MILFORD GRANGE

In spite Of the stormy and unpleas-
ant day a large audience greeted Lieut..
Pruitt at the Grange hall last Satur-
day afternoon. The address was a
most pleasing and instructive one and

showed their keen interest in the sub
ject presented.
Next Saturday the literary hour will
be given to a study of the constitution
and bylaws of the Grange.
During the afternoon a bake will be
held in the lower rooms. This bake is
in charge of the piano committee and
the proceeds will go to the funds be-
ing raised for the purchase of a much
needed new piano. By your patronage
you will please yourselves and help a
worthy cause.

butte to this Rolls, doughtnuts, cake,
