GRANGE MEMBERS SHOW LOTS OF EN-
THUsIAsM.
Wednesday of last week the Excelsior
Pomona Grange met at Watertown.
There was a good attendance present
from the local Grange and also from the
neighboring towns. Among the speakers
we notice the name Of the state worthy
master: Lunch was served by the ladies
or the local Grange at noon. In the af-
ternoon, during the lecturers hour. q frat
class program for good OF the order was
presented by the Younger members.
Owing to the storm, last Thursday, only
a few turned out TO the regular Grange
meeting. As there was not sufficient
number present to make q quorum the
meeting was omitted. Next Thursday
evening business OF Importance will be
presented, and 1t is expected that there
VIII be good attendance. Out of all
the fraternal societies In town none are
more jealous In attending meetings than
the Grange members. All through the
year, even in the farmers busy season,
good number can always be found on
hand when the regular meeting on
thursday evening comes around. This
shows commendsble spirit ON their part
and one worthy OF emulation by the
other societies.
1t had just commenced to feel @ little
like spring when the snow storm Of last
week swooped down on us and dispelIaa
any Illusions which may have been en-.

ever, will probably be the last this
season. We want It TO 60 on record that
we are perfectly satisfied to have spring
come just as soon as it pleases. It can't
come too soon.
