On Thursday last the proceedings OF the
West Virginia State Grange at MarIinsburg
were interspersed aud enliyened with vocal
and instrumental music of appropriate char
acter. Alexander Clohan presided during
the morning session, owing to the absence
Of Worry Master Knott. The discussion
and adoption of the various committees re-
ports occupied most Of the day. The re-
speotive representatives of the different
oranges submitted their reports. showing
the grange in the State to be in a condition
OF growth and finance better than ever be-
fore. An oyer-productiOn of all kinds OF
grain during the year and correspondingly
low prices was the substance of the report
Of the committee on agriculture.
A resolution to request the National
Grange to establish at Washington nation
al organ to be under the supervision Of the
legislative committee was rejected.
The committee on claims and grievances
reported recommending that hereafter all
disagreements arising among members oil
any subordinate grange be referred to
board Of arbitration for settlement.
The committee on legislation recommends
that the State Legislature make sufficient
appropriation to enable every county to hold
a farmers institute and also that the tax
laws be revised that every species Of proper
" shall be equally taxed.
The amendment to the constitution of the
National Grange, requiring thirteen per-
sons. of which there must be at least four of
either sex. to organizea subordinate grange,
instead Of nine men aud four women, as
heretofore, was Endorsed.
The adoption Of the cOmmitte reports on
dormant oranges makes it the imperative
duty of every master Of subordinate
grange to organize or reorganize a grange
during the year.
