FREEDOM The W. S. R. c. are feeling
much pleased with the success of their en-
tertainnent at the Grange hall, Feb. 18th,
and with plenty of money in the treasury
and everything moving along tremendously
We think they have every reason to be salts
lied with their present condition. The
time and place of the next State Convention
has not yet been announced. We hope it
may come nearer here than it has in the
past, so as to give some of the members of the
Corps a chance to attend -. The contest at
the Grange will close next Saturday. We
thought nearly every body belonged to the
Grange before, but by the way the applica-
tions for membership have been coming in
for the last week it seems there We're quite
a number still outside. But the greatest sur
prise of all has been the talent discovered
among our members. Many of our young
ladies have shown themselves to be first
class actresses, capable of taking any part on
the stage Essays have cone pouring in
from unexpected sources and poets have
blossomed among us as thiclly as the gold
enrod by the roadride in autumn We hope
the interest will continue after the con-
test Closes. Willis Drawn has hired out
for one year with Fred Norton of Level
