Grange Fair a Great Success.

Grange Fair Great Success
The third annual fair Of Spofford
Grange has come and gone, and it
proved to be a decided success, both
financially and socially. Owing to the
lateness Of the season and the early
frosts. the exhibition of garden and
farm products were not quite as large
as last wear, but the quality was bet
ter. The exhibit of fancy work was
the equal of last year, and the Girls
club work of canned products was larger
/ and better The Boys club work sort
! of fell through at the last, and only
two boys showed anything, Arthur L.
Welcome and Pierson Richardson.
This year to save time and labor
for the Judges. each exhibit as a whole
was Judged instead of each article
separately Special mention should be
made of the old Colonial wedding suit
of George Smith, grandfather of the late
Herman Smith, the first settlers of the
town.
Dancing as enjoyed by a large crowd
until l O'Clock, and first class chick
en- pie supper was served during the
lentire evening Visitors were present
from all the surrounding towns, and
