POLITICS AT ORCHARD HILL.
Organizing a Farmers Alliance-
Smail Fire—Crops.
Oechabp Hill, Jane 6.— Duriog
the past week v«e had delightfal seas

farmers are subduing Gon- Green in
a hurry. Should the sun continue to
shine one week longer, they wdl
again have the crops in splendid con

J. D. Cunningham’s mill house
caught on fire last Saturday evening
while the mill was running and came
very near being burned down. But
the neighbors came to Lis assistance
and with a united effort finally sue
ceeded in extinguishing the flamefi
without any serious damage being
done. The house caught by the
sparks from the engine.
I am creditably informed that
Judge Hail will be a candidate for
the Senate and Major Collens for
the House. I heartily endorse Jadge
Hall's platform and think he is well
qualified to fill the position and
ought to be elected without opposi
tion. Mr. Collens is also an estima
ble young man, of sterling worth,
and I think every way qualified to
fill the position to which ne aspires.
I am confident that the ticket will
give perfect satisfaction in this com
munity. So far as the prohibition
plank in the platform is concerned,
it suits me exactly, and I sincerely
hope there will be no strife in that
direction. Nay, let us lay aside
every such weight that would so
easily beset us, and come together a
true Democrats, standing alone on
true democratic principles and pre
sent in every elecuoa, at least during
this year of Democratic harmony, an
unbroken fiont.
Col. J. W. Beck, of Miiner. paid
us a visit on last Saturday and deiiv
ered to os one of the best speeches
on agriculture that it has been our
privilege to bear in a long while: af
ter which a Farmers Alliance was or
ganizod. C. A. Cooper was elected
President and W. A. King Vice
President. The farmers seem to te
wide awake to their interest and are
determined to use all the means in
power to geijout from under theyoke
of oppression in spite of the remon
strances of our brother Orchard Hill j
correspondent. We sincerely wili _bope j
and believe that the Alliance be :
a lasting benefit not only to the farm :
er, but to all classes and professions: ;
and it woaii be well to think twice
before speaking once against this
great organization. Roxns.
