thousandu of persons, tome Patrons
but many only visitors. Ami we, as
a goa of the dear old place, cau ns
sure all who visit Charleston on that
or Bny oilier occasion a hearty greet
ing and u true SuUiheru reception.
To our friends of the North and
Went, a visit to tho South iu Fobru
rary (the begiiiin of our fprin")
will be a pleasant treat, ol which they
eanuot easily deny themselves, espec
ially when the liospitalitied of our
proud, old historic city are offered
them ; and the I'atrom of North Caro
lina, Georgiu, Florida, aid ' ot the
Southwest, will be there iu force to
ive them the fraternal "grip".
With the approtidi ot winter with
ita lyig and dreary nights tho social
features ol the Grange will show to
more advantage, lo the Graug-', in
social chut and friend'y feeling will
bo gathered men and women old and
young that were it not for this fea
ture of the Granse would rarely meet.
Then let the attendance upon tho
uiectinza be regular and large and let
your interest in the good work n"ver
wane but enter the Grange with a
light iicart and cheer! u I manner dif
fusing your clieerfuliiera upon all
Make the Grange attractive and en
tertaining and the friendly rela'ions
that these meetings would aeenre
could not tail iu making the Great
Movement for accomplishing good,
felt and acknowledged by nil. At
tend the meetings ot the Grange uot
eg a ucceasity but as a choice, an
agreealilo preference. Lay aside the
carea and trial of your every day
existence and enter the gates free
from care and with 8 determination
to forget all Bare tae way to be bap
pr and gay. Iu the abeence of all
other means for entertainment -introduce
gome general topic and let each
one preseut express his views pro
or con. This would be both instruct
ive and amusing. What lay our
friends ? .

What the Graxgkih will IJuixg
A hoot. Tho Now Vji-k Times ex
prees the following op'nion on this
subject : The Midden and brilliant
fortunes uiude by Western specula
tion will cease. Wealth must be
woa by slow uud patient industry,
and great cauiion and judgment,
Wo doubt if, this year, we h ivo tho
usual autumn stringency or panic,
liecause ol the accumulation ol capii
tul here on account of the dread o
tho Granger movements. In tia'.e, of
course, this ease of the market and
accumulation of money heco will load
to specula ion again ; but 'or many
years, in our opinion, the Grangers
will havo brought d certain calm lo
tne fevered speculations of oir East
ern capitalists. The East wilf now
show a more tegular and measured
growth.
Thin is the wav Brolhee Garret
son, replies in the Patrons Helper, to
iho communication of the secretary ol
Moreauville Grange, Lu, one of
whose mein'iers wi.-hed to exchange
sugar lor floor and pork. If the Pat
rons of Louisiana should send us an
order for, say a car load of bacon
pides, or mixed meats, or flour I ,in
sure we should be most happy to fill
it pro-yily nt the lowest maiket
priceshmiMf we want cugnr or rice,
we air g'ug to know where o send
for fw?inel'his discussion opens up a
broad theme. It means co ope aiive
packing houses and flouring mills
here, and it neans co operative sugar
refireiies at the South It nieaus the
organization of gigantic bu-ines
hous-'f, doing business in the interests'
of the order and by direcii.m. and it
means the employment of the ablest
and most experienced business men as
state business agents.

Ilead.
Old Jile. CollamoiH is very d'-nf.
Tiie other Sunday, in the midst of the
services, Mr. Iloff, who sits imme
diately 1 ehind Mi. Collatnore, saw a
spider traveling over tho hitter's bald
head. His first impulso was to nudge
him and tell him all about, but he re
membered Mr Collainoro was deal,
bo lie lifted up his hand and brushed
the spider off Iloff di.i nt aim quite
high enough and consequently, in ids
nervoui-ness, he hit old CoUamore
quite a severe blow. The old gentle
man turned round in c rage to Fee
who dared take fucli a liberty with
him, and Ilcff hrgnn to explain, with
grsture?, the cause of the occurrence.
Cut CoUamore, in a loud voice, de
manded what it meant. It was very
p-.iinlul to Iloff. The eyes of the con
gregation were upon him, and hegrew
red in the lace. "There was a spider
on your head." "A white place on
my head, hey? S posen there isi
what's that to you?" said CoUamore,
"you'll km w what it is to be bald
headed yourself some day." "It was
aspidir," shriik.'d Iloff, whilo the
congregation smiled and the perspira
tion b"au to roll offhisfnee. 'Cer
tainly ii's wider." , said Collntnore.
"and got more in it than vonrs..' But
li t it alone do you mind ? Yon may
let my head uloue in church." "Mr.
CoUamore," sl riiked IlnU', "there
was a bug on your heal. an 1 I
blushed him off ihia way," uud Iloff
made another jesture at Mr. ColiaN
nic re's head. The o'd man thought
he was going to light him then and
there, auc burling a hymn-book at
Iloff, he seized ihe kneeling stool ou
the floor ol the piw, and was aliout to
bang Mr. Iloff. when the siXion iu
teifcrcd. An explanation was writ
ten on the fly-lewl of the h inn book,
whereupon Mr. Collanmre apologized
in a boisterous voice, and thei ic-
sutned bis rea!. Then the seviccs
proceed' d. They think of asking Mr.
Uollaaiore to worship plxwhere.

Uliiir having machinery, is the natur
al u!ly ol him, who by their aid, can
produce heavier and better crops at
a r ilii'ied cost." Ia proportion to the
increasing density of popu'ution, the
stern logic of facts is forcing the
farmer ami mechanic to tho unavoid
able conclusion that their prospeii.
ly, individually and juiudy, depends
upon being brought int i tho closest
proximity. It is this conviction
found d on tho rip -r" experience of
the p"ople of the older states that is
inciting iu the minds of the people of
the ino-e spaisdy settled distiicts
of the west, a desire to co-opcrato in
s'multaneonsly developing tho agri
cultural and mechanical interests,
inasmuch as no pureiy agricultural
community ever did or ever will at
tain auy perccjitiblo degreo of pn s
perity. It is confidently believed that tho
establishment of tho order of Patrons
of Husbandry will do much to hasten
the union of labor nrd thought, inas
much us this order has the following
distinct objects in view, viz: Social,
intellectual nnd business advantages.
The formati'in of Mich an industrial
organization by the farmers, and sim
ilar ones, liko the Soverigus of Indus
try, by the producing classi a in the city
having tho same oljects in view, will
do much to lessen any prejudice that
may have heretofore existed between
the few thinkers nnd many wmkers,
and which has so seriously modified
the innuiy independence that should
always bo the leading characteristic
nf each- Wh'-n tho workers become
thinkers and thinkers workers, we
can confidently look for progress and
enlightenment, -and the many wid be
less dependent upmi tho lew lor their
thoughts, and the lew less depcndi-nt
upon the many lor the built ol phys
ical toil.
' It should be known to PatiotiS,
that one uf the plank in the plutfo 'in
ol the Older ol Patrons of flusiiinrl
ry is, to buy only for ca-h. Wj ac
knowledge that there may be, and
are. many case iu which it w,ll bo
found a great trial to abstain fiom
buying ou ciedit. We know that
many a luxury, and even some of the
necessities of hfe, wi'l have 10 be
disjicnsel wiih for a time, fir want

Farmer mo our main dependence
iu times of great emergencies. In
the Revolutionary war, they constitu
ted, for Ihe must part, the army that
gained our national independence.
At the same time they cultivated tho
soil to provision that army. Thus
they literally held the sword with
one hand, and the plow with tho oth
er. Washington, their commandersin
chief, was a farmer, and forever put
a dignity upon that calling, of which
every American citizen may well
feel proud. For his military prow
ess and great admii.istrative ability,
he was twice mado piesident, but af
ter all, chose to end his illustrious
career in the private walks and occu
pations of a farmer. The same is
true ol Jefferson uud most of the ear
lier piesictents, as well as many of the
most celebrated men of the republic.
In tho late war also, as in the first,
our farmers, irrespective of creed or
party, with their sons and tfives and
daughters, proved tho main stay of
the nation. If it had not been for
those men, who so nobly filled up tho
decimated ranks of our armies; and
those womi'n, who. like, very angola
of mercy, ministered to our wounded,
sick aud dying soldiers, in camp and
hospital, the strtu'glc, would have been
much harder, if we had not utterly
failed in the terrible internecine war.
And withal, the Geld-i were cultivat
ed, the granaries of the nation were
kept full, and all were supplied with
lood as before.
Farmers hold the keys to the grans
at ies of the world, and though a be
lli lice nt Providence, distribute to the
hungry millions or earth their daily
bread. I
Perhaps it is lor this reason that
the word grange, whose first mean
ing is grain, is also made to mean
farmer, that the producer and the
t1 intr p'oduced are signified by the
same term.
We believe that it will be a bet
ter day for'America, when those who
have so often helped to save our na
lion, shall have more potent voice in
runuing it. W h more fanners in
our slate and national legislatures.
we believe a happier day would
dawn lor our free republic. Then,
surely, political corruption would re
ceive such rebuke from honest, sturdy
yeomanry, as to make it hide iu uly
head. Alien would flow "peace ou
eaith, goodwill to man," followed by
the establishment of a more perfect
and more universal brotherhood of
ihe race. Ex
Georgia ha made thia year plenty
of food tor homi consumption Und a
good cotton crop. With a Rood
cheap white government, and the ad
vantage ol diiect trado "through
their growing port Savannah, the
Georgians are on -the high road to
prosperity.

Caldwell county council, Texas,
was organized in June last. Tho
council met again for the first time
afterwards. September 5th, at which
meeting the delegates declarod their
determination to adopt co-operation
in buying and selling. If they can
not command at present more than
one-tounh of a crop in cotton, they
will use what they hive in the right
direction, and increase their trade as
they get able. The council was to
have met again on the luth, at which
time all the granges were to report
tho amount produced and money that
they can turn over to the council,
when a business ageut will be aelect
ed for the council, aud, by the flrat of
October, they confidently expect to
be able to make a start in co-operative
trade.
