Old Winter was in one of his best moads
last Thursday. The weather contributed
largely to the happiness of men, women and
children, hundreds of than engaging in the
varied entertainment of the day with Zest
/ THAI in isself was truly refreshing. The
face of the little girl was radiant with smiles
/ when she thought OF the Thanksgiving dinner
at Aunt--'s, where SO many of her aunts,
tuncies, cousins ana others would be where
grandfather would take her of into corner
~.
Of his life The young mans heart was full
of JOY in the presence Of his "fsie laGye,"
and the silvery-haired old man, as he feebly
pressed his way through the exultani throng,
caught back the spirit Of youth, and returned
to his home much edited and refreshed.
/ The sleighing was hrst-class, adording an
opportunity for oil who talk horse to
"show off," The fine drive from the north
side park to the cemetery was crowded with
bob. seghs and cutters from early morning
till late Ia the evening There was o contin-
ual struggle by fast horses for the "lesd.'
The air was filed with The music of bells,
the merry laugh rang cut in joyful tones, and
altogether we have never seen the people OF
Kenosba more determined to be happy.
Mr.. EDITOR AN article in last weeks
TELEGR APH gives some figures relating to
he expense of the Grange organization. Your
correspond enps figures are probably accurate,
bat he does not state The whole fact hi the

National Headquarters Of the Grange il quite
au institution, ard that however econ, mic

with considerable expense. The tuiiding
occupied Is modest three story trick, but
it is q beehive within. What with max
ing purchases, sending out goods to Oranges
in all parts OF the country, aid forwarding
documents necessary for the establishment
and organization Of subo rdirate oranges, o.

rshize this concern by joining the grange
+ let them do so. Meanwhile let all the rest
ion the farmers clubs, which come cheaper
and may, il properly conducted, contribute
) much to the Improvement and entertainment
its members. But let them give honor
to whom honor is due, ard remember that
they are reaping where the grapgers have
sown, for until the subject had been canvas
sed and agitated by the same oranges. there
was not, I believe, g farmers club in Keno

club next Saturday evening, prepared with
E "thoughts that speak and words that burn"

the Grange headquarters cast grateful
