Pomona Grange Meeting.

Windham County Pomona grange held
very pleasant and interesting meeting
with Evening Star grange. Dummer-
ston Center, February % The large at
tendance present and the interest shown
on the different subjects presented is
convincing proof that the farmers are
fast awakening to new sense Of duty,
and looking more closely than ever after
their own personal interests. The re-
ports from subordinate oranges were
very encouraging, and show incr ased
work of the order. G.. w. Sargent of
Brattleboro read an interesting and in
instructive paper on "How to Make the
Grange Progressive" G. L. Reed spoke
on the Free Coinage of Silver" and
4" Improved Methods in Making Maple
Sugar." by G. ID. Whitman of Brattle-
boro was of an instructive narure. o..
r. Wares talk on the Practical f luca-
ton of the Farn'r' was certainly a
practical lesson of itself. Womau's
Work for the Cause of Temperance" was
well handled by Mrs. 0. Il. Ware, who
is earnest in her work for temperance,
and we heartily recommend her as d
temperance, public speaker. The sing
ing by Mrs. Dearborn, Miss Goodenough
and l.. l.. Stark was an interesting part
of the meeting.

Another move has taken place on the
line of the Concord & Claremont that
goes to show the changes shat are con-
tinually being made in the methods of
doing business. The relaying of the road
with steel has made the existence of the
rail shop at Contoocook unnecessary,
and on March /, this shop was closed.
The shop has been run continuously for
% years giving employment to eight or
ten men during that time.
The Advocate publishes an interview
anent the Black River railroad and says:
"a gentleman who is close observer.
and is well Informed on matters of local
interest, gives the following thoughts on
the Black River railroad enterprise:
s'If it is built, the road will probsbly
come up the Connecticut on the New
Ham shire side, from North Charles
town, for several reasons. One of these
is the directness and feasibility Of this
route. Another, Springfield village
knows that its interests do not lie in help
ing the Weathersfield farmers into
Claremont over free bridge, double
decked or otherwise, and Weathersfield
as corporation is not likely to do much,
if anything, to help build the road. A
third reason is the fact that the Ashley's
Ferry charter protects the grantee from
the erection of a bridge within amile of
the ferry, and compromise with the
proprietor would be one of the items of
expense to be considered before bridging
the river at the point talked of above
Weathersfield Bow.
Local liquor matters have been more
or less Interesting lately. Last week the
Sullivan house, the saloons of NJ. II.
Brady, M. z. Courser, A. j. Hood in the
village and p. Sheridan at the lower vii
lage were raided. Nothing was found at
Courser's orHood's. The proprieturs of
the Sullivan house and Mr.. Brady plead
nolo contendere and each paid fine of
$50 for keeping spirituous liquors for
sale and $40 for keeping beer for sale.
Mr.. Sheridan at the lower village kindly
went for a light but never came back.
The absence of United States revenue
stamp probably explains his sudden de-
parture. The drug stores were visited
and seizures were made at Hollis, Spot
ford's and Brooks. Considerable quan-
| titles were removed from each place. an
officer estimating the amount from all at
about five barrels. The druggists began
suit Immediately for the recovery of
their liquors. Alcohol and wine we're
left at the drug stores on the assumption
| that they were for medicinal purposes.
c. M. Atwood and A. j. Hood paid their
fines, $50 each. This is only the begiL-
ming of trouble for those who are selling
more CT less openly.
