| ANNUAL ADDRESS.
| Br0tkerS and Sisters: We have reach
ed that point in the history of our Order
when apologies for the Grange and ex-
pressions of hope for its success, or fears
of its future have ceased to be in order.
The Grange is established--it is one of the
forces of the day operating in business,
social and political affairs. That farmers
have organized and have an institution
we'll adapted to their wants and necessities
