6 (Srsrogje The Necessity for OlverslUea Industry in the South. If we continue to harp on this theme day by day, and week by week, it is because we recognize its importance. The Atlanta Her ald says it lies at the foundation not only of our prosperity, but of our very existence as a free and independent people. So long as we continue to devote our entire energies to the cultivation of one staple, and purchase from abroad everything which enters into its production, we may expect to grow poor er each year, until we will even be compelled to abandon cotton, for the lack of means to pay for our labor. The question is frequently asked. Why is it that the South is always broke? How can it happen that a section of country, which makes for export a single crop, with nearly half the circulating medium of the United States, never has any circulating medium ? The reason is very plain. It is quite possi ble that a farmer may make a bale of cotton and sell it for $75, and yet lose money in making it. Nevertheless the world has the cotton and the world is enriched by handling it, while the producer gets poorer. He brings his cotton to market and it pays warehouse age, dravage, freights, commissions and sam pling, until it finally reaches the New Eng land manufacturers. It is then made into calico, and as one pound of cotton makes eight yards of calico his hale of cotton comes back to the South, and is sold to his wife and daughters for eight times the price he sold it for. What left him worth $75, comes back worth SOOO, and tints the world has made $525 by his labor while lie lost money. The South makes a crop of four millions of bales. The North spins one million and ninety four thousand bales of this cotton and thus makes a crop of over eight millions bales, while we make but four millions. What does it cost us to make this cotton we have taken the trouble to ascertain, and we stood amazed at our stupidity. To make his crop we have abandoned the cultivation of corn to the amount of 82,000,000 bushels, worth upwards of $ 100,000,000. Fodder and and shucks to the amount of over a 1,000,000 tons, worth $30,000,000. Hogs, five and a half million head, worth $50,000,000. Cow peas, nine million of bushels; rice, one hun dred aud eleven million of pounds; horses and mules over a half million head. Now take our cotton crop, which sold for $210,- 000,000, deduct the cost of the bagging and ties, and cost of the guano, which it required to make it, and we have $220,000,000, the net receipts from the crop. Add together the abandoned industries, and it actually leaves us in debt. This is no fancy picture, but one I* ....... every thinking tnan in the South knows to he true. Is it any wonder then that we are growing poorer each year. Is it any wonder that more than thirty millions ol acres of our cultivated lands have been aban doned, and their owners cither w orking out a scanty subsistence on a smaller area, or have gone to some village to “ keep store ” Southern farmers, you have a wonderful country, only make yourselves independent, by raising all your supplies, and your market crop a surplus product, and you will 'have capital to enter upon manufacturing and oili er industries which will bring population, and consequently enlarge the demand for your products. A Patron’* Patron. The following is tlic report of a fu enral of n member of the I’atrons of Hus bandry, with the honors of the Order, which took place on the 10th inst., in Van Wert, 0., when the remains of Jennie Hook were consigned to their last resting place with the funeral pageant of the Grange Burial Service: Mrs. Hook was a respected member, and the attendance w T as very large, some 1,000 persons being present. On leaving her resi dence the hearse was draped in evergreen, then came the mourners, next came Pleas and Grange of which she was a member, then members of the Order present, and then spec tators. On arriving at the cemetery the pall bearers, two on each side of the hearse with white sash and gloves, and wreaths, then came the male members with mourning badges, four abreast, near two hundred passing, two on each side of the hearse, proceeded to the grave, followed by the clergyman, and then came pall hearers, next friends and then the Sisters of the Order, with mourning badges and garlands of flowers, nearly 150 in num ber. The coffin was placed on supports by the side of the grave. The W. M., of Pleas ant Grange conducted the ceremonies. When the Brothers and Sisters were assembled at the grave the Master read from the ritual, followed by a seloction by the Chaplain, and then all jointly and solemnly repeated the Lord’s Prayer. After a hymn was sung by the Order, the Brothers of the Order then passed around the open grave and broke in pieces of boquets of flowers and scattered them in the bottom of the box. An address was then read by the Chaplain while the coflln was lowered into the box, and a beautiful liymn sung. Then the Sisters passd around breaking to pieces flowers and evergreens and dropping them on the coffin: the Master, at the head of pall bearers on each side, then broke and scattered their branches of flowers and evergreens upon the coffin ; then the box was closed and the Master took up a handful of dirt thrown from the grave and sprinkled it on the box saying “Farewell I” Throughout, the ceremonies were beautiful and impressive. A clergymnn preaching on the “ Ministry of Angels ” suddenly observed, “ I hear a whisper.” The change of the tone startled one of the deacons, who sat below, from a drowsy mood, and, springing to his feet, he cried. “It is the boys in the gallery 1 ” Barryville Grange, Macon county, ML, has taken a decided stand in relation to hold ing aloof from politics, says the Missouri Fanner: “What we want to know is our duty and then do it. In this connection it is the duty of every Grange to hold itself aloof from politics. No resolutions either of ap proval or condemnation of any party should be passed in any Grange—no, not even an announcement made of any political meet ing. We should shun even the appearance of a violation of our obligation.” An establishment for the manufacture of agricultural implements and machinery is to be built at once at Montgomery county, Ind. A Grange manufacturing company of that place hold SIOO,OOO for the purpose. The five Cincinnati Exhibitions closed on the 3d inst., having continued twenty-eight days, and being visited by 554,000 persons. Receipts amounted to $09,000. A Western paper says of the air in its rela tions to man : “It kisses and blesses man, but will not obey him.” Blabbs says that description suits liis wife exactly. A company, with large capital, have en gaged in farming in Colorado and now have ■n a state of cultivation 400,000 acres of land. The dry murran is pervading among the cattle in various locations along the Ten nessee River. A $20,00 Grange llouring mill is about to be built by Grangers of Clinton and DeKalb Counties, Mo. Patrons in Hillsdale, Mich., recently enjoy - a two mile precession, a barbecue of the old fashioned kind, aud speeches. OCTOBER. Oh, haunting dreams of a sweet summer dead ! Ye bring mo heart-aches in your whispers low, Echoes of song I may not hear again, Voices whoso tones were silent long ago ; Visions of orchards crowned with bridal bloom. Where apple blossoms scent ttie air of May, And from the sloping hillside comes the sound Of sweet-voiced children at their happy play. There is a low, sad rustle in the air, Among the yellow banners of the com ; The faded sun-tlower droops her heavy head, The garden border of its wreath is shorn, A subtle stillness broods o’er all the scene, The benediction of the year is como; The sheaves arc garnered from the fading field, The husbandman has sung the “Harvest Home.” The faded meadows where the partridge trills His dear loud song to call hie wandering mate. The Streams are shallow add the grasses brown, Where scarlet poppies flecked the tieiu L u ’ late, There is a whisper in the falling stream, A sigh thro’ all the aisles of forest trees, A tremulous vibration in the songs The wild birds pour upon the evening breeze. ’”” sweet, dead days will como to tis no more ; New Bommors may bring harvests of delight, Fair days may dawn with eyes of splendid hue— They can not shine so infinitely bright, As the sweet vanished hours that we have lost; Or are they only garnered safe and sure, To wait for us in some far, future world, Where summers shall eternally endure V The rustling leaves dvop Boftly at my feot, Warm airs caress my cheeks wit.fi loving No ohill of autumn shivers in the air, Yet something indefinable I miss. Oh 1 summer sweet, if never more on earth I may rejoice in all your beauty rare, I can not say farewell, for wo shall meet Where you will bloom more infinitely fair. “ Missus Snowdrop,” said a gentleman of color the other afternoon, during a shower, to a lady of his acquaintance, “as de wedder is somewhat amphibious, you will do me de honor to step under my umbrella, an form a quorum?” “Tank you, Mister Itillups, 1 will. Iu dis wedder an umbrella is radder cosmopolitan.” A handsome lady entered a dry goods store and inquired for a bow. The polite clerk tlircw himself back and remarked that be was at her service. “ Yes but I want a buff, not a green oue,” was the reply. The young man went on measuring goods. A romantic girl thought to Maud Muller ize and “rake the meadows sweet with hay.” She stood over a yellow jackets nest as she swung her little rake.

We respectfully call attention to the value of The Georgia Ghanoe eh an advertising medium. Its circulation is oiieatbr than any saver pcb ijshkd in the State. It circulates in every county in the State, and doubtloss comes under tho eyes of a hundred thousand persons. A business man wants something more than to see ing his advertisement in print, ho wants circcla tion to make it pav. Those who wish to make their business known, should avail themselves of our columns. Our prices for advertising will compare favorably with those of any hrst-class newspaper in the country. To Secretaries of Subordinate Gra Hires An organization as compact and as influential as the I’atrous of Husbandry should have somo organ devoted to their interest, and conducted with a view of oxtending their influence and pro pagating then' principles. Believing, as we do, that tho Order ih destined to work a permanent reform among the agricultural and producing classes in legislation, in the social structure, and in the uplifting of tho tillers of the soil from a position of inferiority to one of permant superi ority, we shall labor earnestly, vigorously and sincerely to bring about such results sh will be most beneiicial to tho fanners in their individual and corporate capacities. And in order to do this work wo wish your hearty and earnest aid not only in procuring subscribers, but inducing each member to write his views and experiences, his success and failures, his hopeful desires, for the columns of The Grange. By having a largo cir culation we can expend a larger amount in all desirable improvements, and thus publish a pa per that will fully represent all the great inter ests of our section. We want it to be unsur passed by any agricultural paper in the Union. It should have a subscription largo enough to place it upon a solid footing, and large enough to make it what we desire. Is it asking too much of each Grange in the State to Bond ns a largo club of now subscribers ? A number have al ready responded to our printed circular to send us a club, and pay the subscription price in No vombor, and wo trust that every Grange in tho State will boo the importance of doing this with out delay. Our proposition to send the paper now and allow time for payment—until Novem ber—places it in reach of "every F&tron in the State. Address Georgia Grange Pcni.tstiiNG Company, Atlanta, Ga.
