 The grange meeting Friday evening was most satisfactory. The flrst and second degrees were conferred on five candidates, the degree team doing their work beautifully. The town hall has been improved, and now If the windows could be arranged to drop down from the top, instead oi opening from the bottom, all the ob- jections raised to it as a meeting place would be removed.

 The Fourth of July will be appro- priately observed in town this year. The remembrance of the enjoyable celebration held two years ago prompted several to start a movement for a celebration this year. In view of the great expense and work at tached to getting up a free dinner. as was done two years ago, 1t was thought best to invite families to bring basket lunches and all gather under the trees and enjoy . genuine old-fashioned picnic. The ladies of the church will provide booth where ice cream, candy, fruit, peanuts, etc.. i, will be on sale at all hours of the day. Those who desire to remain on the Hill during the recess between the. afternoon exercises and the flre- works and concert at night may ob- tain light refreshments at the church parlors. The afternoons entertain. ment will consist of parade in which there will be decorated floats, carrI- ages and other conveyances. A gener- al invitation Is issued to owners of teams and carriages to decorate them with flowers and bunting and come to take part in the parade and to make this one of the leading features of the day. In order to ob- viate accidents as much as possible the of the committees were un- in favor of issuing a gener. al request to all who attend the cele- bration to refrain from shooting fire crackers. Fire crackers have 8 way of frightening horses and starting fires, and as there Is no fire fighting in the town it was thought best to take the safe side of the road and issue request that none be fired off. The committee feels confident that everyone will respect the request in view of the circumstances. The decorations and parade will be in the hands of a committee of which MT. in chairman. At both the afternoon and evening exercises an or chestra will furnish music. Miss Cunning Is chairman of the music c mmittee and 1t goes without saying that treat will be in store.: An en- joyable feature of the afternoon will be the sports-good fashioned contests of speed, brawn and dexterity that will amuse everyone.
