NIGHT AT THE GRANGE

ANNIVERSARY NIGHT AT THE GRANGE
 Anniversary night at the Grange on Monday night was the pleasantest since it's organiza tion. 1t seemed a sort of continuation of all the good things for the past seven years. The hall was well filled, over 40 being pres ent. Quite number from Bridgewa- ter and New Fairfield Oranges were present. The principal feature of the program was the response to roll call by the numbers present and reading a number of letters of greeting from those members who have left town. Not member present failed to re- spond and a large number of absent ones. Many of the responses concern ed the early history of the Grange, it's organization, it's workings, it's benefits, to the individual and the community Many were so deserving of special mention it is hard to refrain, where all did so well your correspondent ought not to draw comparisons. Dep- uty J. H. Blakeman of Stratford, who organized the Grange, was present with very nice address, followed by the State Master Patterson, who gave one of his characteristic addresses which was closely listened to. This program interSpersed with music clos ed at II o'clock, followed Grange feast.
