Besides, I'm thinking they'll defer it more than one, two and three years if they wait for them grangers to pay 'em back their money with what they can raise. "But ain't it funny how you and me made all that money? It's a proof of what industry and economy can do when they can't help theirselfs. When Tug Patterson wished this range on me forty years ago I hated him sinful.
You could have Laura's brougham, of course; but if she wants you to go with the Grangers, you must go. Her word is law; and she's sure to ask me about it by-and-by. She's a wonderful woman; thinks of everything." They met Mr. and Miss Granger presently, dressed for the journey. "O, if you please, Granger, I want you to take Miss Lovel home in your carriage. You've plenty of 'room, I know."
That leaves only one payment more. Somebody's going to be out in the cold before long; but it won't be us." "No," says I; "it'll be them grangers." "It ain't them that's going to get the worst of it it's Old Man Wisner," says he. "As for us, we can't go back there no more we're city folks now. I've got to stay here to watch Old Man Wisner a while and you've got to ride that fence.
Since negroes were not admitted, the proportion of the total white agricultural population in the Grange was perhaps as high in the South as in any other part of the Union. In the years that followed, the order underwent the same disintegration in the South as elsewhere. As a class the Southern Grangers did not take an active part in politics.
He was really the ablest man in that part of the State, and could wield the Democratic party like a pistol. He succeeded in getting Amos, Councill, Jennings, and a few other leading grangers to sign his call for a people's convention to nominate county officers and the member of the legislature. It really amounted to a union of the independent Republicans and the young Democrats.
Not until he was convinced that he might at least trust the Grangers did he lay aside his suspicions and join with other farmers in the attempt to obtain what they considered just railroad legislation. Certain it is, moreover, that the Grangers made use of the popular hostility to the railroads in securing membership for the order.
Pop and I've gotten so down in the dumps trying to work the thing out that we've lost our sense of values." "Inventors never have any," laughed Kraus, with a change in his voice. And he commenced hastily to talk of other things, to Dale's disappointment. Robin pulled timidly at Dale's arm. "Who's Grangers?" "Grangers? Don't you know the big mills up at South Falls?"
"Well, well, I'll bring them just to say good-bye that's all Come along, Miss Lovel." Clarissa followed him through the corridor. "O, if you please, Mr. Armstrong," she said, "I did not like to worry Lady Laura, but I would so much rather go home alone in a fly." "Nonsense! the Grangers can take you.
During the campaign there had been much wild talk about internal improvements. The mania which had taken possession of the people in most Western States had affected the grangers of Illinois. It amounted to an obsession. The State was called upon to use its resources and unlimited credit to provide a market for their produce, by supplying transportation facilities for every aspiring community.
An' right near was Mark Kellogg, th' Bismarck Tribune's newspaper man. He wasn't scalped or touched; just lay as he fell. "Kellogg savvied Injuns, an' used t' say in his paper, 'Hold on a minute, let's talk this over, when all th' long-whiskered grangers, what had come in from Illinois, would raise a holler, an' want th' United States soldiers t' kick th' Injuns off th' land what they owned.
