To the Masters and Secretaries of the
Georgia State Grange.
Brethren : We desire to call your earnest
attention to a matter in which the interests of
our Order are deeply concerned.
Since our last annual Convention, at Macon,
The Georgia Grange, our official Organ,
has done excellent service in the cause to
which we are devoted, and has left nothing
undone to enhance the good of our organiza
tion, and to extend its beneficial influence. It
is hardly necessary for us to again impress upon
your appreciation the vast power a well con
ducted paper can exercise, for the. benefit of
the interests to which it may devote itself
exclusively. In the case of The Georgia
Grange, no one can question its healthful
influence upon, ny Grange to which its weekly
visits penetrate—an ever welcome visitor and
friend.
Fully appreciating the valuable assistance of
such an organ in the dissemination of useful
knowledge, and the elucidation of our aims and
objects as an Order, we have determined to
urge upon you the necessity for prompt, active
and permanent efforts to sustain The Georgia
Grange, and to increase its circulation to the
utmost attainable extent.
Its energetic publishers are fully alive to the
importance of this matter, and will do all in
their power to realize the hopes and objects for
which we are striving—the good; of our be
loved Order.
We must have a first-class, well-conducted
Grange and Agricultural paper, completely
identified with our peculiar interests, and this
we can easily have if brethren will only come
forward now.
We have just had a conference with the pub
lishers, and we are satisfied that they are fur
nishing 'The Grange to subscribers, at a rate
which actually covers only the bare cost of the
paper, neither more nor less; let it be remem
bered. too, that even this extremely low sub
scription price can be paid by Patrons, at such
times during the year as may suit their con
venience, when the Secretary of their respect
ive Grange may so request The publishers
have reduced the subscription price, for the
purpose of inducing every Grange in the
State to forward a club of ten or twenty sub
scribers.
This expectation can and should be re
alized at once. A number of Granges have
responded, but there are still many who have
failed to contribute their quota. W T e hope
they will do so at once, and thus do their part
towards strengthening our Grange organ, one
of the landmarks of our Order, without which
much of the practical good of our organization
would remain undone, or be at the mercy of
our enemies.
We are authorized to say that the publishers
will continue to place The Weekly Grange
into the hands of Patrons at the extremely re
duced club rates announced in the last circu
lar, until further notice, ($1 each for clubs of
ten or more yearly subscribers.)
The publishers are unable to give their club
rates after that time, unless their expectation of
a club of at least ten subscribers in each
Grange is realized. Hence brethren will see
the necessity for prompt action in the matter.
Make up the dubs al once, and forward the
names, under the conditions specified in the
publishers’ recent circular.
Let Secretaries forward the names, ordering
the desired number of copies; the papers will
*lhen be sent regularly, and can be paid for
next fall, if so requested.
In view of the importance of the interest at
stake, and the unquestionable necessity for the
proper maintenance of The Georgia Grange
as our official organ, we are, indeed, glad to be
able to make this official announcement to the
brethren, and trust that our appeal will be met
by a generous and unanimous response from
the Patrons of Georgia.
Fraternally,
T. J. Smith, MasterS. G.
E. Taylob, Secretary.
J. S. Lawton, Treasurer.

J. 8. Lavendkb, > Ex. Com.
B. H. Gee, )
N. B.—We would also state, for the benefit
of brethren, that any Grange having the req
uisite club of subscribers among its member
ship, can make official announcements, or ad
vertisements, by order of its Master or Secre
the columns of The Georgia JGrange free
of charge.
