The December monthly meeting of Olney
Grange, on the 9Th instant, was the TWEEN
ty-first anniversary of the formation of
that society, and some 200 members and
guests, old and young, assembled in the
Grange Hall at p H., and, after de-
lightful social reunion, bountiful handed
supper was served to all. Music, speeches
and recitatiOns were next in order, and
then there was a call for charter members
of the various oranges represented. Seven
of Olney's original band stood up, by re-
quest, and there were nine such from
Ashton Grange, which had been almost
completely absorbed by Olney some twenty
years ago. There seemed to be perfect
unanimity of opinion that Oney's coming
of age was a gratifying success. An cleo
ton of officers for the ensuing year result
ed as follows: Master, John G. Bentley;
overseer, George F. Nesbitt; lecturer, Miss
