I trust that you in your wisdom will be able to arrive at some practi¬ cal conclusion and will be able to plan and establish a lecture system through which our people can be reached. I can only recommend now that you permit and encourage reorganizations by the payment of a stipulated amount per capita, a part of which ought to go to the State Grange, a part to the organizing dep¬ uty and the balance remain in the subordinate Grange reorganized. organiza¬ There are other farmer tions claiming and asking the support of the agricultural people, and while we may be satisfied that ours is the best adapted to the farmer's wants, yet I trust there will be no antago¬ nism between us, especially f rom our side, as I believe they will soon see the conservatism pf our order, and after considering that ours has stood the opposition for more than twenty years, and that we have this long ex¬ perience as an advantage over them ; when they learn no good is to be ac¬ complished by advancing theories that cannot stand a test, or by oppo¬ sing other industries, occupations and professions; when they consider that the system and principles of co¬ operation adopted by them belong to and originated in the Grange; when they learn that their organiza¬ tion originated from the disappointed members of our order, and that many of their rules and precepts and much of their organic law belong to the order of Patrons of Husbandry; when it is shown that they are not as cheap as may seem at first glance, and but little improvement can be made on our order, then they will come in and co-operate with those who for the past twenty years have worked to advance every interest of agriculture. Then permit me to re mind you that we have no time to fight or oppose any one, our duty be¬ ing to build up; to work for our oc¬ cupation, our families and our coun¬ try. We have greater difficulties to overcome, then let us put our blows where they will do more good. It will be your duty to vote on two constitutional amendments. Your action will be reported to the Secre tary of the National Grange. I rec¬ ommend their adoption and believe the first named will help in the work of reorganization. ist. Amend Article VII by inserting in lieu thereof the following: “A State Grange shall have the power toregulate the lees for membership with¬ in its jurisdiction, provided however less that the minimum fee shall not be than one dollar.” Under National Grange, section 2, page 14, Seventh Degree, 1st and 2d lines, strike out the words: “National Grange, who have served one year there¬ in,” and insert the words: “Order, who have received the Sixth Degree;” and 11 the third line, after the word “elec tion,” add the words: *tupon the pav ” ' ment o. one one /kvLLar W HUr. Our hearts are made sad when we realize the tact, - that , two Ot c our 1 ue loved members are no more with us. Bro. A. Moffit, who SO long was en trustecl * With *Ko the Uuc Keys nf Ot n.ir t lir iroacnm t easury and sister Roberts, of Dawson Grange have both passed over tile river. It is perhaps unnecessary at this time for me to say more of these, as you will •n doubtless u. l^c set aside a Q cnorioiu.r special hour for I'-'* memorial service and give all an . - j - ODDOrtlinity of expressing their appre of these departed members. The death of Bro. Moffitt caused a vacancy in the office of treasurei. It was my duty to fill the same. After careful consideration I asked our worthy secretary to fill his place as treasurer. I trust this official act of mine will meet your approbation. With this session closes the consti tutional term for which I was elected, I have not done what I desired or probably what many expected I would do during my term of office. I visit ed several of our Granges during the some by private, others by conveyance, have written during year an answer to every letter receiv¬ ed from members of our order,a good many others to business men and to the members on business, making a total of more than five hundred, do¬ ing what I could to advance the terest of ou* order with as little pense to you as was possible. I cannot close this report asking the privilege of returning heartfelt acknowledgements to each and all of the membership for uniform kindness extended to me, assuring you of my appreciation the same, and hope ever to be to cherish with fond the many pleasant hours of spent together, and trust you will able to find one better qualified the position of Master; one who can do more for our order than I have been able to do, that he will receive the co operation of all, and in the near future we will see our tion (and through its effoits) the far¬ mers of Georgia in more condition. Brethren, I desist by begging you to be faithful, be true, be zeal¬ ous, be just and fear not. Respectfully submitted. T. H. Kimbrough, Master Ga. State Grange. THE MORNING NEWS STEAM PRINTING HOUSE.
