Neighbors' Nights.

One Of the big Grange events, in
every state, Is the neighbors' night
visitation, which brings together
great gatherings OF patrons from a
wide area The usual plan is for the
visiting members to provide the eve-
ning's entertainment, while they, in
turn, are furnished a good supper.
These visits often mean long rides
over rough country roads, late hours
and altogether a tired, weary trip;
yet the members go enthusiastically
and return cheerily, always feeling
we'll repaid for making the trip.
Such a neighborly interchange of
thought and talent constitutes one of
the most valuable phases of the work
of the Grange and tends to promote
breadth of feeling and plans among
rural people, Hundreds of these
neighbors' night gatherings are held
every year. In which thousands OF
people participate; and oftentimes
many questions of community inter
estest are profltabiy discussed at
these inter-visitation gatherings. in
addition to the entertainment. the
good time and the good supper that
are the invariable accomplishments OF
the assembly.
