Last Saturday the committee met
for making arrangements for the
Grange fair which will take place a
little later. BY the number of people
out it looked as though the whole
Grange must be on committee some
where. The ladies especially carry q
strong oar in getting up the fair
while many of the brothers do not
hesitate at any amount of time and
trouble in order to make the affair a
success. Last year their fair Melted
them about seven hundred and fifty
dollars. Considerable money is need
ed to pay up the expenses of build
ing the new hall and the building is
also needing paint badly so any help
that can be extended will be for a
good cause. When this hall is entire
" finished it will be an addition to
the town that we may well be proud
of and will offer splendid facilities for
our local dramatic talent to work it
self out. We trust that with the very
excellent talent which we have that
we may have a number Of rafting
good dramas during the long winter
evenings.
No more ice this season for the re-
