Gossip Of the Oranges.

At a recent meeting Garland Grange re-
ceived 13 applications for membership, a
fact which indicates that this grange is
| prospcring.
The prospects of St. Albans Grange
were never more encouraging than they
arc at present. A class of six received the
first and second degrees at a recent meet
| ing.
| East Jefferson is holding its winter
meetings at the homes of the different
members This grange will probably
erect some comfortable horse sheds
another season.
| Wherever the grange has been most
used says Master Long of Texas, there
has been the most increase of membership
and the greatest achievements in every
line of progress.
The experience of thousands of grang
ers has proved beyond any question that
| it pays to attend the grange meetings, and
to keep the order up, and also that it pays
to be prompt in attendance.
The officers elect of Verona Grange
Bucksport, were recently installed by Mrs
Hattie Hartman, assisted by Mrs. A. III.
Whitmore. The installation was public
and was largely attended. A supper
followed
The grange of Norway is very pros
porous organization. 1t owns two build
ings in the village which beside furnish
ing hall are rented for various pur-
poses. At the annual meeting after pay
ing insurance, taxes, etc, dividend of
four and onehalf per cent was declared.
Pleasant Valley Grange is having in
creased interest in its meeting. Excel
lent literary programmes are arranged for
each meeting and an important topic
given out for discussion which bring out
ideas new and instructive to many of the
members, and are at the same time of great
benefit to those who participate in them.
Very much depends upon the tact and
enterprise of the master and lecturer,
about keeping up an interest in the
grange meetings and discussions. These
officers should study the capacity and
tastes of the members before assigning
any kind of work. 1t requires some tact
to run grange successfully, and little
self study also might not come amiss.

EASTERN SHORE.
The Lawyers In the Massey-Piiot
Case-Pure Water.

ONANCOCK, July 3l.-(Special)-The
verdict of the jury in the Massey-Pilot
case has been thoroughly discussed here,
and the almost unanimous opinion pre-
walls that the penalty inflicted is very
small. Ii is rather remarkable that OF
the six lawyers employed In the case,
four are natives of the Eastern Shore
Of Virginia. John Nicely and John 5.
Wise. being from Accomac. and Judge
Heath and 4. Z. Thorn. from Northamp-
ton. John S. Wise was born in Brazil,
while his illustrous father was United
States Minister to that country.
1t is the opinion Of many of the physl-
clans of the Eastern Shore hat
the prevalence Of bilious dysentery and
typhoid-fever In this section is largely due
10 the use Of impure water. Nearly all
the wells here are very shallow. but few
Of them being over twenty feet deep. In
many instances these wells are in close
proximity to barnyards and other sources
Of surface contamination. In the opinion
OF many the best way to secure a good
suppiy OF pure water ts 10 have pumps
driven down from fifty 10 one hundred
feet. An experiment has been made on
the grounds Of the Margaret Academy.
where excellent water has been obtained
at the depth Of fifty-ive feet.
Judge Beverly A. Hancock has just con-
Guided a special term of the Circuit Court
Of Accomac for Judge Gunter.
