Saturday evening, Oct. 22d, Morning
Light Grange, Monroe, had by invitation
nearly one hundred members of Comet
Grange of Swanville as visitors; also men,
bers of Granite Grange of North Searsport.
About two hundred had supper and there
was enough and to spare for all. After
supper, as the Grange hall was not large
enough to accommodate the people, the COM
pany went to the town hall where the pro-
gram was given. 1t included an address of
welcome by Miss Lizzie Moore; response
by Hosea White of Comet Grange; and a
play entitled "The Old Fashioned Husk-
ing" The stage of the town hall was fitted
up as barn and about twenty comprised
the husking bee. During the husking of
the corn songs and violin solos were given.
All were well pleased, and just before 12
O'Clock the company started for their homes,
thinking the evening well spent. A vote of
thanks was given Morning Light Grange
for the good time enjoyed by all.
