The ladies of the Sidney Grange served
a fine. old-style, Grange dinner. They
had enough for everyone and it was well
cooked and served.
The Sidney people believe that they
could hold big fair if they had grounds
fenced in SO they could charge admission
and have some money to offer as prem-
ums. Only ribbons are now given.
