the usual grange work, the lecturer,
Mrs. Putnam, furnished a pleasing
program consisting of talk by sew

pleasant evenings entertainment.
The next meeting will be held Satur-

good things promised in the lecturers

hoped and expected that every mem
Der of the grange that can get through
the mud will be present with a quo
