has been removed, the work of filling
in with gravel will commence, and a

clouds during the summer, despite
the street sprinkler, will subside with
this Improvement.
The Grange sociable last Friday
evening was quite largely attended,
the seating capacity being over
,dra an. The literary exercises at
Tracted much attention and applause,
and the Northumberland was par
ticipated in by all with the vim that
good edibles, prepared by Granger
hands, always prompts. The hall
decorations we're very elaborate and
attested that the designers were in
touch with nature. The effect pro-
duced will linger long in the memory
of those who saw what active brains
and willing hands can do with that
in close reach. This decorative fea-
ture can we'll be carried into the home
in country as we'll as village life. The
object lesson presented by our Grang-
er friends should not fall into bar
rem ground.
Attention Comrades.
