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. L. F. Livingston, 1 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. <l3*o If fal 5 THE FAVORITE HOME REMEDY This unrivalled Southern Remedy is warrant ed not to contain a single particle of Mercury, or any injurious mineral substance, but is PVBELT VFGF.TABI.E, containing those Southern Roots and Herbs, which an allwise Providence has placed in coun tries where Liver Diseases most prevail.
