Meeting of the Patrons and Farmers of
Pike County.
Zebulon, Pike County, Ga., )
December 27, 1873. f
At a meeting of the Grangers and Farmers,
Rev. J. A. Jackson was called to the Chair,
and J. F. Madden requested to act as Secreta
ry-
A Copimittee of ten was appointed to ar
range business for the meeting.
While the Committee was absent, the meet
. ing was entertained by interesting remarks
from Messrs. Cooper, Jackson and Lavender.
On the return of the Committee, the following
preamble and resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, We, the Grangers and Farmers
of Pike, do believe the mode and manner
thajt the most of our farmers have conducted
their financial business, is ruinous to them and
the country, and for the purpose of trMng to
remedy the same, have met to take such action
together as may tend to remedy the same,
therefore,
I, Resolved, We, the Grangers and Farm
ers of Pike county, recommend the farmers
not to plant more than one-third of our crop,
the ensuing year, in cotton.
3. Resolved, That we recommend our farm
ers to use more economy in the use of fertili
zers, and, if possible, to pay the cash for the
same. We further recommend, that they use
a liberal portion of it on their corn.
3. Resolved, That we deprecate this whole
sale bonding for provisions, and we further
recommend that the Legislature modify, or
repeal, the lien law as early as possible, as we
believe it should be stricken from the statutes
within twelve months.
4. Resolved, That the homestead is entirely
too large, and should lie modified ; we there
fore call the attention of the proper authori
ties to it. The public school system is also
very deficient, and we ask our immediate
Representative to have a law passed, leaving
the poll tax of our county in the hands of the
Treasurer.
5. Resolved, That we send a copy of the
above resolutions to the Barnesville Gazette
and Georgia Grange, and request their pub
lication.

Messrs. Guilford, Wood & Co., of this city,
wish to announce to the various Granges
throughout the State and the South that, as man
ufacturers’ agents, having exclusive control of
territory, and buying in large quantities, they
must necessarily buy at greatly reduced rates.
These reduced rates they propose to give their
patrons the full benefit of. Any one thinking of
purchasing an organ or piano will, we are sure,
benefit themselves by writing to them on the
subject before concluding a purchase elsewhere.
Catalogues, price lists, and full information fur
nished, by addressing Guilford, Wood & Co.,
Atlanta, Georgia.
To insure insertion, advertisements should be
forwarded the week preceding that in which they
are to appear in The Grange. We adhere
strictly to our published rates.
We will not, under any circumstances, print
“paid for” notices in the editorial columns;
but will insert reading notices in the publishers’
department at 30 cents per line.

For the Ladies.
The Lady's Journal discourses pleas
antly and sensibly concerning the true
meaning of “help-meet”:
The ideas of most young people con
cerning married life, are generally so
vague and visionary that it is no won
der they are apt to be disappointed
•when the sober reality of care and re
sponsibility settles down upon them.
They are to be pitied rather than
blamed, since they have been either
illy taught, or not taught at all the
correct position they must assume
the day they don the title of wife.
It is not uncommon for young girls
to plunge direct from school into
the sea of matrimony, unsupported
by a single sensible notion of the
life upon which they enter; and what
can be expected to follow but failure
and discontent ? Marriage to them
is a sort of materialized Heaven ; it
is so sweet to love and be loved;
orange flowers, bridal presents, and
a fine-looking husband are so prom
inent in their day-dreams, as to ex
clude homelier, but full as important,
accessories from their fanciful vis
ion.
After the days of the honeymoon
pass, the veil gradually uplifts, and
they find themselves forced to the
performance of duties disagreeable,
and oftentimes uncongenial. It is
different from what they expected,
and, naturally enough, they feel that
they have not received the equiva
lent due them. It is not the fault of
the young wife, but owing, in most
cases, to lack of sense displayed by
those whom experience should teach
better. Had these girls been in
structed that marriage is a vineyard,
in which, properly, both parties
should labor, that the woman must
do her part as well as the man, that
to promote happiness, comfort, and
prosperity, she must be emphatical
ly a help-meet, and not a help-eat,
why then they might have taken
their choice between what captious
people might call two evils, and have
no one to blame but themselves.
Left to herself, how does a girl of
seventeen understand these matters ?
It was originally intended that
the wife should be a help-meet to
the husband, not an idle, listless wo
man, fritting away her moments in
useless employments that interfere with
the proper and conscientious perform
ance of her duties. When a man mar
ries, his whole future depends on the
sort of woman he marries, especially if
he is poor, and has his own fortune to
carve. If the wife is not prudent, wise,
and energetic, he will remain forever a
mere powerless machine dragged down
by a dead weigh'.. It is the men whose
wives have proved themselves help
meets, truly, that are the rich men of
to-day ; they may attribute their wealth
to speculation, keen business talent, or
anything their pride may suggest, but
examine closely the machinerv that
backs them, and you will find it well
greased with the oil of feminine craft.
Men are inclined to be extravagant, and,
if helped on and encouraged by spend
thrift wives, will lay up no pennies for
the “rainy” days of life.
A woman should be proud to be a
help-meet to her husband. These po
etical fancies concerning the ivy and
the oak are very pretty, and to a cer
tain extent, appropriate; but, as an
American writer finely expresses it,
“ the ivy should always be ready to stand
alone, if the oak shows signs of weaii
ness.” Some women seem to have no
self-dependence; they throw all the
burdens of life on to their husbands’
shoulders, and cannot act for them
selves in the smallest matters.
It is certainly not a woman’s place to
earn daily bread for a strong, able-
bodied man to eat, but we have noble
instances on record, where in case of
failing health or accident, the wife has
stood up equal to the emergency, and
exhibited her capacities most thorough
ly in this respect. The increasing ad
vantages daily accruing to American
women for educating and fitting them
selves for the pursuit, even, of mascu
line occupations, render them able, on
necessity, to make themselves help
meets and blessings to their husbands
and families. May such be the choice
of all.
Coffee and Tea Tax. —Upon the
Subject of increased taxation recently
recommended by the Secretary of the
Treasury, Harper's Weekly says :
“ Should increased taxation be found
indispensable, the Secretary’s recom
mendations are judicious. There can,
indeed, be no question of the method
by which he proposes to raise half of
the sum, namely, the restoration of the
tax on tea and coffee. The selection of
that tax for repeal impeached the intel
ligence of the Republican leaders. The
specious plea was that it ■was a tax
which invaded every home, and that
every home, therefore, would feel the
relief. The truth is that, taxes being
necessary, none is so just, so equally
distributed, and so little felt as that
upon tea and coffee. The repeal was
favored by enough Democrats to prove
that their party has no principle of free
trade ; for the most elementary knowl-

edge of the subject shows that the;
principle of a revenue tariff would re
quire the duty • upon tea and coffee, j
Those who are not familiar with the |
elements of the subject do not perhaps
see that as there can be no home pro
duction of tea and coffee, the whole cus
toms revenue from them goes into the
Treasury, and does not serve to heighten
the price of a native production, as is ,
the case with a protective duty.”

Transmutation of Grains.
A book, recently published in Scotland, and
which is referred to by the Aberdeen, Scotland,
Free Press, discusses social, historical and
scientific subjects. From these we collate the
following curious treatise on the transmutation
of grains:
Wheat, barley, oats and rye come from one
and the same grass, as is proved by the fact
that, by a particular process of cultivation, you
can change oats into rye, or barley, or wheat.
This is well known to botanists, and was fully
discussed in the Gardners' Chronicle many years
ago. The word corn, as translated in our
Bibles, includes in its wide signification not
only wheat, barley, and oats, but other grains,
among which pulse and rye may perhaps be
numbered. The Hebrew word translated rye
does not mean the grain we know by that name.
Rye, a.i far as history-shows, was never culti
vated in Egypt or Palestine. Among many
other grains, there is’ no doubt but wheat and
barley were cultivated by the Egyptians and
Jews. '
By an experiment on a wild grass called by
tourists AEgiiop ovata, extending over twelve
years, and ending in 1852, perfect wheat was
procured by M. Fabre, as may be read in more
than one of our books on the trasmutation of
species. Nor is that more wonderful than
other factsofa kindred nature brought to light
by scientific investigation. Cauliflower, broc
coli, savoys and cabbages all come from a plant
that botanists find growing wild upon our sea
shores. Professor Henslow repeated M. Fa
bre’s experiment of producing wheat from the
species of wild grass named, and was successful.
1 The cowslip, primrose, oxslip, and polyan
thus are one, and many other flowers that we
look upon a® distinct; and wheat, barley, or rye
can also be resolved into one.
It is surprising that the cultivation of rye
never became more common in this country,
for, as a grain, it is considered next to wheat.
It is supposed to have been brought from the
East, and, curiously, it has not, like corn and
bai ley, been the least altered by cultivation. It
grows in much colder climes than wheat, and
“learning to read.”
1 on any kind of soil howevei poor, if it be not
too moist. It is grown as extensively in Con
. tinental Europe as wheat is, and sustains more
I than one-half of the population. Rye-bread is
not quite so nourishing as that of wheat, but it
has more flavor. In France, bread half-wheat
half-rye is found in every house.
.
At the first sessions of the North
Georgia Agricultural College, 127 boys
and 87 girls entered, making 211 in all.
A Bulloch county planter writes the
Savannah News that a German on his
place made, this year, with one mule,
sixteen bales of cotton, weighing five
hundred pounds each, and three hun
dred and fifteen bushels of corn.
The Lumpkin Independent says “a
trip through a portion of our county
since our last issue, convinces us that
there has been an unusual amount of
small grain sown this year. We saw
fields of wheat and oats up and growing
finely.” _
Jack Newman, a tenant on the home
place of W. C. Riddle, Esq., of Sanders
ville, the past year, raised on a one
mule farm, 5,994 pounds of cotton,
making 14 bales, 128 bushels of corn,
2,000 pounds of fodder, and 60 bushels
of potatoes.
Good Advice to Girls.
The following, taken from a Western
journal, contains a great deal of good
sense, and will be food for profitable
thought to those who feel themselves
addressed :
“ Girls, let me talk to you a little
while. Not to you, wild girls, who do
not care much what you do; nor to
you, very proper girls, who never laugh
out of the wrong side of your mouth,
nor at the wrong time, nor ever do any
thing you shouldn’t But the common
average girls, whom we meet at the
' railway station and in the academy,
, in the farm-house, and in the village,
and who have ‘fellows’ and enjoy
‘going’ with them.
[i “ When I see you at church, and at
: lectures with these same ‘ fellows ’
sitting close together, hand in hand,
I want to whisper in your ear— don't.
Don’t do anything that you will
look back upon from the maturer
age of thirty, and wish you hadn’t.
Don’t do anything, no matter how
long you have been engaged to a
, man, that, when you are married,
you will regret. Your husband will
i respect you all the more if you have
; always been true to yourself during
his courtship. Time enough for the
kisses and ‘loving clasps’ will come
after marriage, and be enjoyed all
the more for true purity of thought
and deed. And if the engagement
should happen to get broken, it will
save many annoying thoughts,if not
words, to know that it is impossible
for some man, whom you care noth
ing for then, to boast of familiarities
from you. These young men who
are willing to draw out these little,
caressing, familiar acts, that in them
selves contain nothing impure, must
possess impure minds, and imagine
license from the innocent, thought
less expression of pleasure, will,
sooner or later, with some one ven
ture more, you may depond. Your
careless words and actions may in
flame his passions, and presently
some one falls —andean you say but
that it is partly your fault? No
doubt it is very pleasant to be sup
ported in your evening walk or ride
by the arms of your dear Augustus,
or to lean your head to rest upon his
convenient shoulder, holding his
hand, and to give him a parting kiss ;
but, as sure as you live to be ten years
older, you will be sorry that you did it.
Then consider one thing more. In the
strength of your virtue, did you ever
think that some weaker sister may see
i or know of the act, and think if you do
Iso it cannot be improper ? The conse
quence is that sombody takes advan
tage of her weakness, and she is lost. O
girls, we must blame our own selves for
some of this evil! Do be thoughtful,
and avoid any action which self-respect
calls doubtful.”
Globe Flower Cough Syrup.
The most popular and effective remedy ever
introduced for the immediate and perfect cure of
every form of disease incident to the throat and
lungs. Free from opium and all poisonous in
gredients. Perfectly harmless, but acts with
magical effect. la the coming remedy, as tens of
thousands voluntarily testify. No child can die
with croup where Globe Flower Syrup is used; no
cough can exist where this specific is used. It is
the deadly enemy of the deadliest disease known
to the human family, consumption. Whooping
cough is a trivial matter with Globe Flower in
the house. The strong voice, with ringing clear
ness after its use. makes it very valuable to pub
lic speakers and singers. Nothing disagreeable
in the taste—very palatable. Chemical skill has
extracted from the Cephelanthus Occidentalis of
the botanist, the Globe Flower of the florist, the
Button Root of the herbalist, the crowning glory
of science. Globe Flower Cough Syrup. These
are startling statements, though naked facts,
unembellished save by the simple habiliments of
pure truth. Grave-robbed thousands cherish it
as a savior. Remember these truths, they may
save you from death, and bequeath to you the
greatest blessing, sound lungs and immunity
from consumption.
