Grange deputy J. G. Harding of Waldo,
who is also Master of Pomona Grange, was
present, accompanied by his wife. The
deputy made some interesting and instruc

been disposed of, and the meeting called to
order, home talent produced an excellent
literary entertainment. A fine recitation
was given by Mrs. Shibles of Sunlight
Grange, Knox. Few younger ladies could
| surpass her. Two dialogues, among the
many other good things, caused much
amusement "The Love of Bonnet" bv

By invitation Granite Grange Of North
Searsport met with Morning Light Grange
! OF Monroe, Sept. 18th. 1t was very pleas
ant evening and Granite Grange turned ont
in force. Some 80 members were present
and with about 100 from Morning Light
made up goodly number. 1t was found
that the grange hall would not accommodate
them all, and after a good square harvest
feast prepared by the good sisters of Monroe
the company adjourned to the town hall,
which was soon filed with smiling faces
and happy Changers. Worthy Master Daw-
son called the Grange to order, and after tlt
reglllar order of business THE following bro
gramlne was given: Singing w the choir;
| address of welcome by If O. Buzzeu of
Monroe Grange; (This was very fine and re-
tected much credit upon the young man) ;

| thanks was taken for the manner in which
we had been ent artained by Morning Light
Grange. A motion was made to hold
! monthly meetings the Thursday on or be-
fore the full moon, through the fall and com
ing winter, with the Oranges in the eastern
! part of the county. The first will be held
with Morning Light Grange, Monroe, Oct.
10. 1t will be picnic dinner with no ex-
pense whatever to the grange where we
meet. The officers of the grange where the
meeting is held will fill the chairs of this
union grange. We have long felt the want
OF such meeting. We have nearly half Of
the Patrons of Waldo county in this section
and can fill any Grange hall we have.
| Notice will be given through the county
papers same as tine county grange now is
1t is not intended to conflict with our coun-
ty grange, only to give us a chance to meet
the trouble of getting up dinner and max
ing so much trouble and work for the sis
ters. A Patron.
