A most enjoyable evening was spent with
the grangers Tuesday evening when the
teachers and parents were met by State Lee
urer Gardiner Of Westheld who gave a very
practical talk on The Making Of a Good Cit
ilen IL was his idea that not only the
teachers OF the public schools but the parents
aud citizens were equally responsible as to
what should be the character Of the citizens
OF twenty years from today. Mr. Gardiner
remarks were supplemented by others from
Superintendent +, +, Howard songs were
sung by the school children and the Glee
attending the high school. The lecturer Of
the grange, Mrs. NJ. r. Moore, had charge Of
the evenings program, and the exercises
closed with a song by the grange members.
The managers Of the lecture course were
able to give a fine entertainment Friday
evening, when two members of the Apollo
club assisted by Mrs. Priest, a reader, gave
concert TO n large audience in the town
hall The selections by both Mr.. Paine and
Mr. Holden were very pleasing and of ar
tistic merit, while there was much harmony
in their duets, so they were recalled after
each number The best thing Of the even
ing was the wonderful impersonation of
Madame Patti by W. +. Paine, who sang the
brilliant arias Of the popular songstress in
such a manner that he was recalled again
and again. Mrs. Priest gave enjoyable Sc
ections in her monologues and the entire
evenings entertainment was pronounced the
best Of the course. The date of the ban
quet will be during May
The Fortnightly club held the regular meet
ing Monday afternoon. Mrs. d. NJ Wilson
gave half.hour talk on Queen Elizabeth
and her times and Miss Gladys Moore gave
an interesting paper on Mary, Queen Of
Scots, and these papers were followed by
discussions and readings. The paper on
Current Events was given by Mrs. Alvin
George. During the afternoon Mrs. n.
p. Wood presented the club gavel
which was made from the sycamore tree
cut on the Field place. The wood
of which the gavel is made is beautiful and
is inlaid to show the different grains Of the
wood As the tree was cut on the home
stead which was the birthplace Of the late
Mrs 4. NJ. d. Alexander, it seemed fitting
that the gavel should be used in connec-
ton with the handsome desk with which
Mrs. Alexander presented the club a short
time before her death
