Interesting Session at Bluehill Mineral
Spring.
NORTH BLUEHiLL, Aug. Is Especially
Over 1000 people from all over the
county gathered at Biuehiii mineral spring
yesterday for the annual field meeting OF
Hancock County Pomona grange. The
large grove adjoining the spring was
fitted with seats and a speakers stand,
which with the natural advantages Of the
grounds made an ideal place for the field
meeting-the first ever held in Biuehill.
The exercises began after II O'Clock.
There WAS singing by quartette COM
posed OF Charles e. Clough, Misses Bessie
aud Daisy Clough and A. &. Osgood, wit h
NJ iss Gertrude Ciough, OF Boston, as Or
ganist.
Bro. Hartman, of Bucksport, chairman
OF the county committee, introduced John
f. Dority, master of the Hancock Pomona
grange, who gave an able address of well
come. This was responded to by Bro.
Alfred Smith, OF Bucksport, whose voice
is so familiar to the Patrons and Is always
gladly listened to.
b. W. Mckeen, secretary OF the board
OF agriculture and one OF our staunchest
grangers, then addressed the meeting in
his usual interesting way.
After dinner, and singing by the
quartette, short but stirring addresses
were given by Boyden Bearce, OF East
Eddington, member Of the State execu-
tive committee, and by o, Gardner, OF
Rockland, worthy master OF the State
grange.
Music was interspersed between the
speeches, one selection being delightful
solo by Miss Daisy Lou Clough, a recent
graduate OF Bluehill academy and now OF
Boston, W no has finely trained voice.
Hon. Aaron Jones, OF South Bend, Ind,
master OF the national grange, held the
attention of the assembly for nearly an
hour, talking along the lines Of agricul-
ture and grange work. The presence and
discourse OF the distinguished national
master was truly great treat to the
Patrons of this county, and to all others
present.
The last but never least OF the speakers
was Rev. E. Bean, of Bluehill, who said
he estimated the grange next to the
church as a promoter OF good in rural
farming communities.
After more music, votes OF thanks were
extended to Bro. Thomas Grieve, super
intendent Of the mineral spring, for his
hospitality; also to those who SO kindly
furnished the music, and to the speakers
