Antioch Grange, No. 317, August 25, 1888. J. W. Cline, J. S. Smith, J. A , Williams, Mrs. Georgia Moultrie, • Mrs. Eliza Davis, Committee. Beech Spring Rubbles. Fair and cool. Farmers are very busy gathering their crops. Misses Leila Davis and K. T. Had¬ ley, of near this place, are spending this week at the Blue Spring. We wish them a pleasant time. Mrs. T. S. Davis, of this place is at her fathers, Mr. Gus Moore’s, quite sick. There will be three converts irn mersed in the pool next Sunday morning at Beech Spring. A mad dog passed through this community Sunday. It bit a fine bird dog of Mr. J. H. Nelson’s. Mrs. Judge Spence is slowly im¬ proving. Mrs. Greer is quite sick. It is thought she must soon leave this world to go to the better. A very large rattlesnake was killed last week b/ Alex Glass, which had twelve rattles. The same darkey lost a cow the other day trom the bite of a snake. Why should we start and fear to go if we are what we profess to be. If we are Alliance we ought to prove it. If the merchants will not take the cotton in ducking we can keep the cotton. We would like to know why the cotton goods will not do as well as the jute bagging. If it will protect the cotton as welt and the manufacturers will receive it why should the middle man object. A. P..N. Good IVews to All.
