The fair and sale held by the
Grange last Thursday evening was a
success from all points of view and
netted the society over $50. The
hall was tastefully decorated with
cheese cloth and red, white and blue
crepe paper. The exhibit of fancy
work was fine and the judges were
puzzled to know which pieces deserV-
ed the blue ribbon, as the work on
each was so well done. The ice
cream and candy booths furnished
attraction as did the
spread supper table. All
present enjoyed themselves and With
out doubt will watch for the vege-

Grange plan to have in the fall.
