Rev. r. E. Danforth, formerly pastor

| torate.
The first coming in of the conventional
| broad gauge train on Sunday about 2 p
m. was greeted by more people on the

The first shovelfull of earth, when grounC

| cast by the late Mrs. Mary r. BircharC

large number Of applauding people.
Pomona Grange Of Windham count!
met with the local Grange at Union hal
Wednesday and observed a pleasant!
| carried out program. Lunch, of which
| so partook, was served in the dining room
| of the hall, and in the afternoon must,
was rendered, speeches given and a dis
| cussion held on the relative merits o
| education and observation, many taking
| part, irrespective of Grange membership
| The occasion was enjoyable, but not a
well attended by members Of local so
cieties as We should suppose the perfec
day would have tempted. However
| farmers have been hindered in their hay
making the past week and the old adeg
| mixing up sunshine and haymaking prob
ably had its influence.
