A member of Hcthcl Alliance, Dun:ombc

hns never missed a regular incetng
since its organization, licthcl Alliianco
are a true and noble bin 1 of Alliance
men from trOe principle. Party has
not downed this Alliance; the good goes
on just the same, and why not all our
nib-Alliances rally and go to work? No
true Allianccincn can afford to give up
Ruch great nud grand principles as the
Farmers' Alliiuco. The laboring class
of people certainly see and feel the importance
of such an an organi/.ati in in
ourcruntyand State. The Alliance is
not dead, as some of its enemies predicted
just after the late election. It came
to stay. It's a ground hog case. Tin
farmers and nil laboring classes must
pother and fee the salvation ol
tho Lord. I see a brigl.to, ,iny j,t tin

in the end. and mv prediction is the Alliance
will be stronger than ever.
