COUNTY GRAAJCtF3.-S iaIntou was overrun
with Changers last Saturday They common
ced :iociliag lii from The four cardinal points Of
the compass early in the morning, and settled
il squads on the street, discussing with each
ether, matters pertaining to their organization,
we presume until about II O'Clock, when they
gradually gravitated towards Town Hall, where
they were to assemble TO form County Grange.
Masters and delegates from "a subordinate
Changers, and numerous floating members,
Were present. The meeting WAS composed OF
about 1910 representatives, and after some pre-
liminary unilnportafl5 business, proceeded to
the ofject Of their assembling Deputy G. w.
Koiner, president Che County Grange was
organized with the following officers:
Master geo. Seawrigll5; Overseer, J. Tow
herman; Lecturer, G. w. Koiner; Secretary
w. Il. II. Lynn Steward, b, E. Cochran As
sistant Steward, S. II. McCae; Treasurer, Col
S. A. East Chaplain, Rev. W. Greene Gate
keeper, G. B. Koiner. After the transaction Of
some other business, the Grange adjourned to
meet in this place again on the 4th day Of
june.
A gaily diked incipient granger, astridc a
high-metted steell, canle dasiing into the city
and o5servinga long procession Of beautiful and
ioyons young lodies, passing along Main street,
he nervously propountled the question, who
are they?' A knowing soung man, answered
the interrogatory by stating thst they were
candidates for GtangertIom, and were about
to be Unlisted. He instantly determined to
link his fortunes with the order, and to make
as favorable presentation as possible, called to
his all one of onr fashionable BARRIERS, bedew-
ed his head with cologne and ponaatum, and
proceeded to Che Hail. for the purpose of SEN
ding in his petition. We did not learn the re-
suit, but fear he changed his mind after he as
certained that the Young ladies constituted one
/ Of our popular female Schools, and were only
taking their morning stroll, instead Of march
ing with solemn tread into the mysterious pre-
cincts Of the Patrons of tiusbandry.
