Editor Mercury:—I hare long waited
to see If any sHter of our Alliance would
write to The Mercury. 1 am aure that
*ny of the alatera could write a much bet-
ter letter than I can, but Í will aee it I
can't inspire aome of them to write.
I belong to Centennial Alliance No. 8344.
I have been a member over three yeara and
have never missed but two meetings. My
husband takes The Mercury and w6both
enjoy reading It. I think evory member
ought to read It and keep posted In their
duty. 1 tor one will have It If I have to sell
egga at live centa a dozen.
Brother Editor, 1 say Qod bless Bister
Shaw for her proposition she has made to
the slstera to aell chickens, eggs and butter
to the amount of one dollar to gave our
Exchange. We can everyone do this and
It won't hurt anybody. 1 believe every
true slstor will lend a helping hand, l'ut
my name on the list. I ain ever ready to
try to do my duty. Now, sisters, let us all
[i,>i[, be united in our duty. 1 feel that God is
with us in this good work and is Tvllllng to
crown our efforts with groat success, It we
put our trust in Him.
Success to The Mkrcury and Alliance.

Editor Mercury:—I am a member of
Hendrioks Alliance, but not a constant
reader of The Mercury, as Sister Shaw;
still 1 dealre that you add my name to her
liat of the 91.00 (one dollar) enterprise, for
helping pay off the indebtedness of the Ex.
change. She has offered a grand sugges-
tion, and one in which each of the sisters
can help. I trust that the names added to
hers may make bcr feel proud that she has
been the author of such a noble work.
Much success to Tue Mkkoury.

Editor Mkrcury:—Although I feel
quite out of place writing to our paper, 1
cannot help answering Sister Shaw's call.
I Will send one dollar to the Exchange by
the flrst of July, and I will try anu not
send inlne alone. I think some of tbe sis
ters are willing to help in the good cause
of trying to get our head out of debt. Our
election of o Ulcers ia over,' and we had a
picnic, with quite a number of members
present. All seemed to enjoy the day verv
much. We bad a good rain yesterday eve-
nlug which was very much needed. What
has become of all the sisters? 1 have looked
In vain lor their nice letters. Ann Other,
ploitse write again, and Charltlo, como
back to your work, ir 1 could only write
such letters aa you do It would be a pleas-
ure to contribute. Come, sisters, let us re-
new our covenant and attend our moetlngs
better in tbe future than in the past.
Mrs. 11. Bittiok.
Loon County.
Editor Mercury:—As I still see noth-
ing in print from Ueedland Alliance, 1 will
try to write again. 1 know thero are more
competent brothers and sisters for writing
than myselt, If they would write. It seems
aa If they were oareless and do not take the
Interest In tbe Alliance that they should.
We have a largo membership and there are
but few of us who attend, aud what few do
are true, and are always at the post of duty
ready to help. 1 can't see why old Leon is
ao backward In tho causo ; it la a good oao,
and If we poor people don't need a good
lecturing 1 don't know who docs.
Now, brothera and sisters, let us be
watching and waiting for that bright day
when the light shall put forth Its brightest
sunshine of liberty ; let's help each other
by doing all we can fur tbelr benefit, lor it
haa already been a benefit to us.
Now sisters, lot's help light the battle of
freedom, and not atand with our hsnds
closed and our eyes shut. 1 am afraid you
all do not read Tiik Mercury enough ; if
you have not got Tns Mercury scud and
get it, it is one of tbe best guides In tbe
world to the larmer. 1 would not be with-
out it. It leta ua know what tbe Alliance
ia doing for us; ao let us study it. We
have no crop niortguge this year, neither
any stock; ao It has atirred us up and
caused us to keep out ol mortgaging this
year; so let'a watch and pray for our deliv-
erance from the mortgage debt; como out
brothera and alsters, and help us fight for
liberty; it is your duty; don't be like the
man who climbed the Joist and left his wife
to kill the bear, and when freodotn is
gained come out shouting a,ain't we brave,"
when you have done nothing to help gain
it. So come to tho front, now ia the time
to work lor freedom if ever you lntond to.

Editor Mercury:—1 tun a little girl 17
years of age, and as the littlo cousins are
having such u nice time 1 thought 1 would
join them. My pupa, three sisters and my-
self belong to Smyrna Union No. 70. I
think the Union Is the noblest thing in the
world for the poor larmer, and if the mem-
bers will unite and each put his shoulder
to the Union wheel speculators and monop-
olies will not hold their sway aud trusts
will be a thing ot the past. Mr. Editor, 11
you will be so kind as to print this maybe
it will encourago others to write irom this
community, who know more ubout the Un-
ion than 1 do.
God bless the dear old Mercury and
may angels hover around the editor.

Editor Mercury:—1 will write to you
again as you were so kind as to print my
last lettor. My school Is out and 1 am
helping pa hoe tbe crop. We have a fine
crop. Our coin looks like a cane brake.
Everybody in the county has nice crops.
We are needing rain now.
1 aaw Couain Ida Choate'a anawer to my

1 would tell you, but 1 want others to
guess. Cousin Ida, I want you to write
me a letter. 1 will give my address, and
tell me your pa and ma's name. 1 think
We are cousins. 1 aud slstor Emma want
to town the other duy. We enjoyed our
trip very much.
Mr. Editor, 1 did not take Unole Snort's
proposition, but 1 think I have got as many
little chicks as those who did. 1 think
from what 1 read our Alliance is not pro-
gressing In this country as it is in other
places, but I trust that it will come out
mid do well yet. I know so many foolish
little lottors ara a bother to you, but I love
to read them in print.

Editor Mercury:—I am a subscriber
to The Mercury, I read In its columns
some good resolutions ; this Is what hurts
iib—resolving and not sticking to our reso-
lutions.
I am a momber of White Bluff Alliance,
Us numbor of members in 51. We are in
a prosperous condition. We have joined
the Alliance with all lour ol our Icet up, to
stand by the order till death, and to help
to put down monopoly and trusts. We are
trying to raise hog and homluy at home,
and what cotton we can altor thero is a
suOloienoy of other oropa planted lor our
home consumption.
Brothren, raise corn, peas, potatoos, and
you have meat, lurd and souse. If you
raise cotton you will have debt , trouble
and bard times. Pa has some hides be Is
going to tan In troughs; there Is too much
bumbuggery In shoes; he Is going to make
stirup leathers, bell collars and patch and
make shoes at home, and stop buying pa-
per and sheep skin. We can become man-
ufacturera of our own buslaesa and be Iree
men again ir wo will but attend to our
farm. If we will use our mental lacultles
as much aa we do our physical strength,
we can in a short time any, thank God, we
ure out of debt again. Don't make any
dobla for anything you can do without.
Economy ahould be tho watchword ot
every brother and alster too. For tear this
finds Its way into tbe waste basket, I will
olose. Wishing The Mercury and
Farmers Alliance auccess, I remain fra-
ternally till death,

A Urunswlck Romanea.
Perhaps the inost romantic of all tbe tales
of anciuut Brunswick is that'of Moliie Fin-
noy and how she got u husband, it was a
wild beginning, but a good old fashioned
ending.
In 1730 the eastern Indians were In a most
warlike aud ferocious mood. They ruaasa-
crod many of Brunswick's settlers, anil one
night made a raid on the houso of Thomas
Means, at "Flying Point." They batterod In
the door and dragged out Means and bis fam-
ily. The settler fought thorn manfully, but
his fato was sealed. Two Indians held bis
arms while a third shot the bravo man
through the body with his own rifle. Moan-
tüno Mrs. Means ran back into tho hou.so with
her Infant and vainly tried to barricade the
door. With fierce yells they burst into the
house, and with oue bull killed the iufant and
pierced tho mother's breast.
Moliie Flnnoy was Mrs. Means' sister, e
blooming young damsel, high colored and
plump. Tbcy seized bar in her night clothe*
and carried her off to Canada, giving her a
blanket to help cover hor. At Quebec they
sold bur to u farmer for $0 in monoy and a
bottle of strong water. For a long timo Mol-
lio worked in this farmer's fields, but ho sud-
denly became jealous of a young French
Canadian who was seen to pay her some
marked attentions, and locked her in hor
chamber in his bouse.
About this timo thero came to an anchor-
age beforo Quol>eo a certain bold Capt. Mc-
Lellan, of Falmouth, Me., in his.fast brigán-
tino. He learned Mollie's story and secretly
arranged with her a plan for her encapo.
Ono night lie throw a rope to her window
and sho lowered herself to the ground. Be-
fore morning sho and hor rescuer were sailing
rapidly down the 8t. Lawrence bel'oro a
stiff breeze, bound for Falmouth. You can
guess tho sequel—how they fell in love and
were married.—Lewiston Journal.
"Stringing" a Granger.
In Illinois, as in many other statos, there Is
a law which provides that a railroad com-
pany oannot bo made to pay more than 15,000
for kilbng a parson, though there is no limit
to tho amount for which a company may ba
suod for merely maiming a person. Ono day
Henntor Henry £L Evans, who likes a joke
liettor than a meal, was telling one of hit
rural constituents about this law as they were
riding together from Aurora to Chicago.
"Waal," said the granger, finally, 'it's a
durn sight cheaper, then, fur 'em to kill a man
than to cut off his arm or his leg."
"Of course it is," said the senator, and then
lowering his voico to a whisper he said in the
granger's ear, "You see that ax up there!"
"Yes," whispered the constituent, looking
at the tools carried in *10 car for use in case
of nood. *
"Well," said tbe sonator, "tboy carry that
to kill men with in caso they are hurt in uu
accident." _
"Waal, I snum," said the granger, 'fnat'n
the awfuiest thing I ever heord oí. "—Chicago

Fire Alarm Protective Charts.
The flro ularm protective chart, with hoy
attached, has been patented by an ingenious
citizen of Chicago. It consists of a small tin
chart, with tho location of tho nearest bos
and instructions how to uso tho key, and the
number of tho box printed upon it. It is
proposed to placo those keys with as mauy
householders us posmblo in each iiro district
of the city. When h Oro is discovered the
discoverer will then bo able to locate immedi-
ately the nearest flro alarm box and turn 111
tho alarm. As it is now the locations of the
boxes are known to very fow, aud still fewer
know bow to work thorn whon found. Con-
sequently a flro generally gains ¿oorl head-
way licl'oru the department is notified, and
considerable loss Is in this manner incurred.

Autor* Who Look Young.
A tow days ago three mou stood talking
together in front of the Fifth Avenuo hotel.
The casual observer would not have thought
any one of tho three to bo much over forty,
while ho probably would have put tho tallest
and youngest looking at about thirty-live.
Yet this man was Joseph Whiting, who was
a promising young actor in the early days of
the war, aud his companions wore Ktuurt
Robson and W. J. Florence. To tho many
people who have laughed ut and wltb Ilobnon
us tho Juvenile and innocent Bertie of "Tlia
Henrietta," the fact recently published that
ho is about twolvo years older than his former
Eartncr, W. H. Crano, seems almost incredi-
le. Mr. Florence Is about fifty-eight, but
bis appearance has scarcely changed in the
last fifteen years.—New York Tribuna
Danger of Drinking leo Water.
Water for drinking purposes should never
bo below 60 doga. Wo can almost always get
it oven in the hottest weather us cool as this
by letting it run for a minute or two from
any household faucet, or drawing It from any
country well. If not, there is no objeotiou to
cooltng it to the point mentioned. The East
India "monkey," which oan now be bad al-
most anywhere in this country, and by means
of which the contained water is cooled by its
own evaporation, answers the purpose admir-
ably. 1 am quite sure that, if lee water should
lie generally discarded us a driuk, the average
duration of life would be lengthened and ex-
istence render oil more tolerable. —Dr. W illiam

Fond of Cats.
A complaint was made to tbe city nanrshal
ot Portlaud, Me., from the neighbors of a
Mrs. Warren, the possessor of forty cats.
The neighbors accused them of being a first
close nuisance. Mrs. Warren was found by the
officers to be sick in bed, but tbe forty cats,
not counting numerous kit tens, were all in tbe
best of health and filled tho two small rooms
full. The mistress of the establishment claim-
ed that she kept a cat boarding house, but
the officers after investigation decided that
they all belonged to ber and took measures to
relieve the people in the vicinity from the
tilth, noise and predatory excursions, ot the
"boarders."—Chicago Tim

What a Man With a Will Can do.
Professionally, In all the departments of
medicine, Dr. A. P. Davis stands, perhaps,
without a rival in our country, not only iu
the general practice of medicine, and sure-
ly has not an equal in this stale, when it
comes to the treatment of eye all'ections.
Ills dexterity with instruments, iu per-
forming surgical operatiouson eyes, is truly
wonderiul, knowing his own ability, and
being naturally endowed with extraordi-
nary qualifications as an eye surgeon, pos-
sessing a lurge perception, and farsighted-
ness being characteristic, and having per-
lect control of ills nervous forccs, he Uuilb
without a rival in the perlormauce of those
delicate operations 011 eyes that almost in
variably proves successlul. The removal
of cataracts being the capital operation lu
surgery, ia done as dextrously by him as
any operator ever did or culi do; and all
other operations, equally as tcleniilically
and successfully.
Tho numerous encomiums passed upon
Dr. Davis, by the press, are evidence ol
tbe appreciation of tbe people who have
been the recipients of his wonderful skill.
The sttllctod should not hesitate to avail
themselvos of scouring the services of this
noted specialist.
Every disease pertaining to tho eye, ear,
noBe and throat, medicinally and surgtcally,
receive his special attention, and you
should not fail to consult him whenever
you have opportunity. Ills home oflico is,
009 Elm street, Dallas, Texas. Visits made
to perform operations on eyes, at tbe homes
of patients, when desired. Will be in
Denton from June 3rd to 10th ; will be In
Cleburne from June 12th to 18th.
