had its birth with the assistance of a very
| smooth talker from somewhere up the
state. who represented that the members
would form n privileged class who could
buy much cheaper and sell much higher
than other people This theory in time
was found to be delusve and when the
organization got down to its true basis
of a social and literary order. the mem
| bership had become so much reduced that
the charter had to be surrendered The
| Grange as now run Is doubtless n good
thing. and might find favor here but for
| the feeling that with a successful tenn
| perance organization, a magazine club
| and fine public library at command we
have about all that we can digest.
