by those who heard, and was highly com

''Mr. M. Whitehead, of New Jersey
Lecturer Of the National Grange, is still {
comparatively young man, and is fearless
but pleasant speaker. He says he is far

has found opportunity for the culture Of
mind as well as body and the soul. He
talked one and half hours in a plain
straight forward manner, and made many
telling points. '-Spring Lake Republican

distinguished gentleman, is. not an every
