GRATTAN GRANGE.

Thursday evening June 10, was a
pleasant date to remember in connec-
ton with Grattan Grange. This
meeting had been set apart in COM
Flora. The evening was perfect, and
when roll call was announced Grattan
Grange numbered over a hundred in
attendance besides about that num-
Der of visiting friends and as the pro-
gram was announced the hall was
thoroughly filed and the seating ca
pacity did not accommodate all.
Helping hands had tastely arrang-
ed and decorated Flora's Court with
lace Grapes and a bountiful confusion
of most beautiful flowers, roses send
ing their fragrance through the room
until our hall seemed like Garden of
Flowers.
After a short business session the
remaining time was given our Worthy
Lecturer who carried out the follow
ing program:
Our Flora, Miss Lula jerks, acorn
panied by her Flower girls, Mabel
Wood and Dot jerks, all attired in
pure white was escorted to her Court
of Honor by the band and followed by
twenty-four young people.
Worthy Flora addressed her friends
in a few pleasing words after which
each officer presented her with bOu-
quet of flowers and also kind words
were rendered by each She then
gave fine response after which Mr..
Hawley's band gave selection.
This was followed by song by the
choir, paper by Mrs. o. |. Watkins,
duet by Misses Emmons and Watkins,
recitation by Clate Scott. These were
all very nice and enjoyed by all.
The "old maids of our grange were
out in full attire and gave a very
pleasing paniomine OF course all
realize the applause which this
brought forth.
Lastly came the floral drill rendered
by the twelve young ladies attired in
white, and twelve young men. Each
carried beautiful floral offerings for
Flora which were deposited at her
bower. Through Mr.. Hawley's un.
firing efforts, we can but mention the
appreciation and sentiments of our
grange, that the drill was a very en-
joyable success.
After the close of the program a
banquet of ice cream and cake was
soon spread and equally enjoyed by
all
Among those present was Mr.. Geo.
Wood of South Dakota who was one
of the first masters, also secretary
and an interested promoter of Graf
tan grange.
Next meeting, two weeks from
stated meeting, July 3.
