BY the advice of the Executive Council,

designated a day of fasting and prayer.

ing the principles of righteousness, of truth,
of amity and peace.
This revered and time-honored custom,

worthy of preservation and continuance
and may the day have app ropriate recogni-
tion and be observed in a beftting manner
by all the people of our commonwealth

Union Harvest Grange, Centre n, ntville,
recently had contest in which the Brothers
and Sisters took sides, captained respective
ly by Milton Wentworth and Miss Cora Po-

Seaside Grange is now fully established
in their new hall, and the interest in the
meetings increases. Two candidates took
the first and second degrees last Saturday
evening. The ladies will hold their levee
and fair Thursday afternoon and evening,
April 10th, and indications point to an en-
joyabe time. The formal dedication of the
hall will be held after the travelling becomes

are two handsome chandeliers presented by
James H. Dodge, Chas. r. Eaton and A. E.

By invitation Granite Grange met with
South Branch Grange March 2Sth. Prompt
ly at the usual time Master B. M. Eames
called the Grange to order. After listening
to a well rendered program, in which each
seemed to strive to out do each other.
the smell of coffee told plainly that an old
fashioned harvest feast was waiting in the
dining room below and Bro. Eames declar-
ed an intermission for refreshments, such as
the good sisters of South Branch know so
well how to prepare. After satisfying the
inner man, and good long chat, Bro. Eames
again called the Grange to order. After
| listening to remarks from goodly number,
with more songs, and Sunday being close at
hand Bro Eames closed the Grange, and all
left for their several homes feeling it had
been good to be with South Branch Grange
| and that the evening had not been lost but
would be remembered for many years to
! come. We think there is nothing that will
| build up the order like visiting neighboring
Oranges, spending the evening in forming
new and renewing old acquaintances. We
