Under the management of Ceci
Grange, Rising Sun, arrangements
have been nearly perfected for hold
ing Farmers Meeting and Institute
on Woodlawn camp ground, on Tues

"a. Several first class speakers have
been engaged for the occasion and
others have been corresponded with
who are expected to be in attendance
also, and deliver addresses on sub.
jects of general interest as well as
on matters especially pertaining to
agriculture.
Exhibits of farm products, stock,
machinery, implements and house
hold things will be on exhibition,
and persons having anything in these
lines which will contribute to the
interest of the meeting are invited to
send it 10 the grounds.
The prime object of the members
of Cecil Grange in getting up this

the people, not of the neighborhood
only, but from distance where
acquaintance may be formed, views

needs enlargement, to enable them
to keep abreast of the times and not
fall behind to bring up the rear IN

efforts will meet with a hearty re-
