alliance, but cannot express myself. I can go to a certain extent: I just tell you I am so thankful I belong to this grand and noble unioD,.I cannot express my delight. WheD I hear this noble word "Alliance," I wonder if it takes the same effect on everybody alike. I am sure if it did all would be more punctual in attending the meetings. Why is it that the farmer and labor ing class generally, have got no self will or resolution of their own ? It is a great mystery to me; there are some exceptions, but as a general rule they have been ever ready to link their destinies with any political aspi rant who can get up and deliver a flowery address of misrepresentations -with a few anecdotes in to please their fancy; but let a brawny-handed farmer with good hard practical sense get up and talk business without the anec dotes, and he is put down as a dull and stupid old dunce. How is it that so many stay away? -Because we have no flowery orator. There are some members who have never been here since we changed our meeting place. Will not some one ask those brethren and sisters if they would not like to come to our Alliance meeting one time more ? I tell you, brethren , and sisters, we ought to have self-will and be a persevering, go ahead people; not wait for one another. Suppose we all were to pull back and wait, do you thinks we would ever accomplish anything ? What do people join the Alliance for if they do not intend to come ? I tell you, my friends, it is like excuses about going to church: they say, " I would go if I had a new dress or new pants; my hat is torn; my face is too poor and wrinkley; I am too ugly; I haven't shaved; I don't feel like in fact I can't get . ready in time." And just such excuses are continually being made. Is it to show our new clothing that we are here? Sure we are not here for such pur pose as that; if so, I am really sorry for all in the great Hereafter. Of course I am glad to see as many out to-day; we must work the harder and learn the more. There is something for each one of us to do; so don't be idle, but be up and doing; "work while it is yet day, for -the night cometh when no man can work." We have a great many- young men. in our country who are farmers and laboring .men's sons. What do they know of this life, and what do they think of ? Why, they just think of getting a wife. Well, what kind of a man is he ? what is his profession ? does he belong to this great body the Alli ance ? Yes, he belongs to the Alli ance; he is a very industrious and in telligent young man, hard-working, brawny hands, sunburnt and care worn; he is a farmer who tills the great soil, t and his cash is there, his purse is heavy, and if he is out of money, he has something to sell to get his dollar. What kind of a wife does he want and need ? Why, of course he wants one who knows how to , work to advantage; one who will help . him . and not be a burden and who has a loving disposition, one who will1 give him a cheering smile and a word of comfort. " " Brethren and sisters, do you find such as these every day ? I tell you they are hard to find. We must try to cultivate these good traits of char acter, and beware of hard feelings to ward our fellow-men. Let us come together as a unit and say "united we stand, divided we fall." So let us be up and doing and try to . leave some works of remembrance behind. We may not become famous as statesmen or writers, but if we will we may make our lives true and worthy and noble, for. 11 Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, " And departing, leave behind us Foot-prints on the sands of time. Oh, how noble that would be ? -Now let each one of us try to do our duty; let us ask God to help us 'in this blessed work; ask him in faith and with all our hearts; He will not hear us if we turn from Him when he bids us come; He loves us stilly " One heart encircle all that live And blesses great and small, And mee it i that each should give His little to the all." By order of the Executive Committee of Wake county Alliance, in conformity to a resolution passed in the County Alli ance, August 23d, 1889, D. P. Meacham will lecture at the following Sub-Alliances on the principles and purposes of the Alliance, the condition and depression of the producing classes, and remedy, on the days as' follow : Eagle Rock, Roelnborg, -Social Plains, Samaria, 1 , Little Rock, Garner, Mackling Springs, Holly Springs, Thomas Creek, Tuesd'y,Sept24,10 " Wed'dy, " 25, 11 Th'rady, " 26,1 p.m. Fridav, " 27,1 " Satnrdy " 28, 11 a. m.

If you write to the State Secretary, the Business Agent, the Trustee, the Presi dent or the Chairman of the Executive Committee, do so under seal of your Alli ance, now can these cmcers know that you are a member of the Alliance, except when you write under seal? This is busi ness, brethren. The seal is your protection against imposition. Use it. NOTICE.
