MAINE STATE GRANGE MEETING.

To THE p. OF III. OF OXFORD Co.
At the last regular meeting OF Norway
Grange arrangements were made COR the
coming session of Maine State Grange as
follows:
The meeting will be held in Opera
House and will be called to order a,
1890. A special session of Oxford
County Pomona Grange will be held in
Norway Grange Hall at 10 o'clock, for
the purpose of giving the fifth degree to
those members of subordinate oranges
who have not taken it, and who wish to
take the sixth degree.
Dinner TO be of the basket picnic style
in the dining hall of Norway Grange,
and this grange to furnish coffee for all.
All those who intend to take the sixth
degree should, as far as possible, be sup
piled with the blank applications sent
to each grange, these to be signed by
either the master or secretary of each
subordinate grange. The degree will
probably be given the last of the after
noon session. The address of Sister j..
j. Woodman of Pawpaw, Mich, one of
the chief features of the meeting, will
probably be given, the first part OF the
afternoon session.
Patrons, this is the last of series of
meetings held in the different counties
of the state to prepare for the National
Grange, which will be held at Lewiston,
later in the season. Our state officers
expect class of 200 at this meeting to
take the sixth degree. Can we not do
better than that and give them 800? If
each one who has decided to take this
degree will induce one more to do so,
there will be no trouble in doing this.
Brothers and sisters, come to Norway,
Aug. 24-come and show our worthy
state officerr what Oxford County pa
irons can do when occasion offers.
Come and receive new courage and en-
thusiasm in the glorious work of our
beneficient order.

And walk across the dewy fields, to where the
tasseled corn,
With glistening blades and waving plumes, mods
Each stalk in place, with stately grace. in orderly
array.
How CHEEKY sound the wild birds songs; how
fresh and pure and sweet,
The odorous morning breezes blow across the
fields Of wheat.
How bright the Eastern Heavens glow, lit by

When from behind the eastern hills he rises into

The smiles Of nature freely beam DER all the

And every child OF natures own gives back 8
grateful glance"
