The Grange advance. [volume] (Red Wing, Minn.) 1873-1877, 1876-06-28
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. - TIT

citizens of Featherstone township in
tend to have social gathering on the
Fourth of July; kind Of basket pic
mic and innocent jubilee. TO be held
at the grove Of Thomas Featherstone.
Former residents are particularly invit-
ed, and glad welcome to friends in
adjoining towns is hereby extended.
Signed for the committee on pro-
gramme. J. G. JOHNSON.
IT is expected that persons attending
the Fourth of July celebration will
bring eatables with them. The COM
mittee propose to furnish meats and
coffee and tea, and contributions are
being literally made by citizens of
bread, vegetables, pies, cakes, &C., for
the generable table. There will, no
doubt, be an ample supply, but if those
who can conveniently do so bring some
thing along it will insure an abundance.
Those cheap goods at Simmons &
Strandnes are not all sold, and they
have recently replenished their stock,
so that such as have not yet had oppor-
tunity to get supplies will be in time if
they give them call. It is really one
of the best places in the city to trade,
if you want to get a good article of
Dry Goods cheap, and their stock of
groceries is always full and to be sold
as cheaply as those Of any other store
in town.
The crowded state Of our columns
last week, on account Of the circus ad-
vertisement, compelled US to omit a con-
siderable amount of matter which we
ought to have published. One matter
of Importance was the vote of thanks by
Pomona Grange, No. 3, p. Of II. to
Hon. Chris. Graham for the free use of
his hall for a place of meeting and, al
so, a vote of thanks to Messrs. Melon
aid & Kellogg for the use of furniture,
by the Grange. These gentlemen very
kindly rendered the use of the chairs
and tables required and took a good
deal of trouble to accommodate the
Grange.

ABOUT four o'clock on Saturday eve
ming this vicinity was visited by terrif-
ic wind and rain storm, accompanied
with thunder and lightning. Signs,
boxes, loose boards, ETC., were scattered
about the streets, and for a time it
seemed as if considerable damage to
property must occur, but we have not
heard Of any thing more serious than
the overthrow of an unfniehed barn,
and the removal of some scaffolding
about a building in the course of cree
ton. Our neighbor of The Republican
had the. misfortune to lose his job
printing sign, which was torn from its
position on top of the house in which
