NEWS OF THE ORANGES.

Comet Grange, Swanville, is to have a
harvest feast next Monday night, and the
Brothers are to cook it.
A farmers institute will be held in the
grange hall in North Searsport, Nov. 18th.
1t is hoped there may be full attendance.
Granite Grange will furnish beans, bread
and coffee.
Honesty Grange, Morrill,, is about closing
a successful year. The grange has increas-

work has been of the highest quality. At
their last meeting the Sd and 5th degrees
were conferred upon two members and ap-
plications were received from three more
Harmony prevails and the social feature is
much enjoyed.
Granite Grange, North Searsport, held a
regular meeting Nov. Sd with full house.
Worthy Master VIM. J. Matthews opened
the grange in due form. After the regular
routine of business the program was called
for. The question, Do hens pay better on
the farm than COWS? brought out lively
discussion. Biddy won, as she usually does
when she has fair chance.
William j. Thompson of South China,
lecturer of the State Grange, and a member
of the Legislature, was in Rockland last
week, and was interviewed by the Courier
Gazette. He declared the Grange was not

for the value of our grange property. and
we are second only to New York in point
of membership. The farmers find that the
grange affords not only social benefits, but
many practical advantages, such as the saw

drifted to enforcement and Mr.. Thompson
said:
