pleasant touching mostly on the principle or of operation cooperation co which we thought would not do to let go unnoticed so far as our institution here hero is concerned A few years ago we had a greater number of shareholders than we nave tave at the present time but our institution was not then incorporated and any members by giving six months notice could draw out their shares and several embraced the opportunity the reason for which each one knows best beat himself we live have now been incorporated between two and three yearb years but so far neither the institution itself or any of the larger shareholders have bought out any persons share to make a monopoly institution of it our out shareholders number at the present time about one hundred and fifty we albo alho wish to state that we are and slid always have been open to receive shares from any member of the church of jesus christ of latter day saints in earlier times our freighting was waa let ont annually to tho lowest responsible bidder but of late the board of oi directors have left it in the hands of the thy superintendent so that instead of hiring one person all the time it could be more equally distributed and after read lug hig the article referred In stated that be had juht juit lately offered your correspondent a load as well as some others at dif erent times who are nol not not shareholders but do their trading with the institution in regard to dividing profits etc ate we have tried a system similar to that mentioned by your co correspondent but we finally came camo to the conclusion that it was rather too laborious for the amount of good realized realize dl and adopted what we consider is the better plan viz to put goods gooda at as low a margin aa as possible and let lot our customers have the benefit bellet lt aa US they go 90 along we as a board of direct orb ora do know that the moat most if not all of our shareholders whether great or small email are willing 9 to bo be handled along

whipped and clubbed on july saints saluta in brasstown Brass Brasa town N 0 were ware given four weeks to ae leave e the state they were threatened with something worse than whipping if the order of the mob was not complied with our oar folks did the beat best they could to dispose of their property but made such bad baies pales of their few effects as to be almost useless to them to aid in getting away to colorado the bobbera and their colleagues bought them out virtually robbing nearly every one ot odther them at the expiration of the four weeks of time most of our people came here to J join oln oin this branch elders lloyd lioyd and hulse being here already to keep them together nearly all who have arrived are in III a destitute condition some have nearly sufficient clent means to emigrate by while others have scarcely anything how they are to be coved moved beyond the reach of mobs is a question to be solved in but one way that I 1 can see and that is by the friendly generosity of our people at home being extended to them in this thia hour of need the young men meri have gone off to seek work ao so as to save the means they already have and possibly add thereto though there is little hope hopoi as work is bard to obtain elder edlefsen and I 1 came down here day before yesterday to try and make some arrangements for the speedy removal of our people to some bafo safo place the visiting and local saints are in pretty good spirits and hopeful that themay of their deliverance will boon soon be man loest irest I 1 expect to return home in about three thre or

and being persuaded and urged by the inh mates 0 of the housel stay ed at to go out to the mob I 1 did eo 0 and had to take a whipping at their hands the robbers were armed and when 1 I 1 endeavored to reason with them it was to no avail when asked why I 1 had to submit to such a cruel indignity they could not sellme tell teli me only youre a mormon and preach such and such principles of the gospel that we doni dont believe in and you must leave the country they said that they did not care for the jaw or constitutional liberty we however have thu far tar disregarded the thu threats of our

all mobs arrest all participators in the recent unlawful tul lul raids and have them ready fr for trial atthe next coura court cour the prosecuting attorney for western N 0 has been instructed ta to bring all these bobbera to speedy justice it seems seema that there la is some virtue in gubernatorial the officers of the state but whether any permanent good will be felt from this action ia Is hard to tell at present however the mob element ia is lying pretty low up there this relentless and unhallowed persecution Is caubin causing g a deep awakening among thinking people and mu much i ch good will undoubtedly be the outcome of it the martyrdom of elder jos standing has been a severe blow to all of the saints and our friends ila in georgia and north carolina also where he made two short abort visits he was beloved beloyed by all wherever he went by saint and sinner he was always in good spirits which together with his humble and unobtrusive manners won for him the esteem and good will of all who had intercourse with him As a missionary he was truly exemplary ern piary plary in humility and frfd rfd meekness mee kneass in diligence and perseverance and faithfulness to every trust we have truly lost a good man let me trespass ws but a few lines further and give your readers the cause of all this raiding and persecution the people in general are very ignorant and I 1 might consistently say eay very contentedly ignorant very few newspapers are taken and few books are ever met even common school books are scarce the preachers are supposed to be well learned and to know everything that is and they are paid by the tho people to preach for them and to keep them informed on all current matters matte tai Taj when a 11 mormon elder comes into a new now field the people are glad to see him and being curious to hear anything any thing new want him to preach which of course he is more than ready to do friends are raised up people see that our preaching ia is reasonable and scriptural scrip tura many begin to investigate and believe the truth all goes well those who do not bee tee with us let us alone and mind their own business circuit riders come in the place and openly lie about defame demean and misrepresent the character of our people and urge the suppression sion slon of mormonism we have the true account of a methodist elder retty petty preaching in clay county and of f another methodist elder ford in nottley cherokee Chero kee keo county who not only maliciously defamed our people and religion but went so far while la the pulpit as to openly and in plain language counsel the people to run out every one who should join our faith and mob and hickory our elders out of the country this was the beginning of the troubles that our saints and eiders elders have had heaped upon them in north carolina and in lit fact in the whole south these unsanctified priests are the real instigators of the daiv ings whippings and murders that have been
