Mr. Joseph S. Lovenstein, son Of Mr..
Joseph Lovenstein of Lee Roy Myers <
Co, has been engaged as travelling rep
resentative of the Savannah steam bak-
cry, and will make his first trip on the
road next Wednesday. His father is one
of the best known travelling men in Savan-
nah, having been on the road for many
years, and is now the president of the Sa-
Vannah post of the Travellers Protective
Association. With this advantage in
training the son will no doubt make an
able representative in that capacity.

For several months, the Greenvillt

AT the late dairyman's meeting at Rut-
land, the editor of the Maine Farmer spoke
about the patrons of Grove leaving the
creamery here, as he had noticed the fact
in the papers. We are very sorry to think
that farmers will not stand by each other,
especially when they have a distinctively
farmers industry among them, controlled
and managed by farmers for the benefit of
farmers. 1t is, however, pleasing to note
that the creamery has more cream to handle
than before the disaffection, and we conf
IDENTIFY predict that all the better farmers
will eventually return to this creamery.

PUTNEY.
The knights of Honor installation.

The knights OF Honor installation.
The last, but by no means the least of
the seasons fraternal social events occurred
in Masonic hall last Friday evening, when
there was held the annual installation of
officers of Delta lodge, No. 1947, of Knights
of Honor. The hall was well filled, though
not so crowded as on former like occasions.
The committee on arrangements was much
disappointed because of its inability to
present to the company of guests Hon. l..
NJ. Read of Bellows Falls, who had been
engaged to occupy the speakers chair, but
who notified the committee at a late hour
that he would necessarily be detained by
official duty. The deficiency, however,
was largely made up by the presence of
other out-of-town guests, by the excellence
and attractiveness of the musical selections,
by the sumptuous repast in the lower hall,
and, above all, by the all pervading spirit
of genuine sociability. Eminent men and
women several times each year pay to the
town of Putney the tribute of being a rep
resentative town, in fact the banner town
of Windham county in so far as suppers,
sociables and entertainments make it so
and that reputation was safely intrusted in
the hands of the Knights of Honor.
After delicious supper, which was no
small feature of the program, the installa-
ton of officers occurred, with G. w. Kim
ball installing officer and f. f. Robertson
grand guide. The officers installed were:
W. W. Wing, past dictator; d. E. Graves,
dictator; E. E. Patterson, vice dictator;
M. G. Williams, assistant vice dictator;
j. j. Knight, reporter; c. w. Kimball,
financial reporter; j. w. Stowell, treas
urer; M. H. Pember, chaplain; L. D.
Gorham, guide; N. 1. Gale, guardian;
Sumner Phillips, sentinel.
G. w. Kimball announced the presence
of Peter Chase, and called for remarks,
which we're forthcoming in the form of
friendly roast at the expense of the Install
ing officer and in Mr.. Chase's characters
tic good humUr. Mr.. Chase's remarks were
followed by remarks by b. G. Newell of
