Hon B. c. Patterson Visits Poo.
 tatuck Grange.

MASTER OF THE CONNECTICUT STATE
 GRANGE.
 About 60 were present at the regular meeting, Tuesday evening, to welcome Hon E. c. Patterson, Master of the State Grange. It was the first time state master had ever visited the local Grange and he gave the members good practi- cal talk. Mr Patterson is 6 practical farmer, an easy speaker and wide awake to the best interests of the Grange. He said he had been walking in a field a good part of the day before leaving home sewing grass seed. He was pleae- ed to pay 8 visit to Newtown. He be- lieves in organization and especially for the farmer and the best way to do 1t just at present was through the Grange. He believes all the young people should join the Grange. There was only one thing better than the Grange and that was the church. He was especially interested in the abandoned farms of New England. He was glad to see large numbers of them taken up and being worked again. There is still money in farming. The farmer is the most independent man on earth. He was very much interested in the.coming of the free rural mail delivery, & great work of the Grange. Fairfield County is to have it all over the county by July l. The second county in the United States to have it complete. It will be great benefit to the rural peo. pie. He wanted to see Pootatuck Grange
 grow and prosper. He wanted to see
 twice as many members present next
 time he came and hoped we would have
 them.
 Hon H. W. Andrews, Overseer of thu Fairfield County Pomona, was present and made few remarks to the point ana gave those present good sharp hin that it was for their best interest to joil the Grange. The evening WAS practical
 ly devoted to music and in charge 0 Mueical Director Charles G. Peck, whs ' certainly made 1t & success. The balanc D of the program as follows:
 a Plano solo, Miss Laura Mitchell. Violin solo, Arthur Platt, accompanie on the piano by Miss Agnes Platt. Reading, Mrs F. H. Mitchell. - Piano solo, Miss Bessie Glover. Vocal solo, Arthur Platt, which wa '' loudly encored.
 Reading from a new work on our Ne 's England towns and farmss K. L. Johl 'l son.
 '' Violin solo, Arthur Platt.
 The evening closed with collatio
 which did the usual credit to our ladie
 There were three tables and everyo, a. had great plenty. Miss Sarah B. M .t nor and Byron Merwin were electt .e members of the Grange. The visito ,s from Brookaeld Grange were F. f.. Beers and wife, H. W. Andrews al os wife, J. Beach Hawley and Miss Flo he Griffin. It was an instructive and enjo oa able evening.

 Cheviot, that sturdy wool stuff worn all the year round, in spring weight and finish Cheviot is named after the Cheviot hills sheep from whose fleece the Scotch and English first wove the fabric Something like serge but more open, it soon became one of the mostliked dress fabrics and to-day is as staple as broad cloth or silk.
 None can make cheviot to equal the English. Here is a black one of our own impor- tation at 69c that is wonderful value; soft, durable, finely finished. Others up to $2 a yard.
 Perhaps you prefer colors! They're here. Diagonal chev- iots of fine weave and good solid body dyed in the soft color pastel shades: grays, costors, blues, browns, reds. Many spring suits are now be. ing made up of these worthy goods.
 Yet all this gives but glim' pse of the dress-goods depart ment. Think of over 200 colored fabrics. Think ot above 15o black dress fabrics Think of 1000 patterns 1T fancy silk alone, Not a gooe novelty is missing; not a pool thing in given place.
