tated unless the blood is kept pure and
rich. Such unusual conditions call for
more nourishment than the blood can
supply and paleness, headaches, poor
appetite, unrefreshing sleep, backaches,
loss of spirits and general tired-out
feeling, which follow, are simply call
for blood tonic and builder.

Wesserrunsett Grange Dedicates
New Hall.

The dedication of the new Grange
building to the "Patrons of Husban-
dry" last Friday marked an impor-
tant era in the history of Athens
Grange. Although not complete i'll
every detail, the large, pretentious,
two story building, situated on the
lot commonly known as the John
Ware lot, on the corner of Maine and
Elm streets, is one to we'll please the
eye and satisfy the longing heart OF
any patron as he looks upon it as his
grange home. This step of building a
hall for themselves has often been a
subject for consideration among the
grangers, and about year ago the
final decision to build was made.
The present site was selected and the
proper means employed to secure the
same when the affair was left till
spring. After carefully considering
the matter through the winter a
building committee composed OF
George Allen, James Chapman and b.
p. Barker were appointed to have
oversight and care of its erection.
This they have done in a manner
highly satisfactory to the patrons and
in a way to reflect much credit upon
themselves as designers and builders.
The building is 72x35. The first floor
includes the dining hall, kitchen, fur
mace room and closets as well as the
large waiting rooms at both ends of
the building. The second floor in
cludes The main hall with a fine large
stage, well equipped with dressing
rooms. The large dressing room

Master, Obidiah Gardiner. The pa
irons and friends of the grange, who
we'll nigh filled the main nall, felt
that the moment was indeed step
ping stone to the life and growth of
the order. There were other sur
prises in store for those who would
be entertained, in the person of Mi -
Andrews of Augusta. So well did
she please her listeners as an elocu-
ZIONIST that she was several times re-
called, each time responding to an
