The Changers, Outing.

Ideal picnic weather favored the agri-
cuturists on Tuesday, and it is estimated
that fully five hundred grangers, their
families and friends attended the annual
outing of the Burlington County Pomona
Grange at the Mount Holly fair grounds.
The day was one of recreation and all
thoroughly enjoyed the benefits to be de-
rived from few hours rest of this kind.
The grangers began to arrive early and
as the day wore on the crowd was aug
mented until the scene reminded one of
the Mount Holly fair. Lunch was eaten
on the grounds and this and general dis
cussion of agricultural matters occupied
the time until the exercises proper com
menced at about two O'Clock.
As chairman of the picnic committee,
Edmund Braddock, a past master of the
State Grange, addressed the grangers in
behalf of the organization and cordially
welcomed all present. The other speakers
were W. ]. Thompson, lecturer of the
Maine State Grange; Mrs. Ella Southland,
lady assistant steward of the Massachu-
sets State Grange, and George w. F.
Gauntt. of Mullica Hill, master of the

ton among the farmers and urged re-
vival of the movement that has been SO
successful in the New England states,
with which two of the orators were es-
pecially familiar 1t is hoped that New
Jersey will keep on until it is thoroughly
organized.

under the grand stand where the meeting
was held was turned over to the younger
set and the balance of the day was spent
in dancing. The picnic ended with sun
