A word of explanation is due to many of our friends who have recently sent us orders for articles for use In the grange, for our delay in attending to their requests. In most instances where orders have not been tilled promptly, it has been because we have not had the articles required. Sometimes wo havo had a portion of them, and were dally expecting tho remainder from Washington, and the order was delayed till all could be sent at once. Often, when at last a box of songs and manuals has arrived, we have found our orders had got far ahead of our expectations, and the supply that was intended to last several weeks was not large enough to fill the orders already in. In such cases we immediately write to headquarters for more, and try to make our demand so large that there will be no danger of getting behind with our customers again; but it takes, at the least, eight or ten days, and with our last order over a month, for tl o goods to reach us, even by "fast freight," and it keeps our friends waiting till wo do not wonder that their patience is exhausted. Ours would be under similar circumstances, and we don't blame them for the complaining letters they sometimes write. They would not be so Impatient, perhaps, If they knew that wo are doing all in our power to hurry np their orders, and that when we get the articles they ask for, we set all hands to work doing up packages and sending them to the express offices. A few weeks ago we announced that we had an ample supply, and could fill all orders promptly in future, but we soon found that we had not enough to fill the orders already on our books, and immediately sent for more, which have not yet arrived, although they have been three times the usual period on the way. The truth ls, the granges have multiplied so rapidly within the last three months that we have found it impossible to keep up with them. We are doing the best j we can, however.and claim the indulgence of our Jfriends till we catch up again, when we will try kto keep even with them. As to manuals, it should Jbo added that, under a new ruling, the Secretary Editorial Botes, ^^~^J^^t •■•,*•• "DUKE DE CHARTRES." This renowned Norman stallion, imported and owned by James A. Perry, of Wilmington, Hlinois, is a dapple gray, sixteen and a half hands highland weighs 2,050 pounds.

Other members of granges must apply to their Secretaries for the list. j. g. Kingsbury, April 2, .74. Purchasing Agent. MEETING OF COUNTY AGENTS.

We hope to have a report of progress in due time. —Cass County Agricultural, Horticultural and Mechanical Associations hold their second Annual Fair at Logansport, September 7th to the 12th inclusive. —Mr. Green, editor of the National Crop Reporter, will remove his publication to this city in a week or two, the full amount ($2,500) he asked as a loan from the business men here having been subscribed. —The M. W. Grand Sire, the highest authority in the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, has proclaimed the 26th day of April as a day to be observed by the Order as a day of prayer and thanksgiving. —F. C.

A. Burke, of New Harmony, and A. B. Claypool, of Connersville, members of the Building Committee, to fill the places of Messrs. Stein and Coffroth, resigned. Mr. Bufke has also been appointed Superintendent of the Experimental Farm. —The "Gregg raspberry" is being advertised by postal cards. We tried some of the berries at Aurora, last summer, and failed to discover anything remarkable, either in their flavor or size, and the price charged was exactly the same as for other berries in the same market. We think the "Gregg" has been greatly over-rated, and would not again recommend it as we did a few years ago by allowing it a place in our premium list. —Returns from fifty-five cities and towns in Ohio show thatiKO drinking places have ceased the sale of liquor—225 saloons, and 105 drug stores where liquor was sold to tipplers. Over 15,000 persons have signed the pledge of total abstinence. There are still remaining in these towns 359 drinking places open, but their business has been greatly reduced. In Indiana the work is equally successful. We hear of no abatement of interest, but of a deeper and broader current of feeling among the Christian women (and the men as well) that the sale of intoxicating drinks, as a beverage, must be stopped. Before the inauguration of the present war on in- temperancethe Baxter law had closed 000 saloons. Since the crusade began at least one-half as many more have been closed. 5Rp= 7\

Over 15,000 persons have signed the pledge of total abstinence. There are still remaining in these towns 359 drinking places open, but their business has been greatly reduced. In Indiana the work is equally successful. We hear of no abatement of interest, but of a deeper and broader current of feeling among the Christian women (and the men as well) that the sale of intoxicating drinks, as a beverage, must be stopped. Before the inauguration of the present war on in- temperancethe Baxter law had closed 000 saloons. Since the crusade began at least one-half as many more have been closed. 5Rp= 7\ |
