Arson Grange 2. Of II.

The married members of the
Arson Grange were entertained by
the single members. at the regular
meeting of the order on Aug. l.
The entertainment took the form
of Minstrel Show and was, indeed, a
typical one, sparkling with timely
Jokes upon all grange members, and
having many pleasing musical fea-
lures. Beside the chorus singing,
solos by Alta Ellis, Byron Slfpp, and
Donald Berry were enjoyed. The
colored young folks filled the chairs
in very devout manner and conduct
ed mock Grange meeting in rather
contrary to the usual custom style.
As Worthy Master. Byron Slipp was
an ideal one as to manner, dress and
dialect of The colored people. All
other officers were right onto their
Job and to be fully appreciated had
to be seen. Mr.. Arthur Ella was in
terloctur and filled that position most
admirably.
Several visitors were present from
Kennebec Valley Garage.
On the evening of Aug. is the mar
ried people will fill the chairs and
furnish the program. This meeting
will close the contest between the
single and married members, and the
defeated side will furnish supper and
entertainment, probably at a special
meeting. The judges in the contest
are Mrs. Edna Ellis, Mrs. Emma
Slipp, Messers Harry Spaulding, John
Wentworth and Willis Emery.
