FARMERS AWAKENED
Penh's Grove Grange Organized.

The farmers in this region were never
so enthused as at present and theii
action last Saturday i'll organizing a
Grange shows that they are alive to theil
f%raternal, and material welfare.
The meeting in the lodge room OF Odd
Fellows Hall was attended by over
hundred Of the leading agriculturists and
their wives of Upper Penns Neck. Their
were over fifty members OF the Woods
town, Swedesboro, Mullica Hill and
Bridgeport Oranges present.
Wilbert F.. Sailor called the meeting
to order and introduced George w. f.
Gaunt, Of Mullica Hill, State Master OF
Oranges, who read the declaration oil
principles of the organization and ex-
planned its practically operations, which
cover the fraternal, social, educational,
industrial, and commercial interests
of the tillers and owners OF the
soil. More enlightened farmers make a
happier and better nation.
On roll call for members forty-five were
added to the charter roll OF tOrty-tWo
taken at the meeting two weeks previous.
Three members were received from Ped
rlcktown, making ninety members to
start with. After the election of officers,
which took. considerable time, supper
was served in the hall to about 200 who
enjoyed the social and feast.
In the evening State Master Gaunt,
assisted by County Deputy Edward
Buzby, of Woodstown Grange, explained
the signs and with the assistance of Mr..
Gaunt's wife the officers were installed
as follows; -
Master, Wilbert F. Sailcr
Overseer, Charles l.. Smith
Lecturer, Mrs. VIM. A. Summerill
Steward. Albert B. Layton.
Assistant, Willard Layton
Chaplain, Rev. II. S. Kidd
Treasurer, Matthew Mitchell
Secretary, James B. SummeriJl-
Gate Keeper, Warner Holdcraft
Ceres, Mrs. James B. Summerill
Flora, Mrs. Hannah Ashcraft
Pomona, Mrs. C. L. Smith
Lady Asst. Steward, Mrs. Frank Sum-
merrill.
Entertaining addresses were made by
the officers and visitors which showed
the latent talents that can be developed
for the interest of Others about them.
The membership is enthusiastic and
and earnest and the noble purpose before
them will surely be of benifit to the farm
ing community.

knows, has not respected the integrity

For the LegiaIature.

The nominations made last evening
at the Repnblicafisc caucus at City lnsll
must commend themselves most
strongly to all the citizens of Augusta
who desire to see the city well repre-
scented in the next Legislature. Both
Mr.. Burleigh and Mr.. Andrews are
men in whose favor much can be said
and against whom nobody can say a
word. Both are lawyers of the high
est standing, a qualification Of special
value since they are candidates for
membership in body of lawmakers
Both are recognized in their profession
as men Of absolute integrity and of
unfaltering fidelity to every trust
Both are men famed for the thorough
ness with which they master every de-
tail of whatever case or task that lies
before them.
Neither has ever been an active poll
tician, in any offensive sense of the
term, but one of them as an alderman
and the other as city clerk and mem
Der of the school board have given
Augusta honest and efficient service
which stamps them as the type of men
most needed in legislative work Both
have lived lives without stain or
blemish in any private. professional or
official relation. Augusta is to be con-
graduated that two such men have
been nominated as it's representatives
to the Legislature. Stronger candi-
dates could not well be found, and if
high character and exceptional capac-
ity for public service are winning quail
tiles with the voters of Augusta,
both Mr. Andrews and Mr.. Burleigh
will be elected by large majorities in
September.

Is 1t Another Nature Fake?
maine Sportsman.)

(MalnG SpOrtSndn)
If the reports ir the papers are true,
relative to the statements attributed
to Il man who has been in the Dead
River region after material for lee
lures on natural history, then there is
a delightful prospect ahead for those
who don't knew of the wonders of the
woods, for this man claims to have
photographed beavers at work, to have
recorded the call of the bull moose to
its mate on the monograph, and to
have charmed al the wild creatures of
the forest with his sweet toned flute
All these things will be reproduced
in his lectures, but until the students
of natural history see beavers hauling
logs II inches in diameter into the
water to make dams of, and see the
actual photographs of the timid crea-
lures of the wood as they gather
about to listen to the flute or jump in
alarm at the shrill notes of the violin,
or see the bull moose which calls its
mate in June, months before the mat
ing season in September, they are
liable to be bit shy about placing
too much confidence in the wonderful
discoveries of this nature student, who
may yet outfake even the greatest of
the nature fakirs.
There is said to be nothing shyer in
the woods than the beaver, whose
work is so rarely seen by man that it
may almost be said that no human
eye looks upon the actual work being
done by a beaver, outside of those
parks and zoos where the beaver gets
somewhat accustomed to the presence
of mankind

Reflections Of the Fourth.

(Rockland Courier GaZette)
Soon as man gets a little way by

ize the foolishness of the current meth
DDS of celebrating independence Day.
Oh, yes, Of course, you instantly accuse
us of fossilizing, and we know what
you mean; but if we are at all &C
quainted with ourselves we repudl2te
any intimations that our heart is no
longer young. We remember what fun
it was to be boy and whoop 1t up
with others of like loose views upon the
comfort and rights of others-but truly,
looking back, with the serener Judg-
ment of accumulated years, we know
of no real benefit that the juvenile
noise and lawlessness brought to us.
The noise Of the night before the
Fourth, the ignoring of the rights OF
the many by the youthful few, the APP
palling list of killed and wounded that
follows in it's train-what is it all. or
any part of it, good for? The casual
ties of last years Fourth reached a
total throughout the country of near
