At least any one who sat with the Grang-
ers, on last Monday night would have
thought Sr. Pomona, the goddess of aut-
umn and OF fruits, was the presiding deity,

tic profussion a great variety OF her most
perfect productions. Pomona was repre-
sented by Mrs Ida Heritage Perhaps I

the entertainment with the following little
address Dear brother and sister Grang-
ers,-we have reached, once more, the
glorious autumn season. The earth glows

division, made with all the inspiration of
song, and which leaves us at least one side
of the cherry, how are we to tolerate that
division predicted by some of the labor
prophets Pomona feels that the man who
is not satisfied to divide his cherries with
the birds, and the children, is unworthy
the name of Granger. Believing that he is
not among the good Changers assembled
here tonight, Pomona graciously invites
you all to her feast "
