could have been desired, and the
number of delegates and visitors was

and ended at p. M, during which
the members disposed of a large
amount of important work. The

many interesting short addresses
were made by delegates and invited
guests.

work contributed very largely to the

A recently organized Grange at
Berrett, with Mr.. Charles Beck as
Master, was duly admitted a member
of Pomona Grange of Carroll county.
The Grange is growing gradually
and ere many years bids fair to be-
como an important factor in matters
agricultural, financial and political.
The word political is here used in it's
broadest sense and is not intended to
convey the idea of party or factional
politics, but rather the broader idea
Of the support Of state and national
founded upon the prin-
ciples of our forefathers, which, in
these days of greed and selfishness,
are often forgotten and are more hon
ored in their breach than in their
observance.
