Cross Keys Grange was never so flourish
ing as at the present Time nor never was so
much interest taken to make it interesting
to those who attend, and we are very glad
to say that large majority of the men,
bers make it point to attend regularly
and if it keeps on increasing in member
ship as it is at the present time, it will be
necessary to engage a larger hall. They
have arranged for debate on next Satur-
day evening, May "a, and cordial invita-
tion is extended to the members as we'll as
all Changers to come out and enjoy one of
the most pleasant evenings it was ever your
lot to spend. The subject to be debated is
(Which is the most profitable to the
farmer, horse or cow"

| Elmer Ell. Crane and family have beer
spending few days with Mrs. P. Pease
Mr.. Cranes mother.
| We wish to compliment the Dominic OF
the large attendance seen at the church last
Sunday evening. 1t seemed that nearly
/
be source of much pleasure to him to hav
the cooperation of such large majority O
the residents. The choir gave half-houl
song service that was heartily, appreciated
by all that attended. We think the sextor
might have given us little better ventila
ton, but expect he was so surprised to SCI
such large congregation, that it sort o
unnerved him. The Rev. Mr.. Fislel
oil
a trife long, yet we feel that he wa
Justified in so doing as it is rarely that HI
gets chance to haul so many Of us owe
the Goals, as he did last Sunday evening.
Mr.. David Bates is building new house
on the Williamstown road.
Our merchants say that business wa.
never better than at the present time.
Strawberry short-cake is in order.
Come and join the choir next FRIDAY
night if you can sing. If you don't, whether
you are singer or not, come and we will
tell you. How will you ever know if you
don't find out ? Meet at the parsonage.
The little shower we had on Tuesday
certainly made work for the farmer, and
everybody had the backache Tuesday night
and if you asked them what was the matter
they all answered the same-been setting
out plants.
The church will be renovated in the near
| future.
Say, how much will you give towards
the purchase of bell to be placed in the
church Don't you think we need one?
We are glad to see that the Freeholders
Of Washington and Monroe townships have
come to the conclusion that iron pipe
will carry away the water from the centre
of town as well as the old wooden trunks
that have formerly been used, and which
have been great expense, and in addition
constant source of danger to all travellers
Now do away with the wooden trunks, and
we will call down blessing on your heads.
