GOSSIP OF THE ORANGES.

At the annual meeting of Houlton
Grange, the reports of the year We're
read. The report of the secretary, ira
J. Porter, was full of interest for the
grange members and shows that Houi-
ton grange is in a most flourishinS con-
dition. This grange is now the largest
in New England and numbers six hun
dred and seventy-eisht members. The
report of the treasurer shows that the
grange Is also in Il good financial con-
dition with a, good sized balance on
hand. Perhaps the report when
aroused the most interest was that OF
the purchasing agent and manager OF
the grange store, Mr.. George Mcln-
tosh, who reported that over $4,000
worth of goods have been sold during
the current year. This shows that the
amount of business done is steadily
increasing and is very gratifying to the
grange members.
Dexter Grange now has Ala members,
and all are alive to the interests of
their organization. This grange will
hold q fair next year.
