Grattan Grange.

The Grange February 10th was well
attended and everybody seemed to en-
/ JOY being present. The joining people
wore their best clothes and best be-
bavior, and had perfumery on their
handkerchiefs. The older members
were not far behind as regards good
feelings, especially Brother Ramsdell.
A large amount of correspondence was
on the secretary's desk to be read and
disposed Of Brother Ackert rendered
his resignation as correspondent to the
BELDING BANNER on act of not being
able to be present at all the meetings.
He feels that he has been used lust
right" by the Grange and the editor
OF the BANNER, and extends his thanks
to both, believing that the Grattan
Grange is the banner Grange in Kent
county and that the BELDING BANNER
is the best local paper this side OF the
Rocky Mountains. After an intermis-
sion the following program was intro
duced by the Lecturer Mrs. Ramsdell:
Select Reading ........... Mrs. Laura Clemens
Recitation, "Sbe got Fool for Husband
and he got Fool for a Wife, Ira Smith
Select Reading. ............ Mrs. John Emmons
Essay OTTO Slayton
Recitation. ......... Fannie Bookey
A Dutch piece recited by Clayton
Scott brought down the house and kept
it down till he consented to take the
floor again and he then recited Tim
O'Gradies Goat" and he was cheered
till the old hall shook.
Otto Slayton's essay on 'Fertilizing
our Farms" was we'll handled and good
thoughts were brought out. He is a
graduate from the Agricultural Col
lege and is a young gentleman that the
Grange feels proud of.
The Kent County Grange will hold
a meeting at the Silver Lake Grange
hall, March lst and End. The pro-
gram is a good one but perhaps if the
lecturer of the County Grange had Sc
lected some one from among the mem
bers belonging to the County Grange
from this Grange to speak it would
have had a tendency to have secured
a larger delegation from this Grange.

For ten solid years, said New
Orleans broker, 81 lived in perpetual
appreht nsion of sudden death. A doc
tor in Texas told me--confound his pic.
ture-that 4 had valvular heart disease,
and If wanted To stay on earth | must
avoid every species of excitement. |
did my best to follow his advice, but
that miserable specter was at my elbow
day and night and embittered my whole
existence. don't believe l am cow
ard, but the thought preyed on me un-
til began to fear for my sanity.
"At last, after all these years of in
finite precaution, / went to first class
specialist to find out how much longer
I'd last and was assured that hadn't
one single symptom of the malady. Talk
about removing a mountain from a
man That assurance knocked off an en-
tire range. 1t changed the color of the
universe in twinkling, and l was so
happy ! wanted to just throw up my
hat and yell
THAT was couple of years ago, and
l have enjoyed myself tiptop ever since
up to one day last week, when | hap
pened to be chatting with the specialist
and remarked that I'd like TO murder
that sawbones in Texas. Il don't blame
you, he said That man had no right
to tell you that you had heart disease
If l had found you right at death IS door,
l certainly would never have let you
know it. Now, by Jove, / don't know
who or what to believe and am drifting
back to the old state of uncertainty. i
wish l lived in a cannibal island and
bad never heard of doctors. New Or
