Waldo Pomona Grange met with Comet
Grange, Swanville, March 7th. The travel
ing was bad, yet it did not prevent men,
bers from coming a long distance. As
none of the county officers were present
no meeting was held in the forenoon. Comet
Grange had one of their best dinners, and it
was enjoyed by all after the long ride.
Worthy Master Smart opened the Grange
in the fourth degree and after few well
chosen remarks by Tolford Durham the
program prepared by Comet Grange was
carried out in a very able and pleasing man.

mitted to see it's close, let us strive at the
beginning to

brings you here. We are banded together
under the nar,a of Patrons of Husbandry.
We must lay aside all personal feelings and
strive only for the Improvement and ad-
