Twenty or thirty of the Dorset
Changers attended the meeting of the
Washington Pomona Grange held in
Rupert Tuesday afternoon and even
ing. A pleasant time was reported by
all.
Ed. Tiff has had the misfortune TO
meet with another accident. While
shaking out logs he in some way got
one of his hands caught in the chain
and all four fingers were quite badly
smashed. 1t is quite possible that he
may lose the little finger. We extend
our sympathy to Mr.. Tiff.
"A very pretty display of the north

grand sight for any one who had not
already seen something like it before.
Monday evening of this week So
ciable was held at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. George Sexton for the purpose OF
raising money to buy bell for the
West Road school house. The attend
ance was very good, but it couldn't
come up to the supper, which every
one heartily enjoyed. A social time
with music, recitng and readings help
ed to pass away the evening. A little
over six dollars and half was raised.
The sociable and tableaux givenby
the Immigrant class last Thursday
evening in the church lecture room was
well attended and nearly $40 was real
lied. This money is to go for the Fam
inc Relief Fund of China. The tableaux
given represented different scenes from
the life of the immigrant-from the
home leaving to the arriving in this
country-and the different occupations
pursued when once he has safely passed
the inspectors at the ports OF entry.
As each one was presented, Mr.. Gar
hart, who had been the teacher OF the
class, explained the various features in
a most pleasing manner.

ranged an attractive literary program,
which was successfully carried out.

voted to a discussion on Poultry Rais-
