PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY.
The ITirris County- Grange met
according to adjournment in the Su¬
perior court room, on the 31st of Ju¬
ly, R. E. Fort, W. M., presiding.
Prayer was offered by.
The president in an earnest, ele¬
gant and well timed address invoked
the Grange to act with harmony and
enthusiasm, remembering that the
purpose ot co operation is to build up
and not 10 tear down. Properly in
ici preted it will enable us to live up
10 ,;ur opportunities and to bring our
cud e oroer up to a high piano of use¬
fulness.
The report from special committies
was called for. The committee on
By-Laws, owug to a misunderstand¬
ing among'its members, reported that
ts was not ready and asked for furth¬
er time. It was granted.
The committee on Legislation
made their report through Maj. G. A.
13 . Dozier. It was referred to the
Executive Committee.
The report of the committe on Ed¬
ucation was made through Mrs. M.
E. Stevens. It was referred to the
Executive Committee.
The report of the committee on
Mutual Aid Society was read by
Capt. T. H. Kimbrough. Referred
la Executive Committee.
The report from the committee on
co-operation delivered through
l)r. J. L. Sappington.
The president then called for short
verbal reports from the subordinate
granges.
Cataula Grange was reported by
Secretary A. B. Johnson. The
grange wus organised in 1873 with
21 charter members. Of these 9 are
now members of the grange. The
number who joined about equalled
the number who dropped out, until
1877, when a revival occurred. This
did not last long, but the grange drop¬
ped into its old rut. The member¬
ship recently has increased to 70
members, about 60 of whom are ac¬
tive.
Copeland Grange was reported by
M. S. Roberts. It was organized in
1873, died out and was recently re-or- 1
ganized. Has now about 70 mem
bers and is doing a good work.
Whitesville Grange was reported
by Dr. J. L. Sappington. It was or
ganized in January and has about 60
members. Is doing a good work and
hopes to do more.
Hall Grange was reported by Mr.
Poer. Is small but active and hope
ful.
Antioch Grange was reported by
I. W. Cline. It was organized in
1873, and did a good work, but died
out. It was re organized last year.
There is not a member of this grange
who can siy he has not been benefit
ted; if so he has been of no benefit
to the grange himself.
Waverly Flail Grange was reported
by Col. W. H. McCullohs. It has
about 40 members and while many
are “guano” grangers perhaps, good
is being done and the members are
hopeful.
Hamilton Grange had no report.
The Master then introduced Capt.
T. H. Kimbrough master of the
Georgia State Grange who delivered
a very fine address. It embodied
many wholesome truths and was full
of practical suggestions for the good
of the grange, and we regret that we
have not the space at our disposal to
give a full synopsis of it.
At its conclusion dinner was an¬
nounced and all present were invited
to partake of a bounteous repast pro¬
vided by the several granges, Edibles
dainty and substantial were provided
in greatest profusion, and were eaten
with a relish by the great multitude.
In the afternoon, at 2 o'clock, the
gtange held a short secret session,
after which the doors were thrown
open and the public were invited in
to hear an address by Hon. Dan
Giliis, of Stewart county.
He is a plain practical speaker and
lacks literary polish, but his address
was interesting throughout and con.
tained much food for thought. He
spoke of the grange, its past, present
and future. It had grown up like a
mushroon in ’73 and was bigger
the second»day of its life than it has
ever been since. Although it at one
time embraced hundreds of subordi¬
nate granges within the state of Geor¬
gia, there are to-day in Harris county
more granges than at’ a subsequent
time composed the State grange.
But a few had been faithful to the
order and they had reaped the reward
of the persevering, The “Iola”
grange of which the speaker is a
member, has met regularly since it
was organized in the fail of ig73, and
to-day every one of its orrigina! mem
bers, the speaker alone excepted, re
turns uDon the tax digest of Stewart
county five fold more property than
lie did when he joined. They brought
the spirit of co-operation into every
thing and it made them more use
fur as citizens and put money :n their
pockets. The speaker was apt in
illustrations and impressed his
thoughts very clearly, and while some
positions he assumed were perhaps
untenable, upon the whole the ad¬
dress was a good one, calculated to
do good.
Upon its conclusion, Pomona, sit¬
ting in state, invited all to paitake of
the fruits and melons with which the
room was decorated. This the
crowd did, all enjoying the spread.
It was a field day for the grangers and
the feast over, the corwd dispersed to
their homes happy in the thought
that the day had been well spent and
Harjis county hospitality had again
been nobly illustrated.
GREATFUL ACKNOWLEDG¬
MENT.
Montpeliet, O., Sept. 2,1887.
The Swift Specific Co., Atlanta Ga, .
Gentlemen: I wish to proclaim
to the world what S. S. S. has done
for me. For the past ten years 1
have been afflicted with dreadful
eruptions on my face’ caused by ivy
poison. I was under the treatment
of a number of physicians, but obtain
no relief. I tried thq best “blood
purifiers in the market, but without
avail. I had given up in despair,
thinking I could not be cured; but
happening to read the Detroit Jour¬
nal, I noticed S. S. S. advertised and
read Mrs. Bradley’s testimonial. I
thought I would try this remedy. I
have taken eight bottles, and there is
not a spot on my face. It has also
cured me of chronic catarrh. I have
never enjoyed better health than I do
at present. I feel like a new person.'
I cannot find words sufficient to ex
press my appreciation of its merits,
and the gi attitude I feel for the glad
tidings that came to me trough tho
reading of that advertisement. Wish¬
ing you every success, I am
Yours truly Josie Owen.

has been a marked decrease in tee mortal
ijy of this dreaded disease, and it ispossi
fo still farther reduce the number of
Consumptives. How? By keeping con¬
stantly aj haud a bottle of Dr. King’s
New Discove y and using according to
directions upon the appearance of the
first symptoms, such as a CoDgh, a Cold
a ore Throat, a Chest or Side Pain.
Takeg tens early a cure is guaranteed.
