some trees and an average of gu
pounds on all is the reported sour
cherry crop of the orchard owned by

heavier as they grow older. From the
crop this year Mr.. Brown realized an
average of $500 to the acre. Mr..
Brown probably has the largest sour
cherry orchard in the state.
Another unusual crop of cherries
was reported to Peacy Brothers Real

the successful event. Some 400 dinner
tickets were sold, for which about $3.50
was received. The drama and dance
were largely attended, with music by
Shaw's Orchestra of South Paris. Base
ball games, horse and OK pulling, tugs
of strength by the boys and the midway
enlivened the event.
No signs of booze apparent, and the
whole affair was very successful and
added handsome amount to the grange
treasury. The hall show was never
equslled in the place. Fine large ex-
hibits Of fruit, vegetables, household
fabrics, fancy articles, and q collection
Of antiquarian articles drew the delight
of the big crowd.
Everybody seemed pleased and In
fine spirits without booze, and the whole
