A correspondent In the Alabama Farmer
makca the lollowlug application of a forci-
ble saying:
Brethren, allow me to «peak for every
true Aillunco man. I will reproduce the
language of a oongrcasman who was In con-
gress during what Alexander 11. Stephen*
calls tbodsrk days, which gives fUll ex-
pression to my sentiments. 1 quote from
memory, as 1 have no history at baud. An-
other mornbor of Iho body said let ui ad-
journ tor wo bcllovo that the end ol time
I drawing nigh; but thl particular one
suld not so, for if the end Is not drawing
near It would do no good, and If the end is
approaching, I want to be found doing my
duty.
Brethren, if tho cud of tho Alllanco Is not
at hund there is no need to give up the light.'
If It Is, I want to bo found with my right
hand tightly grasped upon tbo Interests of
tho Farmers' Aillunco.
