Granite Grange North Searsport, met at
their hall March 18th with members of Comet
Grange as invited guests. Comet turned out
in full force; in fact, they did not think they
had so many members, and they were as full of
fun as dog is full of fieas. Worthy Master
Ira Veaze called the grange to order and after
the usual routine of business called for the
program, which was as follows: singing by the
choir; address of welcome, G. H. Stevens; re-
sponse by the W. M. of Comet Grange, Mrs.
Louise Cunningham. A recess was then taken
for supper, followed by tucker for the young
folks, although IN fact there were some gray
and bald heads in line. The grange was then
reconvened and the program continued as fol
lows: recitation. Miss Evelyn Spaulding, who
was encored. Bro. W. T. Nckerson then led
off in his usual way, followed by SO many Nick
ersons it would be almost impossible to name
them. Nearly all the members seemed to feel
like talking, while others told stories in which
poor Pat and Mike had to bear the brunt of the
battle AT a late hour the grange closed. All
seemed to enjoy the occasion.
