The Harvest Feast.

The Harvest Feast of the Patrons of
Husbandry, which is to take place at
10 clock a. M, on the 18th Of Septem-
Der, will be held at grounds near the
meeting place of the Hay Greek VAL
ley Grange. This change Of the
place or holding the meeting has been
made at the suggestion Of the members
of Hay Greek Grange, because it is
more centrally located and more desire
able than the place Of meeting of their
own grange, which was first appointed
for holding this festival.
We understand that the members of
Hay Greek and Hay Greek Valley
oranges have united in making ample
preparations for this occasion, and as
the Patrons of this county generally are
expected to attend and those from ad-
joining counties are cordially invited, it
is hoped that there will be large gath
ering and an interesting time. Invita-
tions have, also, been extended to the
Master of the State Grange and some
other distinguished members of the Or
der, but it is not yet known whether
they will be present.
Patrons of this county and especially
those living near, are respectfully re-
quested to bring such eatables as they
can conveniently, to contribute to the
feast. 1t is, also, proposed that all who
attend shall bring samples Of agricul.
tural products for exhibition. A com.
mlttee will be appointed to take charge
of these and arrange them for display,
with the names of the owners attached,
and it is hoped to make an attractive
exhibition of this description.
The programme Of exercises will con.
sist of an address on harvest festivals,
appropriated songs, toasts and respon.
ses, etc.; and croquet and other out.
doors exercises will be provided. 1t is
expected to have good music IN attend
ance.
