Organizing a Farmers Alliance- Smail Fire—Crops. Oechabp Hill, Jane 6.— Duriog the past week v«e had delightfal seas ous, and now it is fair again, and the 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 dition. 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.
