Cotter has taken his old one down and
built a new one which adds much TO the APP

A large number Of grangers and Others
attended the celebration at North Cas,ine on
the Fourth. Notwithstanding the day was
sultry, and the travelling very dusty yet a
soodly crowd was gathered on the camp

Soon after nine o'clock the Castine Band

W. NJ. Of Count, Grange. presided with his
usual dignity and grace. In the afternoon,
addresses were made by Mr.. Thing, former
Greenback candidate for Congress, Mr.. Nut
ter of Dexter, and Mr.. Gregory, of Winter
port. Mr.. Thing touched upon some of the
grievances Of which farmers complain. and
the remedy, as it appeared 10 him. He
though the farmers produced more million
aires than any other business that farms
were taxed out Of proportion with other
property that the simple requests Of farm
ers had been denied by politicians and Legs
lators. He then showed what influence the
grange. as an organization, had exerted
upon legislation in the country. While
some points Of his speech were well taken,
others were open 10 criticism and objection.
He was followed BY Mr.. Nutter Of Dexter,
former lecturer of the State Grange, in a
written address. setting forth the glory of
Fourth Of July. and touching upon the
opinion of Washington and other eminen,
statesmen in regard to relation which agri-
culture sustains to the prosperity Of our re-
public. His remarks were very appropriate
to the occasion. He was followed BY Mr..
Gregory Of Winterpor,, who IVES funny,
clear through, and kept the audience in an
uproar. The speeches were in:erspersed
with good music BY the band.
