1t is so late in the .eason that it is
doubtful if there is a cattle show and
fair here this fall This is matter
that is very largely in the hands of the
farmers and the lateness of the season
in securing their crops rendered IL diff
cult for them to attend to it at the time
when it should have been held. In fact,
the days that were appointed for show
were in the midst of harvesting the
sweet corn. After the rush was over
the adjoining towns were holding their
shows and really there has been no OPP
portunity until now. Next season pre-
parations will be made early and good
show and fair will be held. Most likely
the grange will have charge of the
matter, or at least cooperate with those
outside Of the order in carrying the
work along to successful show and
fair which can easily be done. The
grange of itself is strong enough to hold
good exhibition. In fact, one of the
best.
Arson grange had fine meeting last
at l o'clock, and after disposing of some
routine business, the first and second
degrees were conferred on Misses Daisy
and Ella Young, and the third and
fourth degrees on Mrs. viii Caswell,
Mrs Martha f. Bunker, Mr.. and Mrs.
Carroll Caswell. After the degree work
was finished, the members of the grange
sat down TO a harvest feast prepared by
I,a 1oI Of ha a nj
the regular program was given, on ac-
count of the lateness of the hour. The
general subject was Maine, treated un-
der four heads: LIST, history; 2d, re-
sources 3D., noted men; 4, grange in
Maine. The historical talk on Maine
was given by the chaplain who incident
ally referred to some of the noted
characters of Names history The rest
OF the pSogram was put over TIL the
next meeting. AS a social factor in the
community, the Grange stands in an i'm
portant position. 1t is the fashion with
some to decry it as an order, but its
work is far reaching-it brings the peo-
pie of the country and the village in
touch, and makes for brotherhood.
