From what we gather from the Floviila Enterprise, it seems that the alliance rally at that place on 3lst ultimo, was nothing more than a third party meeting. That paper says: Perhaps I am not of the improved kind of Alliancemen, perhaps I am out of the order, having not been in a lodge in five years, but allow me to say I had ever held to the idea that the Alliance was one thing aud poli tics was strictly another. I have no fight to make on politics. If you want to have a political meeting then call it a political meeting hut don’t besmirch the fair name of Alliance with politics. You can vote or speak for the democrats, republicans, peo ples party, prohibition party, or wo man’s suffrage but in a fair name of the great insritutiou that we call Al liance, don’t mix them all together and make a conglomerated mass that it would take an Aristotle with all his wisdom to straighten out the cha otic mixture. $1 00 A DAY~AT THE WORLD'S FAIR.

The family was a somewhat remarkable one, there being twelve children— six boys and Fix girls. The oldest was a boy and the next a girl, and alternating all the way through. The ninth was still born and tt e fa ther and oldest boy died in 1885. These living children with their wives, husbands, children and grandchildren, numbering 36 grand children, eight great-grandchildren and a few other near relatives cast themselves together in and around the old house in which they were reared and spent the day as one great family. Then the sun reached the meridian a long table was spread under the broad beautiful oaks near “The old oaken bucket, The iron bound bucket, The moss'-covered bucket, That hangs cn the well. I '' from which a feaat indeed was par taken, eighty two persons being the whole number who partook of the tempting meal. It was a day of pleasure, but as vacant chairs were seen and thoughts of those gone before would arise sadness would fill our hearts and sometimes the willing tears would freely flow. There were absent 14 grand children 8 great grand children and 25 dead, making the whole number emanating from the mother, still living, 84 souls. Program —OF X— PR9TRAGTED MEETING.
